#1 Grandson..Ryker

I was told the other day that I haven't posted any recent photos of my #1 grandson...Ryker. So Fonda here's a few photos of him. I need to learn how to post video too. I have one of him laughing at Allen on my Iphone. I will try my best to post it soon. He's down for the count...well, just as long as you don't count too high. He takes lots of little catnaps. Looks like he is shaking his fist and yelling at the TV. He will make a great arm chair quarterback one of these days. He's only about 6 weeks old in this picture. He looks bigger than he actually is but to me he has grown quite a bite since he was born. He is now around 10 pounds and 21" long. He is moving around a lot these days. I don't remember the girls moving this much as such a young age. He won't be 3 months old until the middle of April and you already have to watch him like a hawk. He kicks so much that he will be off the sofa in a heartbeat. No more leaving him on the sofa while you throw a dirty diaper away. If he can get his hands and knees going in the same direction, there will be no catching up with him. Looks like he is picking his nose but he is reaching out to his momma. I've got to say, Allen and I are having a blast with him. He comes to our house every Sunday afternoon to seee us. The first Sunday he came to see us, he was a little fussy but now we are having a wonderful time with him. He loves to watch cartoons as long as they are very colorful, which most are, and there is a lot of action. We keep him about 6 hours then we return him to his mom and Colby at Sears.

Kristen's wedding

Recently a very good friend of Brittany's got married. It was a very lovely wedding at her Aunt's house on the bayou. Above is a picture of Brittany (maid of honor) and the best man, Evan. Brittany looks absolutely breathtaking in her maid of honor dress. In case some of you are wondering, yes Brittany has lost some weight recently. Here is a picture of the bride, Kristen, and Brittany. Kristen was very beautiful in her wedding gown. The whole event was about family. We've known Kristen and her family since she and Brittany were in elementary school together. It's almost like my own daughter getting married except I didn't have to pay or try to organize this one. Much better this way. ha ha

twenty thousand leagues under the sea!!!

Hello everyone, its been awhile since we have posted an update on the aquarium. Its been a work in progress and Rita and I think it is going very well. Here are some new pictures to look at. This one a full view of the aquarium so you can see all the things that are going on in this miniature world.
Just another shot of the aquarium full view. In this shot you can see that our tree to the right has grown to be quite large and still growing. You can also see cinnamon our clown fish.
In this shot you can see some of the many different kinds of coral that we have living in our aquarium. It is so fascinating to watch it grow and we always have starfish somewhere in it too.
This shot as you can see of our tree once again up close. Also the rocks have many colors of algae growing on them.
I hope you have enjoyed taking a cruise thru this virtual world of undersea adventure. We also are fixing to do another aquarium that is going to be twice as big as this one. Yes we will have two! Future pictures to come.
