Grandbaby #4 and #5!!!

Piercen Michael Mathews was born March 28th. He weighed 8 lbs. 5 Oz. and is as cute as can be! He has a full head of hair and has been very alert and active since he was born. Keysha feels like she missed out on the whole "newborn" stage ha ha. She had a midwife at home with no drugs at all! She was a trooper through the whole labor and everything went smoothly. Her labor and delivery was so fast the midwife didn't think my mom and sisters and I weren't going to make it down from E-town.

We are so blessed to have him in our family and are looking forward to seeing him grow up (he already is so fast!)

Exactly one week later Jessica had her baby boy back in Ohio. We don't have any pictures yet but his name is Corbin Staheli Elkington and he weighed 8 lbs. 9 Oz. We are looking forward to travel back East and meet this little guy!

30 Years and 13 Children Later...

Happy Anniversary Dad and Mom. You two are the greatest parents us kids could ask for. Thanks for everything!

Done at Last!

The kids have been so busy with their extra curricular activities, we haven't been able to barely relax and take a breath. With Cross Country, Volleyball, Football, FFA, Mutual, Scouts and the Primary Program... life has been just a little hectic. Finally a few of these things are over with and life is starting to settle down for the holiday season to stir things up again. :)

Keysha at 4 months

We are sooo super excited for Keysha. She is due at the beginning of April. She and Mike are going to be surprised on the sex of the baby so we will just have to wait! :)

Happy Birthday America!

This fourth of July we sat on our grass and listened to Dad read us about the history of our great Country and explain to us the Declaration of Independence. We then read our Freedom poems from our high school contest a few years back. When it got dark we set a few fireworks off. The day before we watched fireworks and went to the movies. On Monday we went and celebrated in Enterprise and ran in the races after a delicious lunch at Grandma's and Grandpa's. We feel all 4th of the July exhausted after celebrating for three days straight!

Happy Birthday Kelly!

Kelly turned 15 a few weeks ago! She is just enjoying summer life! Mom made her Grandma's chocolate cake. Mmmm mmmm...

A Hiking We Will Go...

This hike was really hard. I thought I was going to have an asthma attack, and I don't even have asthma! But the kids did really well and I was grateful when we made it to the top of the mountain. I wasn't grateful when I almost stepped on a snake though...
