Jon's Junior Year of Football...

Football season is here and the Centennial High School football team has been busy with "two a days" for the past week. Their first game is August 31 vs Bishop Kelly High at Centennial! Come help us root them on!! We need an Uncle Bill BBQ and a brother Matt cheering Jon on to Victory!



A few of my favorite pictures of Rachel!


























I have so many it's hard to choose just a few! :) Rachel, you are sooooo cute!

Help, I've been tagged!

Farrell & Debbie at Trinty Lake


We first came to Trinity in August 1978 -
one month after we were married!

Twas LOVE!

Look at the 70's hair! We were young AND cool!

I still have that hat :) This was my Samoyed puppy, Tasha.

Then we were blessed with children...

This is our family in 1988...


This is our family in 1996 - notice we added Jon (and Mandy Dog)


Here we are August 2007 - not bad for a couple of grandfolk :)


Look how our children have changed...but we haven't. It's amazing :)

Life has been good to us...
All of our posterity came, except the twins, who were in California working this summer!

Our beautiful family now!

Ah, Trinity . So serene. Still one of our favorite places!
