they had such a celebration on their birthday!

Proud grandpa and grandma with such beautiful grandkids

Our grandchildren are probably the most precious possessions we have! We are so blessed and thankful for their sweet little spirits. Caden born July 4th 2000 was our first born. It was our greatest pleasure to be able to view the birth of our 1st grandson. We were reminded the day our own first born son's were delivered. Ashley, born August 22, 2002, presented herself as the first princess of this family, and that she is! Her sweet little presence into this world brought a few tears to a proud grandpa 's eye. 2004 brought our family heart ache, with the passing of son Jeff, but tremendous joy of the birth of our beautiful twins, Allie and Conner, born November 1, 2004. We knew in our hearts that Jeff had a hand in preparing these precious little spirits to be sent to our family. Born the same day as grandpa's birthday, and what a birthday present they were! Allie was brought into our arms by her daddy, so small but so very bright eyed as if to say "hello" to the new world around her. Our sweet little Conner was a little more apprehensive in making his entry into this life. He struggled with some developmental problems at first, and recently was stricken with a blood disorder. But throughout his short little life, has been compelled to fight the difficulties he has come to know, and become the strong and healthy little boy we love so much today. We will continue to love and cherish each and every one. We hope to inspire their love of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and know that through His love comes the everlasting love within.
