Our 38th Anniversary

It was 38 years ago that Gerry and I were married.  Our children and grandchildren should be happy that we were joined together that day. Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband, Gerry.  Love you so much.

Family Reunion in Iowa

 Here is Gerry standing in front of the American Picker's store.  We had a nice time visiting antique stores and craft shops in Le Claire, Iowa.

 The Mayer cousins at the reunion.

 The Mayer cousins with Gerry's Mom and Dad... Uncle Gerry and Aunt Claire to the cousins.

 The in-laws or as we are called "The Outlaws."

 The Mayer third generation.  Alisson is in the photo.  She and baby Ava attended the dinner with us.

 The fourth generation of the Mayer family.  Alisson and Terence's family took up most of the photo. Ha! Ha!

 A few more of the 4th generation.  We had a lovely family breakfast at Eagle Point Park.  This is a Mayer family tradition.

Kori and Evan rode to Iowa and back with us.  We had some exhausted kiddos on the ride home.

Our Little Cutie

 I just melt when baby Ava smiles at me.

Thank you, God, for this precious granddaughter.  We give praise and thanks to you for this miracle baby.

Grandkiddos Stay with Grammie and Pappy G

 Baby Ava finally let Pappy G hold her.  She has been crying for a couple of weeks when he would hold her.  She always wants her Grammie.

 Pizza night with the grandchildren.  They like pizza.

 We did smores with them one evening.  Each child went one at a time to the fire pit with Pappy.  We did this after baths and pj's on. 

 The grandkiddos sporting the shirts they made with me.  Of course, I did baby Ava's for her.

We had the 5 grandkiddos with us for 3 days and 2 nights while their Mommy and Daddy went away for their Mommy's birthday.  Here is precious Ava just hanging out and playing.

Family Fun

 Baby Ava with her Great-Grandpa.  She even took a nap in Great-Grandpa's arms.

We celebrated Father's Day and our daughter Alisson's 30th birthday a week early.  Here is the family relaxing the shade after our luncheon.  We had a wonderful family time.

Evan with his Daddy.  Evan loves his animal cookies that Aunt Bon and Uncle Charlie gave to the kiddos.

All of the kiddos had great fun with the Dollar Store water squirters, the baby pool, and the squirting globe.  They did water play for 3 hours.  I just love when I can have the family together.  We got to Skype with Zach, Laurie and Caden.  So, I had all of my family here.
