Summertime Update

It's been a long time since this blog was updated! Anyway, there have been some things up with wich we have put. But, most of the things were very nice indeed. Foremost was the arrival of Annalise to the Olsons. She is soooo "toot", as Elizabeth likes to say. For more pics of Anna, see link below:

Brent took a road trip with his Doug in July and saw some sights of scenic wonder in Wyoming and Idaho. Nice view of the Tetons from the Idaho side.



Waterfall on Henry's Fork (Idaho):




Square Top Mountain from Green Lakes (Wind River Range, Wyo.)

Fun at the Lambert Family reunion in August! I think we should have popped for a few more red shirts and everyone could be "with Ruth Alice". Ruth's tribe outnumbered the rest combined!

Papa with Brooklyn:

The playground was a hit with Elizabeth:

But I shouldn't have said anything to her about the loose bolts on the swing chains!

Brooklyn having fun, too:

Hangin at Halloween

The Halloween highlight was Elizabeth in her Tinkerbell costume!

She was very proud of her wings:

Here's just hanging around on Sunday evening:

Nina Gets Shaved

When good dogs get bad haircuts!

Before:

After:

There was a series of misleadments about the meaning of the word "trim" with the groomer at PetSmart. Nina is highly embarassed, so please don't make fun of her. She is VERY sensitive about her new look. Everyone has bad hair days. Hers will probably last for about 6 months!

Holiday Candids

Well, another Christmas and New Year have come and gone and we had a great time spending time with the family and friends. It was a big bonus to have the West Haven gang come for New Years Eve and the following week. Brooklyn got to meet all her cousins, aunts and uncles and, of course The Nina. We'll let the pictures tell the rest .....

More Granddaughter Pics

Maybe we should just title this blog "Our beautiful granddaughters!"
Anyway, Momilla is back from the 3-week nanny stint in Connecticut with new pictures of Brooklyn Margo. We think she is too cute for words.

We also spend time with our not-so-little Elizabeth. She is almost walking! She really likes Nina. She holds toys at arms length while Nina attacks the toys. She does everything but wave a cape and yell "Toro!" Nina has her well trained. Mom and Dad don't want to admit that here first word seems to be "Dog". I think that Elizabeth developed a taste for banana cream pie on Thanksgiving.

New Arrival - Brooklyn Margo

Got a couple more pictures of Brooklyn added here! She is incredible!



OK, here are the latest pics of Brooklyn Margo Epperson. This little one sleeps a ton and is very sweet. You will all love her to pieces. She and Elizabeth could be good friends someday! Our time in Connecticut has been wonderful. I hope to get a round of golf in with Boo before I leave, but meeting Brooklyn has been and will be the highlight!

First Blog

Trying to figure this blog thing out. When I do, I'll try to put something interesting here. For now here is a picture of Buffy and me in Goblin Valley. Well, actually the place is Little Wild Horse Canyon, but it is close to G.V. State Park. "Outback Phil" is in the backround.
