The Gould's: November 2013
http://thegouldsfamily.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 30, 2013. One Sunday morning the girls looked so beautiful and so I wanted to take a picture of all of them. Charlotte refused to sit with them so I just took it before we left for church and as soon as the girls got up she went right to the bench and said "cheese" but somehow that picture got deleted. One morning before the girls left for school Haleigh took them to the beach. Wed are half days and one Wed Alyssa said "Mom let's have a picnic.I will make it". I just love this girl....

Never Drink the Water: February 2013
http://neverdrinkthewater.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Never Drink the Water. Making the natives restless since 2005. Tuesday, February 12, 2013. This is Forster's rallying cry when he sees someone hurt or in need. I was laying on the couch with typical pregnancy woes and he insisted on kissing it better. I adore this child. Also, when he leaned down to kiss my stomach, the baby kicked him in the face. Today was kind of a big deal. No matter what happens though, the fact that we're in this together makes it all seem doable. Have you seen Hotel Transylvania?

Friday, March 30, 2007. Good day for Jon! Jon had an amazing musical day yesterday. He and two guys from work have been secretly (in the back of the store room at work) practicing two songs for a co-worker's retirement party. Nobody knew they were to perform, and they totally knocked everyone's socks off! It was amazing, and glorious, and so, so fun to listen to. Later, Jared and Reva had musical friends over for a jam session, as shown below. Solei stayed up and enjoyed it. Good day for Jon! Springs, th...

Monkeys Eat Bananas: December 2006

Sunday, December 31, 2006. 2006 Summary for Christmas Card. Surprisingly, life is still a wild roller coaster ride after raising kids. The last few years, we had 4 weddings, and of course what follows that is grandchildren. This year we have had 3 born! And in April we will have another, which will make 4 within one year - a total of 5. What a blessing that is! And somehow we just don't get as much done in a day as we used to. Both of us are serving in the church as the ward Young Single Adult advisory c...

Sunday, February 25, 2007. Eat your heart out - we went to the beach! This was one of those tough Grandma jobs. Michael saw an episode of. Curious George at the beach. When I arrived in FL, he greeted me with, 'We go to beach! What else could I do? It's only 40 minutes away and the weather was sunny and 78 degrees. What's Kathrine doing in the picture? Well, we packed her in the car and took her along. What a great place to lie down after a month on the couch! What a great sandbox! Trip to Florida - Brrr.

Monkeys Eat Bananas: April 2007

Sunday, April 22, 2007. Another Chance At Life. Well the Corolla sold. $150. It was time for it to go, but I did not what to junk it. So, I put an ad in Craigslist. For $250. I had a number of responses, but a guy from a county that does not require inspection came to see the car yesterday. I let him drive it and when he got back he had a simile on his face and said "You've got a deal! Same day, Jared and Reva got a new car, (new for them). No less cars in the drive way.

Monkeys Eat Bananas: July 2007
http://monkeyseatbananashome.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 23, 2007. For all 8 years we've lived here I've wanted to go to Dalonega, and a 32nd wedding anniversary was a good excuse to do it! Guess who joined in? We wandered west to Amicolola Falls State Park. Our destination was the lodge at the top of the mountain, as you can see in the picture. We ate an all you can eat prime rib dinner, with this amazing view. And here is the well fed couple. We walked it off on the trail to the middle of the falls. Here we are:. Another good memory made. Every ...

Monkeys Eat Bananas: October 2006

Saturday, October 28, 2006. Hey, I DO have a life! We have had 2 grandbabies born this year - Elisabeth Mae born in Utah in May, daughter of Sarah and Alex - and a few weeks ago Solei was born to Jared and Reva. And she was born in Brazil! Guess where grandma got to travel to? Here I am in front of the Campinas Brazil temple. Lovely place inside and out! It was interesting to be the only English speakers. The doctor says she is 'perfect'. Grandma thinks so too. Posted by Mom and Dad at 6:36 AM. Genealogy...

Friday, June 29, 2007. Deja Vu - 1978. I've been scanning old slides lately. Here are a few from 1978-9. You may want to look at them backwards. Our girl growing bigger. Our big back yard. Trip to see grandparents. A month after the birth. Our new home - a 10' x 50' trailer - air conditioned! All dolled up for a photo. First kiss. (Quite embarrassing later! Posted by Mom and Dad at 6:23 PM. We come to visit and he hardly notices us. This may make our lives different too. No wonder they sold it! Two weeks...
