Bless our friend Brad, trying to get everyone to look the right direction and smile at the right time....oh well, it's the real thing.

Yes, Meme, you will be getting a copy

OK, maybe its just a "Grandparent-Thing" but what a beautiful family this is. It was hard for our friend 'Brad' to catch a picture with everyones eyes open at the same time, but he got a good one here . Rubin, Tarah, and ,of course, Tatum... all smiling at the same time! Just had to share this one.

No matter how much Grandma spoils the kids, every once in a while they get the "Bluey Blues"(term from some show she watches). It usually is brought on by a "No" response, and luckily is short lived. Tatum got to spend a few days at our house and we couldn't resist getting this picture to show her when she gets older. Funny, we use to call it pouting.

First visit to see our "great nephew", Layne Lee Binkley. I was nice and let Megan have her time with him. Unfortunately , they will be moving back to Thailand soon. Thank goodness for computers so they can keep us up to date....or maybe we'll just have to make another trip to Thailand!

What can we say? She would be cute in a towsack. Yes, our first grandchild. (As you can see in the background, we're exposing her to music... Country?) Miss Tatum rules the roost around our house when she visits. Sorry Tatum's mom, we are going to spoil her rotten...just like we did our three kids! Many a kid is spoiled because you can't spank Grandma (Nana in this case!)

In September we spent a weekend singing and playing at the Walnut Valley Festival. Music ranks up there right after God and family to us. We get to visit friends and musicians from all over the country...and even perform with some (dobro player from northern Kansas). The third weekend in September, you'll know where to find us!
