Their time here went too fast.....we went to Knepp's Thursday for supper, Friday Ruth and Joyce went to visit Paul in the hospital and then we went to Jim and Lil's for supper and Mom made breakfast for everyone on Saturday morning before they headed back. Jackie was here also - but we didn't get to see her and Paul's family much because Paul was in the hospital due to heart problems.

2010 Father's Day

We went to the park for Father's Day, it was very hot to say the least! We took some pics of the dads and their kids.......

Dad and his bunch.....

Chic and his beautiful girls...........

Ernie and his boys......this was picture #3 by the way....you'd think it wouldn't be that hard to get one good picture!! I'm so thankful for the father that Ernie is to the boys, he's always there for their sports events and always ready to give or do anything they need or want! The boys are very blessed to have him as their dad!!

John and his boys....................

Keith and his little sweeties..........

Calvin and his cute little crew............

Karen grilled chicken and we had ranch potato's, taco salad, green beans, chocolate ice cream and cake.

Claire, Kyann and Kendell......

I took a picture of Kyann and she said "see"....so I showed her the picture on the camera and she said "oh baby"....to funny!! She still thinks she is the baby!!!!

Josh found a new toy to play with!!!!

Noodles...........

Judy and I had some extra eggs.....and she was on vacation....so we made noodles. We don't do it very often...it's kinda fun/enjoyable and they are so good! As I was cleaning the noodle maker - I noticed that it had the initials KM on it....this noodle maker belonged to my Grandma Miller - Katie Miller. Wonder how many noodles it has made? It was always a fun day to go to grandmas and make noodles with the other aunts and cousins.......

Judy mixing them up in her food processor.....

Patting them out in a roll..........

Ethan and grandma cutting the noodles....Ethan is a good little worker and has helped his aunt Barb often enough that he knows a thing or two about making noodles!!!

Put them to rest on Ethan's bed to dry......
