Happy Birthday, Jonas!!

In the springtime of 2007 a baby boy was born to the Plattner family… 

That December I had fun playing with Mom at Amazone…

I also had fun in the jumper-roo at Grandma and Grandpa Riley’s.

December 2008…Christmas with Grandma Brinker…

 

I love my tools…now I can build…

Playing at McDonald’s playground is always FUN!!!!

Tree Climbers & Helicopters…

Nathan is ‘one’ of the Tree Climbers… If he’s climbing others will follow…

Jordyn is a wannabe climber…she had to have a little help to get into the tree…’wonder who her helper was’ and what did she eat that is still on her cute little face??

 

Ben is the other tree climber…if Nathan is in the tree Ben must climb also…  Here he let me take his picture and as he paused he ended up getting his head caught between the trunks and started to panic….Grandma had to go to the rescue!!

Here the whole ‘Riley Clan’ is in the tree…not the best pose but this is the first picture of all THREE in a tree together!

Nathan actually asked me to take this picture…

Mark’s NEW toy…  Mark flies it pretty well but I’m going to wait until he masters the controls before I take my turn…

Beautiful blossoms on my ‘weeping cherry tree’… and the end of this blog…

ENJOYING FAMILY VISITS

Enjoyed a fall afternoon and evening with Aunt Edith in Freeport… Did you finish the puzzle??

‘Brothers’ got to spend some time together and have breakfast in Byron a few times…

Hadn’t seen Alan in years.. got to visit with him as well as Christopher & Taylor…

Dale and Judy… ‘The Riley kids’  We don’t get to see Judy and family very often so it was FUN catching up in Paw Paw…

Lisa was born 4 days after Dale’s and my first date in 1966. Now Lisa is all grown up and has her own family in Lee Center.  We had a good visit with Lisa and her boys…

 

Enjoyed good conversation with Dana and Larry (our cousins from the Satterfield branch) in Leaf River… Dana is one of my email buddies and great friend!! I could sit and talk with Dana for hours…

Surprised Larry and Sandy when we dropped by for a visit (our cousins from the Zeller branch) who also live in Leaf River…where Dale was born.

 Enjoyed a visit and dinner with Duane and Valdene. I always enjoy time spent with them…

Dale captured a picture of Sheila and I in Mt Morris before we became ‘gate crashers’ in Grand Detour at the craft festival…  Thanks for your hospitality, Sheila, and MANY laughs!!
