An Evening with the Garlingers…

 

We met Noah… ‘almost a brother to Nathan’..because their birthdays are days apart…

Met a duck with ‘ATTITUDE’ as well an unusual HAIR DO at The Barn where we ate dinner..

Noah and Nathan had FUN feeding the ducks…we were sure they were going to fall in the lake…

Jordyn enjoyed feeding the ducks from the gazebo as her Mom and I snapped pictures…

Nathan enjoyed feeding the ducks from the gazebo as well as ‘chasing’ the ducks..that’s a no no, Nathan…

Ben took time out from playing…

Lauren was uncertain of riding the 4-wheeler, but I think she had FUN!!!

Noah also enjoyed his ride around the yard…  Go…. Noah…  I think he enjoyed the marble run in the house the BEST!!

Aaron ALWAYS enjoys riding the 4-wheeler..today was no exception…

The Garlinger family… our families grew up together… we had SO MUCH FUN…. and STILL DO!!!!!

LaShona and Lauren… enjoyed the time we spent with you…

LaShona and Noah… Noah didn’t want to slow his playing down for a picture.. but we managed okay, You can come back anytime you want, Noah, and play again with your buddy, Nathan!!!

Memorial Weekend Fun….and more..

Grandma’s trying to talk with you Johanna… as all the Plattner’s get into the picture: Jesse, Javan, Jared, Jolene, Jubilee, Jonas and Johanna who will be one year old next month…

I couldn’t resist posting this picture which was taken at Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio…

Jubilee and Grandpa Dale…

4-wheelin’ fun with Amanda and Cori…the first ride we took, including Aunt Sheila, we got a tad bit ‘wet’…. didn’t we girls??

A porch swing is a great gathering place for family… wish we could have had more time.  Of course we would need several more swings to include everyone…

Jordyn enjoyed the ‘slip and slide’ with all of her Illinois cousins…

Ben certainly enjoyed the ‘slip and slide’….

This day Nathan enjoyed climbing the trees…

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…
