Music by My Boys

I walked in on Phil and this is what I heard....loved it!

Weekend at Rob & Phil's

This is Kristin Jones, Rob's girlfriend. We really enjoyed meeting her and she's so easy to talk with [and very pretty]. Notice Rob's new leather couch!

We went to KC to visit the boys the w.e. after New Year's day and meet Kristin [not sure of the spelling]. Went out to a wonderful Italian dinner and really enjoyed it. Afterwards we went back to R&P's to watch TV and visit some more.

Bear's in for the night trying to go to sleep. What a riot! Robby covers him up and he lays on this "huge" pillow bed. What a life......So taken care of!! : }

New Years in St. Louis

Mom's birthday party. We had such a good time visiting with everyone.

Danny and Papa. So proud!!!

The Hales and Dino. Toddy had to work this night....bummer.

Singing Happy Birthday to Noni S. We really got into the singing part : }

Playing Right, Left, Center Dice game. What fun! Notice the money to my right!! : } Really it was extra. Nessa, Al and Danny won games and got to keep the quarters!

The Westwood family. Danny's just home from Australia after 4 months and will be home until Feb. Brooke is manager at the Express in the Galleria in St. Louis

Good looking Brother-in-laws.....getting older.....but still good looking! : }

Our yearly picture of "The Short Girls"; we're not getting older, we're getting better : }

New Years Day at Diane and Marks. Chris looked great and is working hard even though his hours have been cut back.

Diane, me and Noni S. eating snacks before dinner....not a good thing, but they were soooo good!

What....you want some of this lucioius carmel corn?? I don't think so!

Papa S. loved his new prophecy bible. He truly was excited.

Christmas in Omaha

Bear trying on his new green collar with his name on it. "Hey dad, I think it's a bit tight!" : }

Chrsitmas dinner of Pork Loin with the bones and all the favorite side dishes requested. "Merry Christmas to All".

Every year dad hides a small gift somewhere in the tree and I truly never notice and don't remember he's doing this. Here I am searching for it. FUN!

Brotherly love so endearing to a mother's heart to see. Great huggers!

Just like I remember on Christmas mornings years ago....what a mess. : }

Christmas in Omaha

Opening presents on Christmas morning. Phil loved his camera from us and hat from Rob. Looks happy doesn't he? : }

Rob was very happy with the Beer Making Kit from Phil.

Noni and Papa looking at the picture album we received from the Deno's of our grandkids...LOVED it! : }

Dad just waiting for more presents to come as he sips his coffee and watches Phil handing them out.

Phil gets this job every year since he is the youngest. He acts like he doesn't like the job, but we know he LOVES it.

Christmas in the "Little" Apple

This was at the end of the present opening and everyone was vegging out! See Emma's new purse, American Doll Baby and highchair.

Everyone loved what Will got [ a baseball batting practice for toddlers]. Batter Up, Will!

Noah trying on the hat that went with his Vietnam pajama's. It even has a long braid in the back! : }

Noah loved his Better Batter game and so did Mommy and Daddy.

The Robinson's amongst all the presents, patiently waiting to open them.

Christmas in the "Little" Apple

Teaching Noey how to slow dance to "Silent Night".

Adam couldn't resist getting dad in a strong-hold that he couldn't get out of and if you can see his face, you'd know he was trying. Noah thought it was the most fun "ever" and joined right in. And that's Tara "trying" to hold dad's legs down : }
