Where is everybody?

It's been a while since we've had any new posts here, or any info on what's going on with people in the family so I just thought I'd ask a question and see what kind of answers I get. I know our cousin Nick is in Korea, he'll be there for a while and then he's off to Germany for another year or two. And I know that I (Mark) am in Selma and that Cathi is due in late January.

So. . . where are you?

Birthday Pictures

Looks like Sawyer had a good time at his birthday party. I'll try to add a few more pictures later.

This is Ladies Night...

Ladies, Ladies, Ladies you are invited to a ladies night at Caroline's house in Bakersfield. We are going to have a rummy table (that's cards, not booze) and some other games of the dice throwing variety. Good food, drink and company. The date is September 30th, Sunday night at 6:30 pm. Give Caroline a call or post on the blog is you can make it.
See you there!

Happy Birthday Scott and Alli

I wish I had a picture of you guys to post up here. Instead all I could find was a picture from one of Officer Scraps' recruiting camps and a not so brave Maine Black Bear.

The Little Guys

These are a few pictures I took over at Everett's Birthday party in Bakersfield last week. Oddly enough I don't have a picture of the birthday boy. Maybe it's because I could only get the little guys to stop and pose for the camera.

I see that Dad beat me to the pictures...Kevin and I had so much fun, and we wish that all of you could have been there, but you were all missed. Hopefully withing the next year, year and a half Kevin and I will try to plan a trip to the West Coast so you can all meet Kevin!!!

Congratulations to Danielle and Kevin!

Uncle Art sent some pictures from Danielle and Kevin's wedding. It looks like it was a really nice day out there. Uncle Art said that everyone had a good time. Thanks for sharing the great photos. We wish you guys the best of luck.

One More Picture

I had one more photo I couldn't fit on the last post.

Baby Lillian

Here's a very cute picture of the smiling baby Lillian Elvia Grimsley. Congratulations to Scott and Veronica. Mateo and Abram are going to have to look out for this one.

There may not be the same excitement about the football season as last year, but the game against Boise State should still be a fun game. It's October 26th, at 6:00 at Fresno State. Tickets are $35 dollars, and the game will be on ESPN. If this sounds like a game people would be interested in going to then let me know. It's still a while away, but we would probably need to get the tickets by the middle of September to still get okay seats.

Lillian Elvia Grimsley

Congrats to the Scott and Veronica Grimsley family! They have welcomed a new little girl into their lives. Lillian was born yesterday, August 6th at 4 in the morning. She arrived a few weeks early. She weighed 4lbs 7 oz. and has a lot of hair. Mom is doing well and will probably go home today, and Lillian should get to come home later this week. Hopefully we will have a picture soon. Congrats Scott and Veronica! We will keep Lillian in our prayers.

Officer Scraps subdues suspicious character

Mark Your Calendar

Don't forget to bring your favorite side dishes. See you Saturday!

Keep your calendar open, we'll be having the August Fiest party on the 4th in Woodville at the Smith's house. Keep your eye out for the invitation and start thinking about what to bring!!!

Veronica's Baby Shower

Here's a couple pictures from Veronica's baby shower yesterday. All I know is that the cake was good.

Officer Scraps Apprehended

After only two weeks, Flea’s job is done! Officer Scraps was found in another one of his underground fight clubs in Mexico. Thanks to Flea, Officer Scraps was not only found, he was also apprehended by Mexico’s authorities. After an extremely long chase Scraps finally gave in and was taken in peacefully. No one knows what is in store for Scarps after this.
