William is 13!!

Happy 13th Birthday, William!!

William became a teenager, on the 14th=)  He is growing up so fast, and heartily works up quite an appetite each day! So thankful for my "little" brother, and the great sense of humor he has=) He keeps our grass mown, (which has been growing at a tremendous rate around here) and helps take care of Frankie... We love you, William!

Summer Vacation (Part 2)

After leaving the Siefka's, we headed 9 hours south to PaPa and Grandmother's house in Louisville. We stayed with them for a few days, which we spent doing various activities together. We went over to Uncle Gary and Aunt Diana's house for one evening, visited the nursing home, took a walk around the block, enjoyed a free lunch for Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-A, grilled out, went to the park, and celebrated William's 12th birthday. In the morning (on William's b-day), PaPa, Daddy, and the boys went out to play "soccer golf" somewhere (sorry, no pics of that=(), while we girls went shopping with Grandmother. Later, we met up and went bowling! William LOVED it, and so did his siblings=) And for supper, we went out to a seafood restaurant by the Ohio River, along with Uncle Gary & Aunt Diana, and Uncle Steve & Aunt Joanne. (Aunt Diana is Daddy's sister, and Uncle Steve is PaPa's brother). It was also Uncle Gary and Aunt Diana's anniversary, which we celebrated along with the birthday boy. 

Those times were special, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with family!

Eating dinner at Aunt Diana and Uncle Gary's house.

Lots of catching up to do!

Grandmother goes to the nursing home every Tuesday morning, so we went with her! We sang a few scripture songs, and Daddy preached.

Lounging around waiting for the others to catch up...

Grandpa "Mooer"!

Grandma "Mooer"=)

Getting lots of spots and hats cut out!

Yum, yum... that was a great meal!

15 "head o' Feldmans"!

Emaline teaching Frank to say "rain!"

Lovin' on PaPa!

"Hey, don't take him away!"

Grilling steaks...

Playing corn hole!

At a park nearby

"Way to go, Russell!"

On our way to the bowling rink! I have no idea why the sign was flashing up different names, but my younger siblings were telling me "you got to get a picture of that sign for Farrah!" She was riding separately, but she probably got a pic too=)

Bo was over-all the best... 

I beat Lily Ann once, and she beat me once... But she had a higher score when she beat me.... And, since we had some younger ones playing on our alley we had the bumpers up, so we had it easy=)

Miss Emaline Rose

"Good throw!"

Most the bowlers=)

Russell was so funny... he would run up and throw the ball as well as himself down the alley!=) One time he made it halfway down, and had a hard time getting back because it was so slippery!

He had a good running start...

But not quite long enough for his liking...=) Then, he would sit there in that position, and watch the pins to see how many he got!

My turn!

Birthday boy!

It was neat seeing everybody's different ways of throwing!

Justice always poised with one arm behind his back, just like that=)

There was a train track by the seafood restaurant, and we happened to be there when an engine stopped and sent someone inside to get their supper! It was neat getting to see that!

The playground by the pavilion we ate in.

Some of us walked down to the river while waiting on our food!

That fish was really good=)

Uncle Gary and Aunt Diana

Happy birthday, WILLIAM!

It was a great visit with family!

Frankie woke up with his hair spiked=)

And that concludes part 2!
Part three coming soon=)

The new "sport" around the Feldman home lately has been catching birds! William is laying down, very still, holding a string attached to the door of the cage. They have caught several already! Don't worry, they let them go...=)
