I LOVED IT!

 Abby and her horse

 Cannon among all the bubbles

 Shepherds rented a inflated slide

and jumping area for the

children...They had a GREAT time

on this thing...

Needed to drink more in Florida!

 Notice the looks on Father and Son

in this picture...

A captured moment...for sure...

 James found a truck!

 Emma enjoyed this makeshift

swing in the kitchen

for the young ones...

Wish I could have fitted in it...

Looked fun!

Part 12 - Smith/Shepherd Gathering

I have a few pictures that were just 

little moments...when our

family...gathered to

talk to one

another...

 

Part 11 - Smith/Shepherd Gathering

Timothy's "4th" Birthday Party! 

smile

One of the sad things for me...is not to be able to 

 celebrate IN PERSON... all my grandchildren's

birthdays...But, we had an opportunity...

to do so...and Timothy was the 

chosen one...smile

The pictures I got of him...shows his 

darling character...what a HOOT!

 I believe the Shepherds made sure Timothy had this cake...

SO GOOD! I LOVE CAKE!

 

 Such anticipation...while lighting his "4" candles...

 Terri...as always...always taking CARE of everyone...

 Love how the other siblings are anxiously waiting, also...

smile

 Esther...not yet ready to celebrate...smile

 Already to BLOW!

 Not too much spit...smile

 Love Timothy's little face...

 Little children...are so precious...How they LOVE the moment!

 Our little cutie!

 LOVE THIS ONE!

 I wonder who got the most in Renee's bowl...Renee or

Brenda's little girl...smile 

 

 Finally...smile

SIESTA TIME! 

smile

Our family can sleep anywhere...anytime...

smile

 Our Little Rose

 Love how Mama and Baby just blend together...

 Cracked me up...Josh is ASLEEP with his phone in hand...

 All you could see was Esther's little foot...as she slept...

 Nothing unusual here...smile 

 Timothy...is simply tuckered out! smile

 Just the beginning of being "tired" ... 

once... again...smile
