We gave Janis a red crystal martini pitcher. Two of her loves rolled into one - red and crystal, did you think I was going to say drinking?

Clint loves to go to the Jackson's deer hunting. He gets a nice buck everytime, this one killed on New Year's Day. This is a 6 point. We made smoked link sausage.

Christmas 2004....we gave him a sweater and he didn't show any appreciation for the gift. In fact, he showed us all of his teeth when we tried to put it on him.

Bart thinks he owns the front door rug, can't even move as we bring in groceries.

View of the resort from our patio.

Path down to the beach. All of the flowers were very pretty. This hedge had bouganvilla growing in it.

Our room at the Riu.
Pirates ship that we passed as we left for our snorkeling trip.
Snorkeling in Banderas Bay.
We stopped and swam at this beach. The water was still pretty chilly in March.
Fountain at the resort. Beautiful gazebo in the center with angels.
Jakki standing in the gazebo.
Grass huts to relax under.
Me and a palm tree. The pavilion were we ate most of our meals. It overlooked the beach.
Jakki wading on the beach. The sand was very fine with gold flakes.
Me wading.
This guy came right up to us as he parasurfed (flirting with Jakki.) It was neat to watch. He was very talented.

J.J. and Sharon both caught trophy King Salmon on the Kenai river. I think Alan and David where eating vienna sausage and crackers.

Me and the Carrollton boys! Alan said they were light in the loafers.
View from our Homer accommodations.
Post Panama outing, rafting the river. Darn this gear is hot!
Hollywood and our Talkeetna catch...a nice bunch of Sockeye
Alan looks good in this picture, a few seconds later he fell off the rock. He said that melted ice is cold!
David is looking and looking for fish. He doesn't even see Alan's catch under his feet. I was the first to limit so I took on the photography duty. I didn't think David would ever catch that last fish.
Stream flowing into Talkeetna River.
Hollywood helped Janis across the stream. As water flowed into the top of her waders, the guide told her to stand on her tippy toes. She told him that she was!

Mason at Marshall's 13th birthday party - about 1.5 months

Grandpa with Mason at 2 weeks. They both look tired.

Kerry said "I decided to get the exersaucer out early because Mason really likes to be up. He is still a little wobbly but can stay in it a while if I put a blanket in front of him. Here he is having a conversation with the giraffe. Lane doesn't seem to mind the new toy either. Mason also really likes the toys on his bouncy seat and has discovered he can kick them. He is a really happy, playful baby!"

10 weeks old!

Mason is really talking and smiling a lot now. He loves his bath!

Mason's mom couldn't pass up these photos! Mason is 2 months old.

Mason had his 2 month checkup. He was 13 lbs. 11 oz. and 23 inches long. The doctor said everything looks great. He is in the 95th percentile in weight.
9 weeks old!

Mason with his big brother, Lane. Mason is 8 weeks old.

Memorial Weekend 2006

2006-07-06T08:44:00.000-07:00

At the end of a long day of swimming, the best thing to do is rest in the shade with Grandpa.

Mason must be thinking "NRH2O Water Park is much cooler than the Fort Worth Zoo!" We will have to take him again! He had a blast.

Lane goes for a ride on an alligator. Where are Marshall and Dylan? Must be in the wave pool.

It took Lane just a minute to warm up to the idea of these water slides. Before the day was over, he and Mom rode the BIG SLIDES!

Mason and Mom take a ride on the slide. Mason looks a little unsure. But, all is well when with Mom.

John and Lane riding the carousel.

Lane on the Komodo Dragon, resting halfway through the Zoo.

This lion was pretty docile when we first sat down to eat our icee. Then he started to put on a show. He walked from his shaded area, took his stance and started to roar. And he roared load, so Mason roared with him.

Siberian Tiger - he was a beautiful animal. Kerry said it was her favorite.

Baby Giraffe

Mason paid close attention to his surroundings. He seemed to enjoy the Zoo.

Lane riding on Grandpa's shoulders as they look for Flamingos and Dinoroars.

John, Dylan & Marshall outside of Cabela's. Lane and Marshall purchased water shooters and Dylan bought a great big knife!
Mason riding the carousel with a little bit of help from Mom.
Lane is really impressed with the sea otter.

Peyton with his Mom and Dad! Peyton was born at 10:30 a.m on July 1, 2006. He weighed 8 lbs. 3 ozs and was 21 1/2 inches long.
Grandpa holding Peyton. He is pleased to have such a fine boy to carry on the Colley name.
Dad with his new son. Peyton has his dimples and ears! Dad is very protective and will make a very good father.

Peyton is ready to go home. Wait till he sees what a special room they have made for him. Dad painted the walls blue and Mom picked out a cute nursery set with frogs.

We stayed here after dropping the Isbells at the airport.
Flowers at Flying Moose. All of them are so bright, no fading from the sun.
Flowers and Berries at the Palmer Vistor Information Center.

Janis and David standing where Alan and I married 8 years earlier. Janis tried to take our picture but cut our heads off, one of the downfalls of being under five feet tall.

When we left Palmer, we headed through a pass to Talkeetna. We came across this beautiful river.

Just as we are entering the pass.
