LOCOMOTION WITH UNCLE KEVIN...

Justin and Josh wanted

to take "Uncle Kevin"
to their favorite place,

LOCOMOTION
while he was here

from California.
As you can see they

all had a great time on
the Go-Karts and having

the water fight.

Suzy said she had fun just taking the pictures...

WOULD HAVE BEEN...

Today would have been my Dad's

93rd Birthday...

He was such a fun loving "Daddy".

It still makes me cry sometimes

when I think of him, even after all

this time.

He'll still be my "Daddy" no matter how old I get......

Baby is Here!

After around 37 hours of
labor, our grand daughter,
Maycee gave birth to her
and Jon's son
(our Great Grand Son)
at 9:48 P.M. on 10/04/08.
Keeyan Jon Patrick
weight 8 lbs 12 oz
and is 21 1/2".
God Bless you Maycee
and Jon. Give him a
big hug for both of
us "Grandma Shari".
Love to all of you!

MORE SCRAPN....

Been down in my back all
week but at least I can
sit in my chair and
scrap. Also got a call
last night and Maycee
went to the hospital to
have her baby. Should
hear more from them
some time today......

GETTING READY!

Yes, the whole family is "getting ready" for Maycee and Jon to have their baby. Maycee is our beautiful grand daughter and "getting ready" to give birth to our great grandson. WOW! She is due in (I'm guessing) around Oct 13th - 15th. He is going to be one great little boy...because he will be surrounded with lots of LOVE from the Benson's next door (Maycee's wonderful family) and from all the rest of her family who already love him and haven't yet met him....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SISTER...

HOPPER HERITAGE

I did manage to do something yesterday. I finished these "scrapN" pages of my Great Grandparents. Also finished the pictures for my brother's heritage book. The one that I am working on for his birthday. All I have to do now is the "writing" that's the hard part!

GREAT GREAT GRANDPARENTS

DAILY GOIN-ON'S

Outside front door: Laughing kids running down the street...neighbor running his mower (come on over here...please)...birds singing...dogs barking at the mower.

Living Room: Clock chiming...cat sleeping in my spot on the couch...me at my computer station...fan squeaking.

Kitchen: Hubby reading at the kitchen table...Hubby watching a pot of beans cook...Sam cat trying to get Hubby's chair when he gets up to check on the beans...(then the fight is on...had two so far).

Scrap Corner: Scrapbook waiting for me to quit blogging and start scraping.

Paint Corner: Painting I started two weeks ago drying out and wanting me to finish it (maybe next week).

Me: Kinda board...have lots to do but just don't want to get up and do it! Know what I mean???

HOPPER HERITAGE

As you can tell, I've been digging into my "Hopper" genealogy albums again. I am making an album for my brother's birthday at the end of October. This first page is a picture of my grandpa's brother, Thomas (Tom) Bradford Hopper and his son , Oval Thorton Hopper (Pete). This was taken in the late 1930's or early 40's near Pineville, Missouri.

The next picture is of another brother of my grandpa's, Meredith Newton Hopper. Family of Meredith and Ora Evans Hopper - Lawson, Glen, Farris, Edith, Meredith, Jennie, Ora, Hazel, Cleo, Ruth and Clara. I was told this was taken around 1940 and probably at Needmore, Oklahoma.

All this was told to me by family, if any of you can correct this please do so. I can use all the help I can get. ;-)

Love to Bree....

Our Love and our prayers are

with you tomorrow when you

go into the hospital. Just know

Grampa and I love you and will

be thinking of you. XOXOXOX

Josh, turning "16"

House is Real Quite!

Suzy and Brian got home from California yesterday. They went to Avila Beach to
renew their vows for their tenth anniversary. Josh is back at home and Grammie
and Papa's house is all quite....(real quite). As you get older you forget how
busy life is with a teenager. He did keep us hopping but in a good way. We took
Josh and his brother, Justin, out to dinner on Josh's birthday. He didn't want anyone
singing to him at the restaurant....so of course we took care of that..hehehehehe
