Thanksgiving 2009/2010

Group Photo Thanksgiving 2010

 

It's Sarah again. This Thanksgiving our family went up to Greensboro, NC to see my dad's side of the family. I thought I could mix this year's and last year's pictures together in one post. Above: This year's family picture. If you want some more detail of our trip Caroline put some stories on her blog. 

William and Nate's Domino Tower.

Last year William and my second cousin's fiance, Nate, built a domino tower 14 (I think) stories high. At one point William almost knocked it over getting another domino:) When everybody saw that William was about to knock it over they all gasped:)

Group Photo Thanksgiving 2009

This was the WHOLE group photo taken after Thanksgiving. We had about 25-30 people there:) We have a BIG family!!

 This is Ivy at Thanksgiving 2010 and below is Ivy 2009. Big difference.

Katy Murchison (my dad's sister) was pregnant with little Ivy last year. Her husband Fred is standing is the back of the picture below. 

Merry Christmas,

Dallas Trip August 2010

 Hey, Sarah again. I was going through our pictures and found these of when William, Winston, and my mom went to Dallas, TX. They went and saw my Grandmother and my mom's aunt and uncle.

This is my mom's Aunt Charlotte and Uncle Van and of course William

 We have been debating over whether or not we should cut the curls off. You can't really see them her but they are there:) My dad thinks we should cut them off but the rest of the family likes them. We went to Greensboro, NC for Thanksgiving and everyone but my dad's mom said that we should not cut them. So I guess it just runs in my dad's family that they don't like curls:)

Until next time folks,

Sarah Gray

One Way to Fatten The Boy Up!!!!

 Hey fellow blog friends, it's Sarah again. The other day we were eating homemade sourdough bread from Uncle Craig, and Winston like the butter ALOT. As you can see here he is eating it with a spoon. :)

~SARAH~

I love his smile

Yummy butter:)

Visit with Uncle Craig

HEY Y'ALL, IT'S SARAH. ON MONDAY MY MOM'S BROTHER, CRAIG, CAME FROM CALIFORNIA FOR A MEETING AND WE ( ALL OF OUR FAMILY EXCEPT MY DAD) WENT OUT FOR DINNER AND TOOK HIM TO HIS HOTEL.

~SARAH~

ALOT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT WILLIAM AND CRAIG LOOK ALIKE.

IT THINK THIS IS THE CUTEST PICTURE!!!!!

Such a Sweet Boy!!!

Hey it's Sarah. 

Caroline took these pictures a few days ago. I LOVE this second picture.

Our Grandfather got William this San Francisco Giants after they won the World Series 2010.

Caroline and I really liked the hat so he got us girls one to share. So we have two hats for all 4 of us kids to share.

Not quite what we had in mind

We knew going into the building process that we would find some frustrations and difficulties along the way.  But we were surprised when our hangar door turned out to be one of them!! 

For 2 precision-oriented people, the arrangement of panels just isn't going to work.  The 2 small panels on the right will drive me crazy, and Spence is upset over the center line of the doors not meeting up with the center of the hangar.

It will be interesting to see how this one gets resolved.

Continued Post!!

Hey, Sarah again. This post is the 2nd part of  'Veterans Day 2010'. Sorry for that, but I don't know what was the matter with it. Maybe it was our computer or just Blogger.

In the last picture of that post. There is a blue Stearman with Yellow wings (2nd from the left).  It was the FIRST Stearman that the Army Air Corp bought from Boeing to use as a trainer!!  Pretty cool!  The museum founder owns it - along with about 4 more really cool planes including a DC 3!  Here is a link to Wikipedia's article on Stearmans. The website for the airpark has some pictures from Veteran' Day if you scroll down on the website. If you go all the way to the bottom there is a picture of the Black- Hawk and in the backround you can see a blue and silver plane. That plane is the museum founders DC-3 (mentioned above).
