Happy Birthday to Courtney and Chris!

Yep march is a double birthday month for the Spiker's! Court turned 24 and Chris turned 28!I really don't understand how this happened since they were just born... They are two of the best kids anyone could hope for! Both funny, smart, feisty, opinionated (no, what???) hard workers, good people, willing to help others, responsible, good spouses, good children, siblings and grandchildren! We sure love them both and appreciate all they contribute to our little family!

Grand Baby News

So I think I am going to need to buy these. Notice they are pink...

Afternoon walk around the lake

This is what you can expect to see on an afternoon walk behind my house. Click to enlarge.

Check out these two white birds. They just sit waiting for fish to swim between the rocks and then .... Bam! They eat them. Notice the baby turtle basking on the rock!

Yeah... so you can call me Grandma!

Courtney and Josh are expecting a baby! We are all so excited! They had their first doctor appointment today. The heartbeat was strong and the baby was flipping and moving it's arms and legs! Baby Alvord is due September 21, 2010 and the timing couldn't be more perfect since we will be empty nesters shortly thereafter! What a great distraction for me! Congrats to Court and Josh but mostly congratulations to Grandma Linda and Grandpa Steve and Grandma Bonnie and Grandpa Sam... cause it's all about the grandparents! Yay us!
