Bella, Axel & Mia Celebrate at Trampoline Park

Saturday, September 23 – All of Cim and Courtney’s kids have September birthdays. It’s always fun to see what theme of party they will have. This year we got to watch them have fun at Altitude Trampoline. They jumped and ran and swung and then jumped some more. Courtney made a really cute cake that had a dinosaur and two mermaids on it. Afterwards we all went to eat out. To see all the antics for yourself, check out the video here.

Thanksgiving 2022

Thursday, November 24 –

Lots of food (esp. desserts) and lots of fun was had at Laredo & Andrea’s house at Afton. The weather wasn’t very nice but it was cozy inside by the woodstove.

Chocolate pies
Homemade pizza

We had an Italian theme this year. Lazagne and gnocci with sausage, homemade pizza, yummy sour dough rolls, ham and salad. Plus 8 pies and two cobblers! So no one went home hungry.

Time for pie!
So many choices…

Ranch Daredevils

Saturday, October 24 –

Bella, Axel and Mia came to the Ranch today. The kids always have a lot of fun. This visit, I had something new for them to try. I picked up a couple of little “Velo” bikes made for toddlers. They don’t have pedals, but they do teach kids to balance on a bike.

We found the nearest place on the road that had a little hill and they started trying to figure out how to glide down the hill on the bikes. Axel thought it was more fun to try and crash his bike in ever new and creative ways. I started calling him Evel Knievel. They wanted to know who that was so I told them all about the famous daredevil from years past. Not to be outdone, Bella informed us that she also had a new moniker, “Abel Kenobi”!

Celebrating Callahan’s Birthday

What luck! We got to help celebrate Callahan’s 2nd birthday!

Uncle Cim gets his first time holding Magnus.

All kids like helping clean up, especially Bella.

After cleanup we had an impromptu photo shoot with the kids. We wanted pictures of Magnus while he was still tiny.

Enjoy this slideshow made up of more cute shots of Callahan’s first year!

Newest Grandbaby – Axel Wayne Shannon

Wednesday, September 20 –

Cimarron and Courtney have a second child, a son this time. Finally, after taking his sweet time, Axel made his appearance at 9:40 pm on Tuesday, September 19, 11 days late. But as you can see from the pictures, he was definitely worth the wait. What a sweet little man! He weighed 8 lbs. and 1/2 oz. and was 20″ long. He was born at a natural birthing center in Midland.

We got to go see him the next day.
