2008

Family reunions, get-togethers, etc. in 2008.

Gathering At Mom and Dad's

Pictures of my immediate family taken at Mom and Dad's when Rita dropped off Patrick and Ricky for the summer. Just think, if it wasn't for MamaDoo and PapaDoo, all these people (besides them, of course) wouldn't exist...:)

Get Together As Billi's

Every summer Patrick and Ricky stay with my parents for a couple of months. When it's time to head back to Michigan, Rita drives to Minnesota and we all meet up at Auntie Billi's for some great food! Oh, and being together is fun, too:) Thanks to Billi for being an awesome auntie and letting us use her place and for feeding us:)

A group shot of all the family. I love looking at the big family shots because it's cool to think that everyone in them is in some way connected to one another.

Grandpa Floyd, the Kids and I

Grandpa Floyd, Gabe, Stefani, and Michaela. I'm not sure, but I think Grandpa Floyd is my oldest living relative...someone correct me if I'm wrong, please:)

Hitch Hiker Thumbs

Grandpa Floyd always gets a kick at comparing out thumbs and seeing how they curve. Just a little giggle between he and I:)

Me and Grandpa Floyd

I got up to see my Grandpa Floyd this month. He lives up in Tower, Minnesota, so it's a long drive! He's my paternal grandfather and he's turning 97 this November!

Mickle Family Reunion

Been a few years since we had had one of these, so it was a nice surprise when my cousins Alissa, Tony and his wife Candy planned one. It was held at Tony and Candy's house in Superior, WI. Thank you for all the time and effort you put in to get us all together again:)
