Baby K and his Papa's.

Baby K is rolling over.

We're all sitting around Killian on the floor & he rolled over and we all cheered. Gavin said " Where's his Trophy?". It was that exciting!!!

Oh Boo, I love you.

Gavin came over & wanted to fish so bad but we were out of worms. So we dug in Papa's garden, got some worms, and he caught about a dozen fish on Sun. When we bought that house 16 yrs ago I told Tom it will be a great place for grandkids to visit. And Boo has made us appreciate it even more.
He also saw a spider yesterday in the house and he asked if I had a slapper (a fly swatter).
And he's learning "what words we don't say". We were talking about catching a Big Bass and he asked me "Is it OK if we say BASS?"

The "Boys" this week-end


Boo wanted to go outside, but couldn't find his levi's to put on. So I'm standing in the kitchen and I hear his little voice saying "Mi, Is this a good idea?" And I see him standing with a small towel in place of his jeans. Both boys always keep us smiling.

Boo's Birthday


Last night was Boo's Birthday. We all went to La Frontera for dinner because he wanted rice & beans. Then back to Chelsea & Josh's house so we could watch him get his surprise, a four wheeler from mom and dad. He was so excited. We went in to open more presents & after a couple he announced: "I'm done in here" and headed back outside to ride.

Monsters & Aliens & A Wedding


Saturday Tom and I took Boo to the movies to see Monsters & Aliens. He was so excited to see it. Well it starts off with a girl getting ready for her wedding. Not a little or big boys favorite. During a quiet spot he asks me very loud: " MI, where's all the monsters & aliens?" I think he thought we were in the wrong movie. It did pick up with monsters & aliens, but he ended up falling asleep about an hour into it. It was OK, but I don't want to sit thru it again. Maybe the 3D glasses would've helped. And Gavin did like it, and the popcorn & snacks.

Gavin and his baby ducks which he named Big Kitty & Sally.

Boo brought his baby ducks over to show them where they are going to live when they grow up and can't stay at his house anymore. They had never been swimming before and they loved it.
FOLLOWING BOO WHEREVER HE GOES.

BOO GIVING THE BABIES A QUICK SWIMMING LESSON.
"This is how you do it!"

PAPA BROUGHT OUT THE DOGS WATER TO GIVE THEM A DRINK,AND THEY JUMPED IN.

THEN ON TO THE WATERFALL, WHERE THEY THOUGHT THE WATER WAS COLD,
BUT THEY GOT USED TO IT FAST.

THE HORSE BARN ON SUNDAY

Yesterday we all met at the horse barn to see Clay, Tara & Killian's two baby goats that were born on Wed. They are so cute and pranced around & played. Aunt Tara let Boo name the goats and he chose Bob Bob and Patrick after Sponge Bob ~ his favorite show. The horse barn is one of Gavins very favorite places. Killian slept thru it all. Next year this time that won't be happening!!!

Grammy Wednesday

I had visions of a picture of cute little babies feet in the toddlers hands and what I got was Big babies feet in Gavies hands. I should've tried for this shot about 2.5 months ago!

And ideal day for me, making cookies with Boo and hanging out with him and Baby K. (Oh, and not gaining weight while I ate those cookies, and not worrying about this ecomony would also be nice to add...and hanging out on the beach with Tom & the family wouldn't be bad either)

Gavin found this picture and just loved it, so Clay told him to pose like the doll and we got this pic.

Gavin is so funny and Tom called him a comedian. He said "I'm not a comedian, they're in the pet store and mommy said they're nice and eat crickets". We finally figured out he was thinking of chameleons.

Grandma Joan ~ We'll miss you. Thanks for being such a great Mom!!!


Our loving wife, mother, grandmother & friend passed away Feb. 16th 2009.
Mom was born Jan. 6th, 1938 in Woodbine, KS to Leona &
Ralph Oesterreich. She is survived by her husband of 53 yrs Thomas L McCarty,
sons: Bobby (Cindy), Tommy (Pam), DeWayne, and Shawn (Michelle),
7 Grandchildren, 6 Great Grandchildren & her brother Jack Loy.
She was proceeded in death by her son, Timothy, brother Gene, and parents.
We couldn't have asked for a better mom,
even though raising 4 boys was quite a challenge.
A skunk under a bucket, snakes in the milk box, a burnt down
horsebarn, smoke bombs in the kitchen, and a pigeon in the dryer were all
a normal day in the life of our mom. She was a stay at home mom, an
excellent cook and always there for us.
A celebration of her life will be held at Tate Mortuary 110 S. Main St in Tooele, UT
Fri. Feb. 20th at 11:00 am. A viewing will be held one hour prior to services.
We'll miss you mom. I love you. I love you more.

LOVE THOSE BOYS!


I love this picture Chels took of the boys this week. It is so priceless. They all came over yesterday and we had a great day. Gavin is so observant and I had some potpourri in a pottery bowl. He asked "Where you buy that?". I told him "Pier One Imports", he said, "No, probably P.S. Store". (He calls the NPS Store, P.S.)

The view from both sides of the Door.

Here is a picture of Gavin & Tom looking in the hospital nursery and next to it a picture was taken on the other side of the door with Clay & Killian showing what Gavin was looking in at. Do you think we had enough cameras that day? ha
