Scott is now the Birthday Boy

As I said, we have many birthdays in March.  Duane's son Scott has a birthday coming up in about 10 days.  We see Scott on a regular basis when he comes for dinner after work on Tuesdays.  We always have a great time even if we decide to watch the amazing and frightening Christopher Dorner chase.

 

Father and son always have a lot of laughs.

 

 

I met Scott and his wife Kim in the year 2000.  We were so happy that they were able to celebrate our wedding with us. 

 

 

Scott's brother Pete came by one evening, and the boys had a roaring good time doing the "bump".

 

 

Duane always loves to give Scott some shooting lessons. 

 

 

We love having the gang over for Memorial Day or 4th of July.  Scott always makes it a little more fun.

 

 

One thing that is so special, however, is the bond between Scott and his Dad.

 

 

 

 

 

What a Guy!

We have so many birthdays in March, that it seems we are always celebrating.  I did a blog on Heather, then Reese, but there's another very important birthday!!!!!!!

                         My Guy, Duane-------also affectionately known as Shelley, Duano or Butch.

 

When we got together in the year 2000, I had the pleasure of meeting his two sons, Pete and Scott.  Guess when their birthdays are???  March 11th and March 26th.  Duane says he planned it that way.

 

 

The first formal occasion we attended together was Heather's wedding.  We had just gotten engaged and were destined to marry three months later.

 

 

It seemed that after Heather's wedding, we attended so many more.  Here we are in  Belize for Adam's wedding.  I feel so blessed.

 

 

We've had such a good time together.  Here he is in Sheboygan Falls, WI, his birthplace, where we vacationed one year.  He's reliving one of his boyhood pastimes.

 

 

I'm so happy that you are mine, you handsome devil!

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Reese!

My precious grandson will be 4 years old on March 11th.  Gee, grandkids sure grow fast!

 

Reese has always loved hats.  This picture shows how comical he can be too.

 

 

It has always been difficult to take a picture of him, but once in awhile we get lucky.

 

 

It helps to have some candy ready.

 

 

Like all of the Garcias, he loves the water.

 

 

Elmo is a big favorite with Reese, as he is with all children.

 

 

I was trying, somewhat unsuccessfully to have Maddie help with the picture taking.

 

 

Heather got this truck at Reese's baby shower, and he discovered that it was great to ride on.

 

 

Such a beautiful family------Happy Birthday Reese!
