Another shot at this blogging "stuff"!

It finally happened!  A new family photo.  We have not had one taken for literally several years.  We, thanks to my beautiful wife, finally got the family together and made it happen.  I, as usual, was not real "pleasant" during the photo experience.  I need to be more patient during photo shots. :)

Frankly, it has been several months since posting anything here and I just wanted to get a picture, relatively recent picture, up.  I am not sure this is even the best photo that was taken.  In fact I am sure it probably isn't.  We finally took the picture that was years overdue, but now we have had several photos on the computer that we still have not gone through.  I am hoping to transfer them all to Karen's computer today so that she can review them and find that best ones.

I am very blessed.  I want to take a few minutes today and just let everyone out there know that I am truly a very lucky and blessed man.  I have the greatest family a man could have.  I am so thankful have each and everyone of these people in my mind.  

Grandchildren

I specifically want to tell each and everyone of my grandchildren how proud I am of them and how much I love them.  It is hard to believe that our oldest two, Brooklyn and Trey have graduated high school.  Brooklyn is taking classes at Mesa Community College and Trey left a little over a month ago on a mission to Chile.  The list below includes the names of the greatest grandkids in the world and the most incredible individuals I have the blessing of knowing and calling family.

  • Brooklyn Smith             
  • Trey Cutchen
  • Tori Cutchen
  • Ashley Cutchen
  • Tate Cummard
  • Avery Randall
  • Trevor Cutchen
  • Finley Randall
  • Tylee Cummard
  • Hailey Cutchen
  • Tyson Cutchen
  • Kalley Cutchen
  • Carson Randall
  • Tatum Cutchen
  • Molly Randall
  • Briley Cutchen
  • Grady Cummard
  • Colt Cutchen
They are so much fun!  We are very fortunate, in that they all live very close.  Karen and I feel very blessed to have had each of our children find spouses who grew up here in the area.  I do not know of too many, or any, off the top of my head,  grandparents who can say all of their grandchildren live within 10 to 15 miles of them.  

Well, I just wanted to try to see if I could post something on this "Blog", if that is what this is. lol I am actually going to try to post here on a more regular basis. We shall see.  Brooklyn, Trey, Tori, Ashley, Tate, Avery, Trevor, Finley, Tylee, Hailey, Tyson, Kalley, Carson, Tatum, Molly, Bailey, Grady & Colt, your grandma and grandpa love you very much!

10 Years Later

As is painfully obvious, I do not know what I am doing.  I was just screwing around on the computer and found this "Blog" or whatever it is.  Way back when, like 2008, Laura started it for Karen and I. Not sure why I am really even typing this. I guess I am just curious to see if it is still active, or whatever.

I am going to try to include a picture just to see if I can.



Wow, look at that, it worked.  I know this is a crappy photo with the buildings needing to be cropped out, but this was Rocky Point for New Years 2018.  I guess I am not going to see if I can learn how to crop photos.

Sorry for the rambling. I am not sure who really has access to this. I am hoping just family members, but I guess I am going to find out.

Mike out, until another 10 years.
