My first demo Album

These sixteen songs (actually fifteen - one is repeated in a different format) are among my first ever written (not all). I have written or arranged hundreds since this time. These songs were arranged about 1994 on what was then the state of the art keyboard. It now sounds, in comparison to todays standards, like a tinker toy. I also only had one shot at recording because my funds were short. So if there were pitch problems etc. it was just too bad! There are a lot of things I would do differently, but this is what I have. There is a story behind each song. Many of these are kids songs, and sound a little cheesy. Many of them are love songs, and also sound a little cheesy. Some of them are based on my deepest love for God and my relationship to Him. They may not be the best vocals, music, or accompaniment, but they are all heart felt. I hope you can enjoy them for what they are in spite of the limitations musically. If anyone wants a CD (chuckle) - e-mail me!

Mother's Day



Holly hosted a mother's day celebration last Sunday. It was fun to have so many of us there.

We also got to see Christy and Macy a little later..








So, here are my Grandshildren: Macy (Who found my hair to be quite tasty),










Isobelle (who had a hard time staying awake for any of it),




















Carter (quite a personality, see his determination),



















Morgan (gorgeous as ever),













Justice (always a smile and loving disposition),















Joshua (look at that character, he cracks me up),















and TJ ( He was giving me a hard time, I had to take about 20 pictures of him cause he wouldn't let me take a "real" picture without his hiding behind his hat)

And my kids and spouses, Jason (he's always pulling a face too, so I had to keep taking his picture - yeah! that's where TJ got it. and Kristine . . .
















Jamie and Matt (Fat, as Jamie always calls him)


















Becca took Holly, Jamie and I out to dinner and a play on Friday. That was so fun. So we decided we needed a photo to celebrate just the Girls - mothers or future mothers - Hey -where was Kristine? How did she get out of this one? Sneaky little thing!










Ammon - (my baby)















My Jonathan, aka Jonny Jon, Jonny Run, Jonny Big, Jonny Snow, Jonny Bear, Jonny . . .
















Becca and Holly





















Jeremy














And - Congratulations are in order for two more wonderful moms - Happy mother's day to you Holly (being loved by her husband, Matt. They are expecting a baby in November) . . .













And Kristine, who is also expecting a baby (they just found out so sometime next year). This baby was quite unexpected, they tell me, but Jason says, "I guess the Lord blessed me with more money (he got an unexpected significant raise at work too) and baby to go along with my raise!" Doesn't she have a glow! I think so.













Mother's Day was wonderful - Thanks so much! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU ALL!
