What a handsome family you have! You and Mike make a great couple, too. Thanks for sharing--love putting names with faces.

BTW, my DH asked where the picture was taken. He saw the American flags behind you. And, I just noticed that you're wearing the Chicken Sweatshirt I made!

We always have our family Christmas party at the American Legion Hall in Missouri Valley, Iowa. We also had our wedding reception there, in 1971!

How do ya like that sweatshirt ... perfect, huh! The family all had to ask about it! I got several cool "chickeny," gifts!

For some reason my hubby says he's trading me in after 5 years (we're approaching 4 together) not sure when or where he hatched this idea, and 100% sure he's joking, just seems like I might have heard it before now

Nice family ya got there! and Yes I like your new 'do!

Thank you, all.

Sure you could do it, evonne! We had the first 3 boys in 4 years. I remember it as some of the best memories ever! I was too young (and stupid) to realize how much hard work that was! LOL

Marvelous family. Your's must be a great American story.

I must ask, the folded flags in the first photo behind your family, what are they?

They are the flags given to veterans, at their funerals. These, from Harrison County, Iowa. They are kept here at the Legion Hall, in Mo. Valley, Iowa. Each has the veterans name and dates on it.
