Greetings fellow travelers. I know, its been quite a spell without any interacting. Well, its not for a lack of dull boring sitting around. Just the opposite actually. Busy, busy, busy, (as Jules' mom always said).
We have had numerous events happen and some I actually attended. I just haven't sat down to blog about them. Mostly though because Norm hogs the computer.
Here we go. BABIES!!
We have had a couple...
 |
| Duncan Roger - (His first thought) What have I gotten myself into? |
Duncan joined the clan in 2015. He is Norm's Godchild too. I think Joni did that so Norm would get his stuff together and get healthy.
Dunk really likes hanging out at Aluminum Acres. This is a picture that has inspired an annual re-creation.
Dunk is a true pirate. Often seen with a sword (pronounce SWord I was told).
Brock, Heath and Duncan taking no prisoners at Norm's (G's) 60th birthday shindig.
Arrr matey. Seen any scallywags about?
 |
| Duncan and his mom (Joni) |
As a pirate, Dunk has a favorite spot.
Anywhere that has WATER!
Yes, the boys have grown A LOT! Norm tends to spend more time with the boys and I usually sit on the side and watch. Rotten boys!
You would think that having three grandsons would be sufficient in creating as much fun as a family can handle, right? Nope, not this family.
During a stress filled day in October 2017...
Yes, a maternity ward.
A new member was introduced.
Named after her grandmothers, meet Julia Louise.
That's right, JULIA!
As in MY Jules! Well, Norm's Jules, but that is only temporary.
KC and Kyle decided that adding a baby girl would be a fun way of mixing things up.
 |
| Baby Jules and her mom (Kate) |
They grow so fast.... (When I don't update frequently because of a computer hog.)
No, Norm isn't smitten at all.
I see my chance at winning Jules over, now that Norm is distracted with Baby Jules.
Baby Jules loves camping already.
And, she is very handy helping out her Dad in the garage.
Especially when she gets to work on Casper for Amma and G.
There are rumors that 2020 will be a very busy year for our clan.
I always thought you just waited until the hatch day to find out.
KC (aka Kate) and her new headband. Pink!
A baby girl!
They are pretty good at making girl babies!
Now Baby Jules will have a little sister to tease. I mean love.
We had a wedding too!
Yep, Norm 3 tied the knot. That is the lovely Wendy with Norm 3, I used to call her Miss Wendy, but that changed when they said I do.
The whole clan in one spot. We clean up pretty good too.
Just so you KNOW that I actually attended the nuptials.
I also was invited back to Norm 3 and Wendy's house for the reception. They had a small gathering for their wedding.
Of course Norm (2) started making wisecracks because I said small. What a jerk.
They even have a pool table in their living room. If you're thinking that was a bachelor thing that will probably change, you don't know this crazy couple.
I had to show Heath a few trick shots.
Dunk is quite a bit bigger now.
Baby Jules too.
The desserts were out of this world. I know, I've been there and back.
PHOTO BOMB!!
I love her.
This is EVERYONE that was at the wedding. I told you it was a small wedding.
They contemplated eloping. Yeah, that wouldn't work with this group. This is Norm 3 and Wendy eloping, with their entourage.
Meet Wendy. The newest member of this crazy clan.
I was surprised that she actually wanted to join. But I'm real happy that she did!
Is an odd duck, a strange bird?
Ka Kaawww
Ahh, thanks Jason! I needed that.
Some folks were brave enough to pose with me.
April is a lot of fun. I can't believe I haven't met her before the wedding.
April is also trying to get Norm and Jules to buy her Memaw's house. I haven't seen it yet. Probably because Memaw hasn't decided to sell it yet.
April fits right in with this clan.
Is there a new way to have a wedding reception that I didn't get a memo about? Gender reveal!!!

One happy man there!
A new Dad to be.
As you can see...
Norm IV is on the way.
(The pink smoke that you see in the video is actually white tire smoke and red tail lights. No actual pink powder was harmed making the videos.)
Oh yeah. Nice burn out.
Someone is going to need a new tire.
Just sayin'
So, If you are keeping score...
Two more babies heading our way, making a grand total of SIX grandbabies for Jules and Norm.
Its a good thing we like grandbabies.
