Family...

My son and his family stopped by to say Happy Easter.  Kellan is getting so big.  He is starting to walk already. 

My brother is the grill master in the family.  I had to have a picture of him doing his thing. 

Washington DC

One of the things on my "50 by 50" List was to go to Washington DC during the annual National Cherry  Blossom Festival".  I was able to go there over April 1 weekend with my grandchildren and my daughter-in-law.  This picture was taken by my granddaughter as we were leaving to head back to the hotel for the night.  We were too beat (Ok, exhausted) to stay for the fireworks.  It was pretty cold and windy once the sun went down. 

The White House....

The Cherry Blossom Trees were so beautiful.

The Capital Building.....

2009

Here is a picture of Tony & Aaron taken Christmas 2009 with my brother Chuck.  Both of my sons are Dallas Cowboys fans.... so is their dad.  Go STEELERS!!

Easter 1999

What a great picture of my two boys.  This was Easter 1999, Tony would be 18 and Aaron would be 15.  Tony is holding Alizia, my first granddaughter who was born in 1998.  This was taken at the house on Mound St.

This picture was taken at Alizia's first birthday party in May 1999.  Again, Tony is 18.  This was taken at Grandma Barb's house.

1993

This picture was taken at the church - Westside Assembly of God in Newark in August 1993.  Tony is 12 and Aaron is 9.

April 1992

This picture was taken in April of 92.  Tony would have just turned 11 and Aaron would have just turned 8.

Hidden Lakes Campground (1990)

This picture was taken at Hidden Lakes Campground.  Tony's stepfather's family had a campsite and we went quite often for the weekends.  Their campsite was right on the lake, and this pool was on the other side of the lake. 

Tony is on the left and Aaron is on the right.  Brandon (their stepbrother) is the little one in front.  As best I can guess, this picture was probably taken around 1990.

1985

Another Olan Mills portrait.  Tony is 4 and Aaron is 1.

Four years old

About 6 months after Justin's death, I found out that I was pregnant again.  Aaron was born in April 1984.  That was the month that we bought the big old yellow house right next door to my mother.  We took a section of the fence out so that the boys could go out my back door and walk through the yard over to grandma's back door!  It was great!

Anthony Kevin

This month my oldest son will turn 30.  My pictures this month will be of him.  Here is a picture taken at Olan Mills in 1985.  This was taken just a few months before his 5th birthday.  His brother Aaron is almost 2 in this picture, as their birthdays are only 3 weeks apart.  (I still insist that I am just not old enough to have a 30-year old child!)
