Amy put these pictures together for me. I just love them and wanted to share them with everyone. Don't they tell a great story and show his personality. He's awesome.

Especially For Mom

I love this photo of mom and Levi. I just had to share it with her and all of you.

Aquarium And Titanic

O.K. we couldn't let all you young cousins have all the fun. So, Charlie took last Monday off and some of us older folks took our turn. Yes we took Moo with us. She finally rolled up her sleeves and dived in to feel the rays and sharks. We couldn't get her to have her picture with the orange fish, she thought that would probably be a bit embarrassing. Amy, I'm sure you would have found a way to get it done anyway. We had such a great time and we were able to tour the Titanic exhibit also.

Being a Gramma

I love being a Gramma. There is a very special joy that comes with being able to share in Levi's life. He is only four months old and I can't believe I can love someone other than my own children with so much passion. It's not just his smile that melts my heart but the pouts and cries and just the way he sleeps. I love it all. Thanks Jill and Arron for giving me such a very special gift.

I Love you all.

Earthen Vessel and Ivan Parker

Charlie and I traveled to Shiloh Baptist in Newborn Saturday to listen to Earthen Vessels and Ivan Parker in concert. We had a wonderful time in worship and fellowship. Yes that's the Compton Girls, known as Earthen Vessels. Thanks Tony and Linda for a great time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR REBECCA, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!

Alaska 2008

Well as promised... I am reporting on our super great trip to Alaska. We truly had a wonderfully great time and it was made better by those we got to share it with. Everyone of us was truly amazed by our adventure.



The animals were truly outrageous. The reindeer and musk ox were at a farm. The grizzly and gray fox which I don't have a picture of on here we saw at Denahli National park while riding on a bus 66 mile to look for animals. We saw 14 bears and 11 moose that day. IT WAS GREAT!!! The black bear we saw in Valdez, where the salmon run. He was literally on the side of the road in the creek bed. It was awesome, so we stayed for a while and just watched, couldn't believe we were actually that close and weren't being attacked.

The scenery...that can only speak for itself, and of course the pictures do not do it justice. The rainbow was amazing. As we were leaving Denahli park it was raining a little and it stopped the sun tried to break through and we actually saw the rainbow form from one side to the other. It had the most vibrant colors I have ever seen and it looked like it might have had more than the original 7. It was the absolute best ending of an already spectacular day. Isn't God WONDERFUL!!!

All the flowers were so colorful. Lots of oranges and just gorgeous. We couldn't get over how big they grew either. Because of the extra sunlight and lots of water. Flowers were everywhere and we have lots more picture, ask to see themwhen you are around.

And of course any time you go off with a group of people, strange and unusal things happen. There was no way to get pictures of all of us snoring (yes, Moo too) except Gene and Mike of course. But here are a few picture I thought you would enjoy.

As in any trip some things are better told in person so when you come to visit ask us and we will pullout the other 126 pictures of all the animals, and scenery and all the other what not pictures that we took.

Can't wait for the next adventure. Who knows?. . .you may be a part of it.
