Another Granddog

Here's another granddog!

Monika and Michael's baby girl....Daisy!

Isn't she cute?

Monika and Michael

Well, it's been almost three years, but we are very proud of Monika and Michael for getting married in the right place! Our little family is now 6, and counting (hopefully) :)

Dad loves being a grandpa!

Dad has taught Lucky a new trick...drinking out of glasses! SPOILED!

Dedicated To Grandpa Hall (his birthday is Aug. 31st)

Dad

My Dad was a true cowboy.

He had Sambo, his horse, his favorite toy.

Had had a tractor and his fields he would plow,

Getting up early for chores and milking the cow.

He had barns, corrals, and fences to mend,

But his standards and morals he would never bend.

He loved to hoe weeds and irrigate.

Make water run uphill and build the best gate.

Took pride in how things would look

At night he would always read some book.

Drove cows, tractors, and trucks with trailers.

Worked the fields, combining, plowing and using hay bailers.

Rode horses and punched cows, never riding a bull.

Only to say that bull riding was for a fool.

Raised our own meat, milk, eggs, and crops.

Even had dogs and pigs for pork chops.

He could brand calves, make a loop and rope.

He never would from anyone take any dope.

He was a man, rancher, father and preacher,

That man I call dad was even the best school teacher.

Tired to teach me all he knew when I was a lad.

Don't think I'll ever fill his shoes, My Wonderful Dad.

-Donald Hall

Dad's Poetry (We love Potty Humor)

The Throne

Here I sit on my throne thinking of all my glory.
Trying to make up another tall tale, another story.
Is this throne made of porcelain or stone?
Either way, it's chilling my butt bone.
I think of others having sat here too
All just thinking of things they need to do.
I write, push a little, push more and read.
Hoping that this ordeal will end, yes indeed.
How much toilet paper do you use?
Is it enough or small enough to make a fire cracker fuse?
Me, I use enough to make a pillow.
I've even had to use the bark of a willow.
Do you give others a relief flush?
Me, I don't. I just let the stink build up and make everyone blush.
Do you read the newspaper and then use it?
I have. When there is no tissue on the roll except for a little bit.
Well here's to you my glory seat.
One last flush until other time when we meet.

Taking a Nap

Here is Michelle's new baby taking a nap on his first day at our house. Donald and Debbi are proud of their newest granddog.

Mom and Dad's Baby

Shelby! Mom and Dad's Baby!!

Lucky!!

So, Michelle's officially a mommy! She now has provided mom and dad a grandson like her brother and sister have provided grandchildren! We officially have 5 grandkids...3 rotwiellers, 1 boxer, and 1 mut. We need pictures! Anyway...about Lucky
He's very lucky because we rescued him. The organization stated that someone left him and some brothers and sisters at the lake when he was 2 weeks ago, he didn't even have his eyes opened yet! So, he became apart of a foster family who bottle fed him. Now he's mine! Isn't he cute? We're having a great time potty training...but he'll get it. He learned how to go up and down our steps in just 2 trys! Anyway, his Aunt Shelby (my parents dog) is learning to adjust too....Stinker (the cat) not so much!

The Ones Who Started This :)

Hunting

Well, Dad wanted some pictures on here of us having fun (is hunting fun???). Of course! Just some proof what the Halls are up to sometimes during Thanksgiving and Christmas (except not this year).

Granny

Let's not forget Granny! We don't see her as much as we like, but she's always a joy to have around. Here's she helping Michelle tie off her quilt. Mom is also helping, while Grandma Hall is supervising. We tied it off very quickly.

Grandma Hall

For those of you who don't know, but we have a new roomie. Grandma Hall now lives with us. It's fun having her around and listening to her stories. She broke her knee and foot last year, so she is now under our care. She's doing very well now.

"One day I came home and Grandma said she was reading the Book of Mormon again. She said I need to start so I could catch up with her. She read all the way to 2 Nephi chapter 4 in one day! There's no way I can catch up with her! She's amazing!" -Michelle

The Hall's

Our Family...taken a little over a year ago.

Mom and Dad are so proud...

Mom and Dad just love their baby boy!

More Pictures with Corey

As we all know Corey just loves to take pictures....not!!!
Well, neither does Michelle!

On July 21, 2006 Corey re-enlisted into the Air Force for another 10 years. We are so very proud of him. Dad, Mom, Grandma Hall, and Michelle drove to Las Vegas, NV to see him swear-in (a short 5 minute ceremony)...but we were glad to be there. It was awesome seeing where he works and his helicopter. Corey....Way to Go! You make us proud!
