A NEW GRANDBABY!

Amie and Scott had their baby!

Asher Michael Conover was born on November 29th at 11:30 a.m.

He weighed 8 pounds 14 ounces and was 21 inches long.

He is so cute. Amie and Scott say that he is such a good baby. He has been waking up only about once a night.

We are so lucky because Amie and Scott come down to our house almost every Tuesday. We have enjoyed having them come over so that we can see them all and get to know Rayce and Scott better. NOW, we will get to see Asher at least once every week!!!!

Yesterday, Mike said that he wished Amie still lived with him so that he could see Asher as much as he got to see Shade. We love having a new grandchild!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!

I don't have many pictures of Mike when he was small...but here is a picture of his Dad, Mom, Sister Annie, brother Steve, and baby Mike. Mike has another sister, Geri, who is the youngest in the family.

Mike is 52 today!

Mike is the best husband. He is my best friend. He lets me know every day how much he loves me. Thank you Mike for making me feel so special. I know he really LOVES his family and is proud of them. You should hear all the things he tells other people about you and your families.

MIKE...I hope you have a happy birthday and I really love and appreciate you. I love you with all my heart. Thank you for bringing LOVE to my life. We have so much fun together....and especially thanks for letting me put my cold feet on you every night! In the moment we met, I knew you were the one. I am a better person because of you. You give me so much every day....I hope I can make you feel that special today...and ALWAYS!

Love,

Laynie

HOP ON POP

Mike loves to wrestle. At almost every family party he will wrestle, sometimes even box, anyone who is willing...and sometimes, those who aren't. Mike wrestled with Aron...who kicked his butt, then he challenged Scott to a match. When that match was over, Mike sat down and that is when all the boys jumped him! They timed it perfectly. He was so tired from wrestling the guys that he didn't have any energy left. Mike sure knows how to make family parties FUN.

We had a great Easter. We loved having everyone over. We had two parties. One for the Engberg side at noon. We had 27 people over and had a fun Easter hunt and then enjoyed the warm weather by sitting outside. Then, we had the Giles side with 36 people over. We really enjoy spending time with all of you! Come over more often....you know that we shouldn't have to only see each other for the holidays! If anyone ever wants to go climbing, just let us know....and we are THERE! I sure had fun laughing with my SISTERS!
