July 2010 – Matt’s and Laura’s Birthday

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

This wasn’t the normal year as far as celebrating Matt’s and Laura’s birthday. Kim’s mother is in the hospital in very bad shape, so Matt and Kim were at the hospital, but the kids were at the celebration. Others were Karen, Greg and Kyle, Kassidy, Matthew and Alexis and Marie and Bud.

Fourth Of July At Laura’s and Steve’s

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

I got back from Scott City a little after-noon and we headed to the Langley’s mid-afternoon. It was a hot day and people were arriving most of the afternoon. Steve’s sister Margaret and her son were up from Texas, Bud and Marie from Tulsa, Arlene Langley (Steve’s mom) from Broken Arrow OK, and Steve and Laura Langley and son Dustin from their place north-west of Skiatook.

There were card games played by some of the older folks and a lot of other stuff by the kids. Fire works were in use all afternoon and on into the evening.Laura, Marie and Arlene also picked black berries.  A good time was had by all.

June 2010 – New Fence

Friday, August 6th, 2010

But a lot of effort went into replacing the 96 feet of fencing that was rotting and falling down. I knew I didn’t want to spend the $1500 it was going to cost to have the fense done by professionals so I decided to do it myself. But it turned out to be a very large task. I had to replace some posts and more cross members than I care to think about.

It also took a week and a half to complete the effort. When you use cement for the posts you lose time awaiting for the cement to cure.

But I did get a good tan or maybe a slight burn. With the heat of summer I was generally not able to work a full 8 hours a day. Or maybe it’s because I’m to old for this stuff.

June 2010 – Taylor Reunion – Part 1

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Bill & Evelyn and Kids

Dick, Evelyn, Marie & Paul

 

This year’s Reunion was held June 25 through 27th at Arrowhead Park in Oklahoma as it has in the past 15 years. This is the 16th annual reunion having started in 1995. Dick andShirley were unable to attend this year as Dick is still recovering. Paul was here early on Friday but became ill and had to return to Muskogee. But the reunion went on as planned.

This BLOG will only attempt to show this years attendees and not the activities, because of the number of pictures that are available. We had 46 attendees including family and a few friends. There were additional friends of the family, numbering somewhere between five (5) and ten (10), who were present Saturday PM.

Total pictures will be placed on a DVD or a CD depending on the available time this August. It will possibly be all the available pictures placed on a CD and a DVD show as in previous years. We will notify the family later this month for them to let us know what they would like to have.

Activities this year were Croquet, badminton, horse-shoes, softball, poker, water-balloons, little kids water pool, water sliding, kids drawing, slime preparation, a kids parade, lotsa talking, setting around, bingo and eating.

I will be grouping the pictures with each of the various families.

June 2010 – Baseball Again

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

These pictures were after the final league tournament where they came in second. But these were excellent games. The coach and his assistants did an excellent job in rounding this group of  boys into a really good team. They are really to be praised for the time they put into this effort.

The  coach was Mitch Garrett and the assisants were Darrin Stagsdill, Brad Peck, Greg McNutt and Steve Langley.

June 2010 – Kassidy’s 17th Birthday Was May 31

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

We held the little party for Kassidy after his real birthday. This is usually the case because weekends are about the only time we can schedule everyone to attend. But everyone had a good time and Kassidy cleaned up in the money market.

This was a little different. We went to a local Mexican eating place. They have all the Mexican food you want as well as a game place for kids to play machine games. The kids had a ball at this place.

June 2010 – Father’s Day

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

Father’s Day was a little limited this year as Steve, Laura and Dustin had other plans initially. They were at Steve’s parents house. They did show up later but I got no shots. As a manor of fact the camera was not working so I had to get my new camera out. Problem was, the batteries were bad.
