December 2010 – Sandra and Family

April 1st, 2011

We got a few pictures from Sandra I think via Facebook. The girls have really changed in the past few years. Elena is a young lady now and the twins are not far behind. Sandra is still in Spain teaching at the university. 

In case you have forgotten, Sandra is my cousin on my Dad’s side of the family. Her Dad, Franklin Myers and I are cousins. Franklin farms and lives in Kansas. Sandra’s Grandmother, Dorothy Myers,  and my Dad, Paul Loveless, were brother and sister. Now I should use the terms second and first cousins but since I don’t understand what they really mean I’ll use what the Internet told me. Just use COUSIN.

I certainly hope I have the names correct for these girls. I usually do but as they get older they lend to look a lot alike. I apologize if I’ve gotten them wrong.

December 2010 – Christmas Time

April 1st, 2011

As usual, each of the families had there individual gift opening at there residences either on Christmas Eve or on Christmas morning. This was for the Langley’s, the Johnson’s and the Matt Loveless’ family. Of course Mark is in Arlington Texas with most of his family. Then around noon Christmas Day, everyone came to the house here in Tulsa for dinner. It was after dinner that we all exchanged gifts which is quite a trick for so many people. Three from the Langley’s, four from Matt’s (three of his kids were at there Mom’s for Christmas and got our gifts Christmas eve), four from Karen’s (had a new one from Karen’s as Kyle’s room mate from Stillwater was also here – Tyler Valdez ) and Marie and Bud. That’s 14 heads eating and opening gifts. Lordy if Mark and his total gang and Matt’s other 3 were here that would be another 14. After our get together some of the individuals were going to other dinners and gift exchanges so it was a little busy throughout the total day.

December 2010 – Evelyn Albright 80th Birthday Party

April 1st, 2011

Evelyn was born on December 23rd in 1930 in Emporia Kansas. She was the first child of Bill and Evelyn Ford-Taylor of Muskogee Oklahoma. She was born in Kansas as her mother went there to be assisted by her mother.

The party was held at one of the local Mazzios in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Evelyn had moved to Muskogee earlier. There were a lot of people in attendance with a lot of noisy kids with balloons and other toys. Evelyn’s three (3) children and their families were in attendance along with Evelyn’s brother Paul and sister Marie and some of their families. I can’t remember how many grand-kids and great grand-kids were in attendance but there to be a lot of them.

December 2010 – Cammion

March 31st, 2011

More pictures copied from Facebook.

These pictures were copied during December even though they may be a little older. Cammion is the daughter of Keith Taylor, son of Paul Taylor, Marie’s brother. Believe it or not she is a twin of Brandis who’s family was shown earlier. Cammion and her husband Daniel were transfered to Japan last year. Daniel is a Marine Officer.  They will be gone for nother two years.  They have a daughter by the name of Allison.

December 2010 – Brandis’ Family

March 31st, 2011

As I said earlier, I get a lot of pictures by copying them from Facebook.

These pictures were copied during December even though they may be a little older. Brandis to the daughter of Keith Taylor, son of Paul Taylor Marie’s brother. Believe it or not she is a twin of Cammion who’s family will be up later. Brandis and her husband Stephen are located in North Carolina. They have a year old son by the name of Adam.

Also pictured is a group picture of Brandis, Season (her older sister) her mother Martha and Martha mother I only know as Nana.

December 2010 – Broken Arrow Junior Band

March 31st, 2011

Matthew, Kim and Matt’s son is in the Junior Band at the Broken Arrow High School here in Oklahoma. I wish I had made a video of this beginners band because it is great. The senior matching as well as the orchestra and jazz groups have won all sorts of awards over the past few years. They certainly make the orchestras I was in sound bad. And we were not that bad. I will get a recording next year.

Matthew happens to play the trombone, just like Virginia (my sister) and I did. I also played the trumpet. Not to well though.

November 2010 – Thanksgiving

March 31st, 2011

Another turkey, rather than the one you cut off its head and roast  (or now) fry and then eat, is I. I almost forgot to take pictures of any of the going’s on Thanksgiving. I guess that with Laura, Steve and Dustin going to Steve’s parents or his brother’s house for dinner, it just slipped my mind. Anyway, just before the last people were leaving, I wanted to take a picture of Kyle’s roommate from Stillwater and I finally got my camera out.

Sorry about that.  But here are the only pictures I took. I could have taken a picture of the bird, but it was completely striped of meat and the bones very in th trash.

November 14 – Karen’s 48th Birthday

March 31st, 2011

 

We held a party at our place for Karen to celebrate her 48th birthday of November 14th, 2010. Being winter time all the activity was inside. Below are some of the pictures that were taken on this occasion.

November 2010 – Paul Taylor’s Family

March 31st, 2011

We are lucky these days to have some of the family utilizing Facebook to perform a onesided communication. Of course not all the family uses Facebook so they aren’t able to see some of the pictures each family member produces. Therefore, I’ve been copying some of the pictures and will place them on my BLOG. Now if you don’t want your picture to be copied, good luck as I figure you want to share them.

These are some of the pictures taken when Paul was back in the Carolina’s on a visit and some taken elsewhere.

I’ll try to get names associated with who is in these pictures but that is sometimes tough for old timers to remember. Place the computer pointer over the picture to see captions and click to see a larger image.

The pictures of Brock, Brady and Paul were taken at Keith’s place in Late 2010. Pictures of Brandis and Family (ie Stephen and Adam) were taken in late 2020, as were Keith’s family (ie Rhonda, Heavin & Ari).

Late October 2010 – Pictures of Season’s Halloween

November 3rd, 2010

These are some of the pictures I picked up from FaceBook as published by Season. In case you don’t know who Season is, she is Keith Taylor’s (Marie’s nephew) daughter who lives in South Carolina with husband Fab and children JT and Faith.

Moving your pointer over the picture gives a picture title and clicking the  picture  will make the picture larger. To return to the entry, go to the left arrow at the left of the address/browser line.
