Visiting Great Grandpa Bob

We went and saw Great Grandpa Bob, I grew up calling him "Big Grandpa" but Steve could not remember if he was big or little so he has taught the kids it's Grandpa Bob to keep it easy for him. Grandpa is 92 years old and still doing pretty good. The kids don't know him the way I knew him but they still like to go see him. Age is a strange thing, "getting older is no fun, but it's better than the alternative" which is a quote this Grandpa likes to say! He's funny. This was the first time he met Jeb, it was sweet.

Love.....Family

Oh yes, everyone LOVES Grandma and Grandpa! The greatest grandparents these kids could ever wish for!!! Love, support, encouragement, joy, comfort and well, 1,000,000,000 other great qualities are all bound up in my mom and dad!!!! oh it's......David, Mom, Grandpa, Collin, and Alex in the picture.

We were blessed to have my big brother Troy down here for a few days and he met Jeb for the first time! That was great! Troy said he looks like the rest of the Goldman's and he's a keeper, we agree! HA We are excited to find out what Troy and Heather are going to have in November # 7 boy or girl for them. Hey, that means we should have to come up to Washington to visit them huh!! Oh yeah!! They have the Organic wine vineyard near them...I am coming! Well, not to mention terrific and awesome kids!!!

Big sister Murren Loves Jeb. And she is a cutie herself with those missing teeth of hers!

Everyone loves David! I know I do! I took David with is to the Green show on Saturday and he is so funny. When we got home the twins and Will ran out to greet us, so sweet! What an amazing man! God is going to use him huge! He also is getting to know some pretty awesome people too...Bob Burg and stuff!! Wow! Love you David. Keep up the studies, piano and the blog :)

Green Show in Ashland

On our way to the Green Show!

Jeb's ready to go!!

Watching the Green Show...dancing and great music, Anna and Cassie looking cute!

Renaissance dancing and music, it was great! The dancers reminded me of Karissa and Destiny!

Alex, Collin and David, after the show. Cool Guys!!

All of the group, it was fun to have these kids, they are great!

This is the main reason we went tonight, :) we wanted to see Anna's old Penny whistle teacher Pat O'Scannell. It was fun to watch, hear and see her again! She's a great teacher and musician!

Jeb and Collin

Thanks to Aunt Liisa (and Grandma Dot) Jeb has some very cute clothes. Liisa loaned me Noah's old clothes...he's so fun to dress up and take pictures of! He is growing up fast...ahhhhhhh. He is almost 4 weeks old. We are enjoying him every minute, I have found out time goes by very fast.

Jeb was Baptized in the Covenant

Jeb was baptized this Sunday! What a blessing to know he is in the Covenant! Praise God we are so happy!

Last night....music

Last night we played some music together!!! Oh the Joy! I (Tami) can reach my Bass....no belly in the way! Praise God! Jeb sat next to me....not "in" me this time!
We were fatherless/gutairless for the beginning of the music time so that was funny. Steve was installing a swamp cooler we just got yesterday so it was a little different without the gutair but still it was fun. We figured we better learn how to play without him if he gets a job, and can't join us at the Growers Market this summer....we are all wanting to start going again to the Market and make a little extra spending cash for the kids. Steve did join us a little later, so that was nice!
Alex has been doing some amazing song writing lately. Alex really stretches Steve musical abilities in finding the chords to songs, and that is not that easy. Alex is writing "different stuff" well more complicated then the average 1,4,5 bluegrass songs! It's so awesome to see them work together and come up with an amazing tune! I just wait till they figure it out and then hand me over the chart for me to follow...shhhh don't tell them.
Last night Alex and Anna were working on a tune Anna started writing on the banjo, it's great too! God is really blessing these kids with the gift of music. I pray they use music always for His glory and His Kingdom on earth! I am so glad I get to listen to their music so much around the house :) I love it!

Happy Birthday Kenny!!!

It's My Sunset!!!! Oh I got you Kenny! Happy birthday brother (a day late). Kenny your such an awesome brother, Uncle and friend! You are of course the greatest preacher ever. You have been so great to Alex in teaching him and all the Omnibus kids! What an example you are to me in so many ways. You are always so happy, funny, giving, and yep all around great! I love you hope you had a wonderful birthday!!!! You deserved the best! Maybe sometime we can go bike riding again and I can ride on your pegs....oh those were the days. You always were so good to me, an awesome big brother! Happy belated birthday~~ I love you!!!!

Kenny and his wonderful family ....they all love him too!!! Awww so sweet aren't they!!! :) Notice Katrina, what a smile!!!

Happy Birthday William

We are so blessed to have William John in our family, and we want to wish him a happy 5th birthday! We love you Tuggers! You are the funniest guy around! We are proud of you...your reading, and your bike riding, your love for your Jesus and the way you take care of your new little brother Jebediah! You are so wonderful!!! Love you buddy!

Will loves his little brother Jeb!

Happy Birthday Kaila!

Kaila is one of the neatest girls I know. What a heart, what a love for Christ and what a yearning she has to follow after purity! She is always amazing me with her knowledge and yet her humbleness too. I am so blessed that my kids have her as their cousin, she sets a great example for all the 30 grandkids! Wow, now she has a drivers license and is ready to hit the road....not! (at least not too far from home). I know she wants to bless her family and follow the wishes of her daddy in the years to come! She plays guitar wonderfully, and in our family that is a major smart thing and a total plus in life! HA She is wonderful all the way around!!!

Kaila have an awesome birthday, and may this year fill you more with His awesome love and grace. Love ya so much---

Cousin Esther came to visit!

Jeb was happy to see his cousin Esther, he thinks she is as great as I do. She helped me get him dressed and held him almost the whole time she was here. Well, she had to let Liisa hold him a minute...what a sweetie. He liked seeing all the other Anderson's too. Liisa brought over a delicious dinner.... meatballs and they were great! She sure knows how to cook! Of course Anna did her wonderful part and got them all ready for me! What wonderful people to have around. :)

Jebediah's doing great and life has never been better!!

Family and cousins holding Jebediah

This boy is around tons of loving family members. He is sure blessed to enter the world of the AGK's who all have so much love to give him!

Grandpa Ken and Anna, a little while after Jeb was born.

Anna, she caught Jeb, she wants to be a midwife and I am sure she will do awesome as one!

Cassie holding Jeb, she did great in helping out at the birth and after.

Daddy and his confederate soilder Jebediah Victor! Jeb was named after 'Jeb Stuart' in the Confederate army. Victor is of course after three amazing men I know and love! Grandpa Taco/Grandpa Great, Uncle Kenny, and OK Cousin Kolten at least he thinks that :)

Birthday Boys!

My oldest and my youngest share the same birthday! April 27th...........that's 7 in our household of 10 people to be born on the 27th day of a month. Pretty funny.

Jebediah Victor was born on Alex's 15th birthday. God is so fun sometimes, Jeb was born at 12:00 a.m. just perfect to make his oldest brothers birthday. I think he will want to be like his big brother in many ways. At least I pray that he will. Alex is a blessing in so many ways. He is so kind and gentle to his little brothers and sisters. He is so patient when he teaches them fiddle, or plays with them. He is so willing to go outside and push Will on the swing or create some fun, new thing for the kids to do. God has been working huge in his life too. His love and knowledge of Jesus Christ is growing each day. Many times I am asking him what things mean or some big word. I know the Omnibus class that his Uncle Kenny is teaching has been life changing for him. We are so excited to see what God is doing and will do in Alex the older he gets. He is of course still getting better and better at his love, the fiddle! What a gift of music he has, and that I know he wants to use to glorify God Almighty.

Alex 15yrs. old

Jeb 1 day old.

What do I say about the birthday boy Jebediah? He is getting really good at nursing, and I say does want to do it all the time. :) Mom got him a pacifier and he loved it, our first child to ever take one. Just looking at him brings joy to my heart. He is a gift from God that will love dearly and are excited to see grow into a fine man of God!!

New dresses made by Granny!

What a blessing to have a mother-in-law make our girls such beautiful dresses. The girls were very pleased with them. Granny is amazing at sewing and we are all the happy recipients of her talents!!
