Trip to Orlando

 Well after spending about a month with Leah in Norfolk, we all decided to drive down to Orlando and visit with Tovi's family at Universal Studios.  Are we crazy?  Grandpa thought so.  Hannah traveled well, she slept most of the time in the car and slept great at night!

 We stopped at St. Augustine, Florida on the way down.  This was the place where Ponce De Leon landed looking for the fountain of youth.  There was a neat old Spanish Fort and fun things for the kids to see.  Jeremiah had learned about this place in school so was very interested.  It was a nice place to stop for a rest.

 We were able to get rooms right next to Tovi and family at the resort in Florida.  They were of course much more energetic than Leah, but it was fun to eat meals with them and for the kids to spend time with their cousins.

 We loved the sites and fun rides at Universal Studios.  I sure got my share of walking.  Hannah slept almost the whole time, as long as the stroller was moving!?!?  :)

 Taste of Butter Beer at Harry Potter world.  It was really good.

 Jurassic Park was awesome.  I really liked that area.

 Lanie and Eden loved the water park area.  This had lots of fountains that kept going up and down.  They got wet and cooled off while others were hot standing in lines.

 All of the cousins, waiting for food.  From Left:  Lanie, Uncle Miki, Isaac, Sadie, Eden, Jeremiah, Kylie and Hannah.

 Lanie was fascinated by Hannah.  Hannah of course loved to be held.

Miki usually had Hannah in his arms while the rest of us ate.  This was a great visit with lots of good memories.  I hope I can get all of the grandkids together next year.  Maybe a cruise!?!?!?

Beach

 I took the grandkids to the beach in Norfolk.  It is such a beautiful public beach, the weather was great, the water was warm and the sand was awesome.  I didn't get many pictures because it is hard to take pictures when you are in the water with the kids.  Which of course I was most of the time.

 Isaac loves the sand!!!!!

 I do look old!  But I am really very young. . . well almost.

 Digging is great fun and takes a lot of time.

I like this picture of the colorful buckets.

Bangert Family

 Pictures taken of the Bangert Family.  It is always great to see these wonderful pictures.  Of course with such cute kids the pictures would have to be great.

Baby Blankets for Hannah.

 These are a few of the blankets that I made for Hannah and took to Norfolk with me.  It sure is fun making things for my family.

This afghan was fun to crochet.  It is always great to do a different pattern for each one.

Hannah Rose Bangert Blessing

It was awesome, James was still here and able to bless and name this sweet little baby.  The bishop came over after church and with James and Michael they gave a wonderful blessing to Hannah Rose Bangert on July 28, 2013.

 James, LeahCim and Hannah.  She is so loved and has wonderful parents.

 Here is a picture of the family.  From left to right Aunt Cumorah, Mother LeahCim, Hannah, Grandpa Mike, Isaac, Eden, Jeremiah, Daddy James and Grandma Jane.

 Isn't this an adorable family!!!!!!!

 Pictures of the blessing dress.  This dress was worn by Great Grandma Ruth, Great Uncle Ed, Grandma Jane, Mother LeahCim, Aunt Toviah, Aunt Cumorah, Eden and now Hannah.  It was starting to wear out and so I had to do a wee bit of repair before Hannah could wear it.  But it turned out very beautiful.

I love the detail of the lace around the bottom.

Norfolk and Hannah

We traveled to visit family in July.
We arrived in Norfolk on July 20.  It was awesome to visit with family.  Leah had just had her baby and I was able to help her in the hospital as well as at home.  It was awesome to stay with them for the month of August.

 Hannah on July 20.  She is so beautiful and such a good baby.

 Hannah on July 23.  She is so alert

Big sister!!!  Eden with Hannah.

 Cami came to visit from New Jersey.  It was awesome to have her there.  She was able to visit with Leah,  play with Jeremiah, Isaac and Eden.

And of course she spent hours holding Hannah.  Every time I turned around, she had that wee baby in her arms.
