Happy "should be" Birthday to you Brayden and Brooklyn!!!


By the way, thanks to Mr Groundhog for giving us six more weeks of winter!

In review

No pictures this time, though you have to admit the trip down memory lane was funny and memorable I'm sure, for those of you in the pictures. Now, how about the "Trescott Year in Review"
We'll start off with all the new leaves that have been added this year. Sydney Elizabeth born in April to Jen (Kimble) and Jason Norch. Mallory Kathleen born in August to Missy (Kimble) and J.J. Sandberg. Note to self...you may not want to drink the water at the Kimble's. Then we have John Patrick (JP) born to Beth (Bickel) and Jessie Cordova. Last but not least is everyone's little heart hero Peyton Eyler born to Mandi(Trescott) and Rick Eyler. If my calculations are correct, that would bring the total to 25 great grandchildren and still counting. Scott and Bre Frank are expecting their second child in 2008. Would anyone one else like to add to that.....?

We also celebrated some milestones in 2007. Bill celebrated the big 6-0, Joe celebrated the big 5-0. Kenny Dale celebrated the big 3-0. Michael Gandee the big 2-0. Katie Eastep celebrated the big 1-8, graduated from high school and lived to tell about it. Cody Trescott graduated from the 8th grade as class valedictorian no less. 'Gets his smarts from his favorite aunt Beck. Most importantly, the oldest Leaf of the tree celebrated her 82nd birthday and is still going strong... and to bingo when Joe lets her drive. I also think it's worth an honorable mention that a certain little boy did learn to "tinkle on a tree" in 2007 ! HUGE Milestone for a 2 year old, and I won't mention any names. It is official, 4 generations of tree-tinkling-trescott men.

Did I forget anything? Oh, as a parent or coach we've warmed the bleachers and cheered thru approximately 70 softball, t-ball, baseball, basketball, football or soccer games. As parents and grandparents we've smiled, laughed, cried and slept thru at least 30 recitals, plays, band and choir concerts, and graduations. And don't forget.... we've survived droughts in Alabama, snow in Florida, rain, floods and fires in California, weeks at the Cleveland Clinic, broken arms, thumb surgeries and poker parties in the garage. We've made it thru first days of preschool, last days of grade school, first and last days of high school and first days of college and the first annual garage Gang Mafia Christmas Party. Most importantly, some of us have learned to blog...and even remember how to .

Have a happy and prosperous New Year, filled with lots of fun memories and good times.

Merry Christmas

Like everything else I've done this holiday season, my happy Holiday greetings come a little late. Were any of you out in the mad rush on Christmas Eve? No? Well then you most certainly missed my mad dash to Walmart at 4am to get wrapping paper, tape, and baby food, all after working 12 hours nonetheless.

It was great to see everyone who was able to make it to lunch at Hometown Buffet Christmas Eve. If you weren't able to come, you missed interesting conversation about the power grid, courtesy of Jason and Tony. Oh, and not to mention, my cranky tired baby who didn't want to visit with anyone else. Sorry 'bout that! Otherwise, a good time was had by all, and we'll plan to do this again next year, although we'll plan it more in advance, and likely a couple weeks before Christmas so it won't be so hectic for everyone.

Becky... loved the Christmas pictures. The top picture of Grandma and the 5 kids says it all... one of the kids is pointing a (fake) gun at himself, and the look on Grandma's face is priceless! I thought Christmas with 3 kids was a task!! I'm not sure if Grandma did "toy parties" back then, but I like the assortment of gifts in the pictures- there's a stroller, a gun, a guitar, one kid has some reindeers... it reminds me of a family party in the garage! Gosh, they started so young!

Anyhow...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to y'all, especially Rick who is the newest blogger to the website. Looking forward to keeping in touch with everyone both in person and online in 2008!

Hey y'all, Merry Christmas! Isn't this new fangled internet stuff sumpthin'? Give me some time and I'll learn how to post pictures too! I mean if D.O.B. can figure it out....but then she has a kid still at home that probably taught her.
I knew that the 1st picture was Bill and his new wagon...Dad eventually repainted it with a brush and I got it for Christmas about 3 years later. :-) As for the next picture, I think that that is Bill, Barb ,me, Ken and Marge at the last Christmas on 2nd Street in Canton.
I'm not sure but I think the next picture with "Pet" when she was a pup, is the first Christmas on Georgetown Road. The baby is Jake. We moved to Geo. Rd. on New years eve or New years day, I can't remember if we got the pup when we were still on second street, a week before we moved. If thats the case then the baby would be Margie. That may be the only picture of "Pet" where she wasn't pregnant!
Wow! What a trip down memory lane!
So where is everybody else that should be in here? I miss all you guys, especially during the holiday season. I'll check back later.... Rick

another blast from the past

Yeeehawww. I'll beeee, even Rick can blog, 'em there southerners can do 'bout anythang can't they now darlin'? Some of you "anti-bloggers are lookin' pretty bad right now!
Speaking of Rick, did ya' figure out who the "angelic" little boy is in the christmas past? If you guessed Dan, which happened to be the popular vote, NOT. Remember, I did use the term "angelic" that knocks Dan out completely, and a few others too. (who luvs ya' Skibbo?) Besides, Dan only sits down to rake apples. That story is a whole new blog.... just ask Dan. Now if you really study the picture, you should notice it is in black and white. Dan's not that old is he? And only one christmas miracle per year here; I can only scan, not edit, not paste and certainly not change tone. So, it's not Dan, it's not Rick or Jake either (see above term "angelic") who could that be? Take a look at the train in the picture (Dillon gets it honestly), and notice that the clothes he's wearing are new, not hand me downs. Well, It's none other than "our little Billy in his new wagon" Ahhhhh, he's so cute! You really can see the halo. Someone said it had to be Bill, because there weren't 50 other munchkins around the tree, and that person was right. so I couldn't resist one more blast from the past... Now that's a Trescott Christmas !!!!

GO! BUCKEYES!!!

Greetings again from Alabama! For all of you who’s extended Holiday plans include watching the OHIO STATE BUCKEYES demolish the LSU Tigers; the half time show will include a high school band from our area. The Pinson Valley High School “Marching Chiefs” are from down the road about ½ an hour from us. Pat’s late husband was the Art teacher at this school.

All I can add is …GO! BUCKEYES!
