What's going on?

Hi Everyone! I thought we'd finally update the Colyn family blog as it has not been changed since 2006. Times are a changing.
We will try some new things to keep everyone interested and to maintain some sense of order around here. There is some social media integration for posts to be shared through Facebook, Twitter, etc. A Search function, so make sure you add labels to your posts for future reference.
Please be patient the next little while if things move around a bit, and be sure to let me know if you like or dislike whats going on.
Oh, and keep up the good posts, everyone! If you need any help logging in or posting, just contact me anytime... ~John

Cats N Bats


Last night as the sun was setting Treena and I were sitting
on the back deck and a bat came flying all around us.
While Treena and I were ducking so we didn't get nailed by
the critter, our cat, Dasher, launched himself into the air
and caught the bat in mid flight. Pretty amazing.

what a milestone!!

HAPPY 50th Anniversary mom and dad!!!!



You are an inspriation to all of us!!!

Wasn't that a party?


A huge thank you to Aliza and Corrie for helping to coordinate the big 50th bash. What would our family be without those two girls? I am so glad everyone could make it to PA. Also, thank you Jake and Mitzie for hosting us all on Sunday. Hopefully we didn't wear your trampoline out too much.

And of course, thanks to Mom and Dad for bringing each of us into the world and for still putting up with us oddballs.

Mom we hope you are getting some relief and will be feeling much better soon. We love you!

Have a great week everyone!

Howdy Y'all!!


Hi Gang, and greetings from Nashville. It has been a great week here in the music city - but it is so blinkin' hot! 90+ degrees. I've never seen so many Dolly Parton look alikes, cowboy boots and guitars in my life. Anyways, looking forward to seeing y'all on the weekend.

Chico and the Chickie


Happy 7th Birthday Ezra.

Ezra's class hatched chicks and he was given 6 to take home.
We'll either be having eggs in a little while or lots of chicken for Thanksgiving.

Ally is 5


We had such a fun and very busy day for Ally's birthday!!! Thanks to "Bounce Mania" we kept a total of near 20 kids happy throughout the day. Here is a shot of William and Ally in their bouncy castle that we rented for the day. Can't believe she is 5.....her big accomplishment this week is riding her bike without her training wheels ...YeE HaW!!
Happy Birthday sweety we love you sooo much!!!

Golf anyone?

Well we finally bit the bullet and got some reliable/economical transportation.
The one hard thing for me is that I'm going to Nashville this week for a preaching conference so Treena is the one who gets to break the car in. Oh well.

Looking forward to seeing you all next weekend!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's today. I hope you are all enjoying a sleep-in relaxing morning. I am about to go back to bed and wait for my annual breakfast in bed. The sun is just coming through the trees across the road and it looks promising for another beautiful sunny day. I hope all you ladies enjoy it. See you all soon.

A walk in the park....


Hello all, it's been sort of quiet on the blog front lately, we must all be out enjoying the super weather. Sam and I had some time together last week and we went to a local wildflower preserve. It was gorgeous. Hope you are all well. Looking forward to the big shin-dig.
