Jerry, John and Grayson. Three of the cutest Grandkids you'll ever find!

A Clan gathering

2011-07-18T16:25:00.000-05:00

Recently, on July 9th and 10th to be precise, we had a mini family get together on Pickwick Lake. Becky and I hosted Donald and Cindy Melancon (BIL and SIL), Tressa and Charlie Baggett (Niece & husband) and their kids Abigail, Lillian, Cecilia, and Madeleine, along with our Daughter and our son-in-law, Jennifer and Derek Davenport, and our grandson Grayson and also Michael and Katie's son, our grandson Jerry. We had a great time boating and swimming on those hot, sultry days. On the last day the kids, all except Grayson who had to go home earlier, met and feed the ducks, fish and turtles. A wonderful end to a wonderful visit.

Jennifer (now called Mom) and Derek (now called Dad) and Grayson are all doing well, outside of the sleep deprivation and are anxious to go home to become the tremendous family they are meant to be. 3 Cheers. HIP, HIP, Hooray!

Our new used boat in Decatur, Alabama.

2010-06-16T14:56:00.003-05:00

We have made an offer and it was accepted for a 2001 Carver 350 Mariner now located in Decatur, AL. We'll be bringing it back to Aqua Yacht Harbor in Iuka, MS. We plan to name her the "Phish Food II". We're excited and ready to sail it to the new harbor soon.

Bye Bye Phish Food!

2010-06-16T14:52:00.002-05:00

We sold our boat "Phish Food" to some nice people out of Booneville, MS. We're sad but excited since this allows us to buy a new boat "Phish Food II" that we will take delivery of during the week of June 21st.

New GrandBaby on the way!

2010-03-19T14:50:00.004-05:00

Our daughter Jennifer, and her husband Derek, are expecting a son in August 2010, around the 12Th. They revealed the sex to us on Monday March 15Th. They have chosen the name Grayson Davis for this new family member. Becky, I, and the rest of the family are really excited to have a new baby join this crazy family... We can hardly wait.

Meet "Phish Food"

2009-04-24T16:47:00.003-05:00

We finally named our boat. She's now the "Phish Food" named after the Ben and Jerry Ice Cream flavor, and if you have a bit of a "hippy" lifestyle, after the band "Phish"

Becky and I go to San Antonio for Valentine's Day 02/12/09

2009-02-27T20:36:00.010-06:00

Becky and I visited with Randy and Pam Baker and they shared various San Antonio sites with us. Like this one, the Mission San Jose. Pam and Randy are old friends from our current neighborhood, Woodlawn Village. They moved to San Diego CA about 3 years ago and then "retired" and moved to San Antonio in July 2008. We enjoy visiting with them since they are great people and they live in very interesting places too.

We also visited the San Antonio River Walk

2008-10-25T17:35:00.005-05:00

Well, my daughter Jennifer got married to Derek Davenport on October 25, 2008 at Bonne Terre Country Inn in Nesbit, Mississippi. It was a wonderful weather day as well as a wonderful celebration day.

Everything pretty much went exactly as planned. Jennifer was as pretty as ever and Derek was handsome. We had lots of company from out of town from both families and because of that we had a great time visiting after the actual wedding.

Oct 17, 2007 we Bought a Boat......

2007-12-18T19:44:00.000-06:00

Well, my mid life crisis hit and Becky and I went out a bought a boat. We've never owned one before but it seemed like it would be a blast. Figured we try with a slightly used boat (1999 Sea Ray 270 DA) that we are now keeping at Aqua Harbor on Pickwick Lake in Iuka Mississippi. We have yet to change it's name to something we like but we are leaning towards the name MotoBoato. If you have a thought about what to name her let me know before the Spring.

My Grandfather

2007-01-03T16:10:00.000-06:00

This is the restored photo of my Dad's Dad, my Grandfather, or put another way this is Lil' Jerry's Great Great Grandfather. He was born May 7th, 1898 and died at the age of 40, in 1938, when my father was 12 years old. According to my father this photo was taken when my Grandfather was either 20 or 21 years old. He was a Horseman in the Royal Dutch Cavalry, 3rd Regiment, known as the "Blue Hussars".

When Mom and Dad came up for Christmas, in 2006, they brought this copy of a photograph that we sat for in Amsterdam in 1964. The photo shows me at the ripe old age of 15 (upper left). Carrie, Beverly and Audrey along with Mom and Dad, Oma Basma, Opa Bosma, Tanta Will and her husband and Carla all are in the picture.

We enjoyed Christmas this year with Mom and Dad, Jennifer and her boyfriend Derek, Michael and his son Lil Jerry and Jerry's Mom, Kat, along with Stephanie, Becky and me.

Becky made a great Prime Rib while Michael brought a deep fried turkey. All in all, we ate like there was no tomorrow and everyone got many gifts from Santa and each other.

My Mom & Dad's 50th Anniversary Family Picture

2006-11-10T12:55:00.000-06:00

Back in 1997 Mom & Dad (Meip & John) had a big 50th Wedding Anniversary party and family gathering. This is about the last time that EVERYONE, their son and Daughter in law, their daughters and their spouses, and all the grandkids were together in one place. Maybe in 2007 we can do a 60th anniversary get together?

My trip to San Diego Sept 30th

2006-11-08T16:49:00.000-06:00

Here are Randy and Pam Baker at the San Diego Zoo. Randy & Pam used to live across the street from us but moved in August so that Randy could take a job at San Diego State University. I had to go to Plant Equipment in Temecula on business so I just drove down to San Diego for this visit right after my meetings were done.

November 2006 - The Blog's beginning.

2006-11-06T17:42:00.000-06:00

Here is the reason for this blog's beginning. My Grandson Jerry. Hopefully this blog will allow the Theuns family and it's friends to see what's going on with our part of the family.

Jerry is 3 1/2 at this blog's creation and a great kid. Yeah we know he has red hair but Becky's side of the family has some red haired members.

The Theuns' house Dec 2004

2004-12-23T14:24:00.000-06:00

This is the way our house looked just before Christmas 2004. A major ice storm came through on the 22nd and coated everything, but it looked great in the neighborhood. Just made it difficult to get around.
