2yr old picture attempt.

I've decided it is almost harder to take pictures of your own children. They are too comfortable in the studio and just play around instead. I tried to take pictures of Kenzie now that she is almost 2 but not sure I got anything I really wanted. We might try again soon.



This one is probably my favorite.

B.J. and Whitney's wedding

Ok so I just uploaded a ton of pictures. But hey how often do people get married? I will just narrate the day with some pictures.:

Ready or not...... this is my beautiful new sister in law Whitney. She is so nice and fun to hang out with. I look forward to getting to know her so much more over the years.

Here are a bunch of yay-hoos... 3 of them are mine, the handsome boy in the suit is my first nephew - Trae, and the other girl is his cousin Lexie.

New hairstyles and a dinner

Dustin's brother's wedding is tomorrow and the dinner is tonight so I had to try out some new hairstyles for the girls. Haylee's didn't turn out at all but Kenzie's was way cute. We'll have to see what tomorrow brings.







The dinner was very nice. Karen put a lot of work into making it beautiful. The food was good and plentiful and the company enjoyable. Whitney's family is so nice. I really like them very much.

Spring is here

I know that spring is here because I have daffodils and tulips and they have snow on them....

Grandma's Birthday Party

We recently had a birthday party for my Grandma Steck. It was great to get lots of the family down to celebrate. Grandma is such a Trooper. I love her so much and have so much respect for her and my grandpa. They have been through so much together. They raised 7 kids, have 31 grandchildren, and 9 great grandkids. What a legacy. Grandma has been battling cancer for a while. It has been a hard fight but she has taken it by the horns and fought hard. She is preparing yet again for another round of chemo and I want to express my love for her and let her and grandpa know they are always in my prayers.

Here are some pics from the party:

Grandpa with grandson Gavin and great-grandaughter Josephine.

Loren and my dad made her a cabinet for all her "pretties". She was very excited about having a safe place for them.
Hugs... a very tender moment. I bawled.


The "hooligans". This is one awesome family.
