Heritage - September 13, 1928

Today my grandmother turned 81 years young. Several years ago she has a mild stroke, but to this day she still mows her own grass, loves to work in her flower beds, and lives life as best she can. I love and admire her. She's old fashioned and quirky, but has the best intentions. What a blessing. It puts butterfly kisses in my heart to see with her great grandchildren and see her smile.

{Summer Vacation} A day at the museum...

......A day at the Pink Palace Museum.

My children love to go to the Pink Palace Museum, and see all the dinosaur bones, visit the planetarium, and on this particular trip they got to see the animated dinosaurs. If you haven't ever seen them they are quite a sight.

Summer, Vacations, and lots of FUN!

Every year the children get to visit with their grandpa. It is always seems so short, but we have a wonderful time, and so enjoy his visits. This year we went to a couple of different favorites of the children. I will enclose more pictures in another post.

Grandpa enjoying coffee, tri-ominos, and family fun. Love you, can't wait for your next visit.

Jordan playing on the couch, kids are so funny when they fake sleep and they get busted.

Father and son bonding time, Saturday morning cartoons & cuddles.

Back to school, meet your teachers day.

Fourth of July 2009

Here is a little peek into our celebration of Fourth Of July 2009. Our family had a wonderful day of cooking out and fireworks.

Breanna's Baptism - June 27, 2009

This is one of the most special days, to date, for my daughter. During VBS, she accepted Jesus as her Savior, and was baptized June 27, 2009. I was honored to do the photography, and capture the moment.
