MISD Campaign Photo Shoot

After being asked by a few different people, a lot of thought and prayer.. Jeff decided to throw his hat in the ring for a position on the school board. Education is extremely important to my husband and no one I know has more of a love for children.       This one leaves me speechless!! This little girl is just stunning! This is a new favorite for sure!!!     Win or lose these .. These pictures are worth it:) I know that they will be treasured for years to come. They truly represent the relationship Jeff has with each of our little ones. Looking at these.. It made me fall in love with my husband all over again.  I am so blessed to be married to a man that adores his children the way Jeff does. And they love him as much as he loves them. And this picture is priceless... Shows just how beautiful and non-perfect my little family is. I would not change a thing!! A special THANK YOU! To Tonia Kempe...

St. Ann's Fair

Image
One of my most favorite silly little family traditions is the St. Ann's Fair.  It takes place not to far from our house, so soon as it starts to go up and the kids get the first glimpse of the Farris wheel, the excitement begins!!   Oliver was such a good sport! He rode all the little kid rides with Colt and Lilly. He was so protective over his little sister:)  Finally my little man got to ride the "big kid" rides:)   One of our favorite things about the Fair... Yummy food..lol        Lilly played her first Carnival game:)  Lilly was so proud of her Dolphin.. Later in the day she feel asleep holding it's flipper.               This was Storrie's first time to go to the Fair ......     ....and the first time ever that Brenna did not go with us. As much fun as we had... There was a dark shadow over the day.. We REALLY missed B...

Storrie {10 months}

Image
  Yesterday was your 10 month birthday.     This beautiful little angel has been the greatest gift. The light in her shines so bright. She brings so much joy to all that know her. She is so loved and cherished.. Not just by our family, but by all our friends. There is just something extra special about this baby.       I just adore these two bottom teeth!!!  My sweet Storrie.... You are changing so much. You are really starting to become your own little person. Even though you are still the most happy, content baby I have ever seen.. You are starting to let your likes and dislikes be known.   Here are a few fun things about you, my sweet baby girl.... * You weigh 20 lbs and wear 12 months . You have the cutest little fat rolls on your legs and the sweetest chubby cheeks. *You LOVE music and "dance" anytime you hear any. Even when Lilly sings to you. *You are the biggest Daddy's girl I have ever seen... Ever tim...

Labor Day Weekend

Image
Since we had a three day weekend.. We headed to the farm for a three day weekend.     Harper had a little parade that was even smaller then Stanton's.. But it was still fun. The kids had a blast and I got to hang out with my new friend, Misty. She is pretty awesome:)   After the parade we went to a big BBQ at the park and went again the next day. The kids had so much fun!! They made new friends with some really sweet little girls, who turned out to be Brenna's Volly Ball Coach:)   Brenna spent Sunday night with us. The littles were super happy to have their big sister with them again. They miss her so much!! We all do!!   We spent about two ours looking at bedroom decorating idea on line.. It was a simple night... but really sweet!!!

Brenna is a 8th Grader!!!

Image
Just look at how beautiful this girl is!!!   Brenna's mother was "kind" enough to send Jeff a picture of Bren on her first day of 8th grade. My poor, sweet husband tried to put on a brave front, but I could tell that another piece of his heart broke. This is the second year that he missed her first day. This is a man that has always juggled his schedule to be there for everything he possibly could for Brenna. He was even at more school events then  her mother was at... And when Jeff was there.. He was there!!! All those moments meant and mean the world to him. All the sporting events.. Everything!! Even now, he does what he can to make it to Harper and be there for Brenna as much as he can. We are so happy that our Brenna is doing so well... But we sure miss her EVERY SINGLE DAY!!

Pre-School {Colt and Lilly}

Image
These two were so excited for their new school!!! The could hardly wait!   Colt's goofy little smile just melts me!!! I love that Colt said he wants to be a "Teenager" when he grows up..lol..   This little lady looks just a bit to grown up!!    This sweet boy picked me a flower when I picked him up.   This little lady was wiped out!! She stole her baby sisters binkie and was a sleep about a block away from the school.     They really LOVE their new school and their teachers. Lilly is in class with Koby and Colt with Blaze and they all see one another on the play ground. And they are both making some really good friends. I love seeing them excited to go to school everyday.
