A mix of photography, recipes, personal thoughts, faith, and lots of family stuff, but not necessarily in that order.

Memories etched in my heart

Two of our adult children have left the nest and gotten themselves married

the other one is still here... well sort of,

He's 19 and spreading his wings !

Our Children had, (and still have) lots of great friends and as our kids flew off....so did their friends. Some of them still show up from time to time, but less as the years go by.

As I was going through some old pictures the other day, I found some photos that reminded me how much I miss my kids and the friends. There were always kids around the house... I miss that !

Brianna and a few of her friends...


Cara, Danae & Brie


Chris-Brie-Stacie-Kelsey-Jeff

Hard to be serious for even a minute.

BFF's Brianna & Cara

Brice and his clan


Gavin-Hunter-Jay-Chris and Brice (front)

They are "special boys" Hunter, Brice and Chris P.

I'm pretty sure these four were joined at the hips . Jenny-Brice-Hunter-Logan

~This was a common occurance on the weekends

Gavin and the guys...

Make the food...and they will come :)Notice the snow... basketball was played all year long (and still is) Gavin - Cody -Andrew

The mexican pumpkin, Andrew & Gavin

Gavin and his band.... Practice in our living room was loud, but I loved it

Lets not forget about New Years Eve

For many years...

New year's Eve was always at our house...I miss that

Games to start the night


Then ending with the "ball dropping in Time Square

10...9...8...7...



Apparently, Brice and Jenny cant count

6... 5... 4... 3...2....
...1

Happy New Year !!!



and that's how it went.

It's fun to reminisce in old pictures... times change but the memories will always be there,and when I'm really really lucky, some of those kids show up at the door...I love that

    Sigh, there are SO many phases in life...weird huh. I miss lots of things too! You've always had a wide open house ready to make anyone feel welcome and comfortable. It's weird to think that someday I'll (hopefully) have kids and their friends hanging around the house! And, I would just like to point out, that I think New Years is still at your house, if I can scamper there in time from work! Sorry us lil' birdies have flew away, but aren't you just lucky that you come see you everyday, muahaha. LOVE YOU!!! You da best.
