Sibling Love

 
Love that my two kiddos love each other! Not always, but most of the time...
Morning hockey game on the deck.
 

Tiger game fun! It was their first baseball game!
Go Tigers!!



















Christmas 2013

Ferris State hockey game!  Go Bulldogs! #10 is our favorite!



I love to capture moments like these...





One of the best pictures, because the story of this is that they hi-jacked Grandma's iPad and took a bunch of pictures of themselves.  This was one of them!

It's All a Blur

It was just yesterday, I was taking her home from the hospital.  I was wondering if I would ever get a decent nights sleep again.  I was waiting for her to smile, say her first word, crawl, take her first step. 



Now, she is done with pre-school and is half way through kindergarten!

First Day of Kindergarten.... All the worrying I did over how she would adjust, once again she amazed me by exceeding all my expectations and squashing any reservations I had for her!
 
 


Even with our big move, she has excelled and astounded me. Her new school is amazing and she absolutely loves it!
 
All smiles for the start at her new Tennessee school!
 

 
How and WHEN did this all happen!??!  Where is my baby?  Who is this young lady?  We are so blessed to have her!




Who will she become?  How do we help her figure out her path?

 

 
 
One thing is for sure ~ She certainly knows what she wants and she has a wild side.  I gave her total freedom on picking out her new bedding... 
 

 

With all the family that my girl has in her life, I know she will never want for guidance, support or love. I'm grateful for all the help they give, and together we will make sure my girl grows to be the best she can! 
 

 
Love her!

Ten Years

Ten years ago today, I was in warm and sunny Las Vegas getting ready to say
"I Do"!
 
Ten years.... Yikes!

We were so young (a little nuts) and a lot in love!




It was so much fun!  People still ask me if I regret not having a "traditional" wedding instead of a destination one.  Honestly, to this day ten years later, I wouldn't change it!  It was so much fun, and the family and friends we had around us were wonderful.  So many good memories were made!


The fantastic group of friends and family that came out to celebrate with us!
One of my most favorite pictures of my brothers and me!  Love them tons!
My Dadda! He and my Mom are still my example of a good strong marriage!
 
Mo! Her strength and support have carried me more times that I will ever be able to thank her for!
 

Miss you every day Grandpa! You are my family's guardian angel!

Have the last ten years been easy, breezy, in total bliss the whole time.... Ha! A no. However, it might sound cliché-ish, but even at our very worst time, we wouldn't change that either.  It's made us stronger. It's definitely not been an easy road, it's been hard...hard work actually, but it's also nice to reflect today and think, "WOW! We did it. We got through it."  The good times have more than doubled out the bad ones.

And here we are, ten years later...

Two beautiful children!



A new adventure in a new state and a new home.

Still happy and still in love!


Here's to another ten years and counting....
