| When I took my oldest on a date and completely lost him to technology... | 
| When we got a new cat and named her Alice. Ali for short. | 
| When we went to my cousin Mandie's baby shower in Hutchison, KS. | 
| When I decided I deserved to make it into SOME pictures. | 
| When we randomly went to goof off and learn about the Swanee Trail. | 
| and I can't get enough of those eyes and smile. | 
| And he couldn't get enough dress up. | 
| That day I had to distract the kids for 6 hours while Shannon set up their new bunk beds. | 
| Obviously it was torture. | 
| And they loved the new bunk beds. | 
| And the new kitty cat. | 
| This was Joy's face after she brought a live bird in the house. And I removed it. | 
| Mommy will you take a picture with me? | 
| That first big book he read all on his own when he was 4. | 
| My big helper. | 
| Those yummy snowcones. | 
| My trip to Waco with Sarah. | 
| When Adam caught his first fish with Papa. | 
| And Colin got a special day off, so we had lunch with Daddy. | 
| And then we went shoppping. | 
| Because she simply can't keep her tongue in her mouth. | 
 
| .... because raw broccoli is just THAT good. | 
| And why I love warm Saturdays... | 
| I just love it when Shannon does her hair. | 
| And more love for our new kitty. | 
| You know she's begging for my salad. | 
| And Adam's birthday cupcake.... | 
| His Celebration of Life Ceremony at school... | 
| Showing his poster of all the years of his life. | 
| Eating his birthday dinner as Superman. | 
| His new golf clubs so he can go golfing with Daddy. |
