{bless this child}

we blessed our sweet ellie about a month ago. it was beautiful to have occur and always makes me feel better when my baby is blessed. we were so lucky to have all of our siblings able to attend and visit. i love both of our families and i don't know what i would do without them. anyhow, i finally go around to taking ellie's pictures in her blessing dress and so here they are showcased. also everyone should leave a comment as to their favorite and the winning picture will be posted in the sidebar.....

sundance rv decided to close up shop recently and we had to find a new job. luckily we were able to secure one quickly. after 6 years with sundance it was like going to the first day of school all over again. will we ever grow up? probably not.... but at least most people will keep every thought that comes to their minds to themselves, and we don't have to raise our hands to be excused from the lunch table. but he does have to wear a name badge.........

{sucker}

ellie found her thumb.....

by the way she sucks on it, it must be cherry flavored.....

{singing in the room}

the boys had a LAN {local area network} party at our house a few weeks ago and were rocking out to "gamer-music"  i couldn't resist taping them and really couldn't resist posting it...... welcome to my home!!!!

{happy father's day}

happy father's day to these three!!!!  even if it is late..... {better late than never}

{privacy please}

we have a large sliding glass door in our dining/ kitchen area... i have had the dilemma of dressing the window, because the dining room is so small. this fact alone, has caused me to tap the creative juices and come up with this solution that provides privacy & beauty {at least i think}, without cutting into my "space"

{loved}

i am loved this much by three of the sweetest girls to walk the planet.....
