An Eruption of FUN!

That's right ladies...my husband made this for my birthday! It not only tasted superb - but give this guy a hand for his creativity skills! Nice.


For my 28th Birthday, we celebrated with a Pool Party and BBQ. It was lots of fun to share my birthday with such remarkable friends.



Gracie enjoyed relaxing in Izaac's boat.

Thanks Josh for being the photographer in the Janelle/Brittany Photo-Shoot. Next time remind me to look at the camera! :)


I really am blessed to have the greatest friends in the world...people who really inspire me. I'm glad I was able to celebrate with many of you!

Sand In Between Your Toes!

This past weekend, we got together with some friends Jody has known for years. We had a picnic by the Lake at Daybreak. The babies loved playing in the sand. Here Gracie and Maycee are chatting it up!


Jodes, KC, and Jeff


Whistle while you work!


Don't let their faces fool you...They really were LOVING this!


It was a gorgeous sunset behind the lake.

Some Cheese with those Cherries...

This has been the ONLY happy story I have covered while at 2news. Now I understand that unfortunately the news is merely educational most generally by using tragic stories to prove points and give reminders. So I feel terrible posting such horrific stories where people have lost their lives...just so you can see me reporting.

Therefore - you get the "Cherry Story." Needless to say - it was a slow news day. And I was thrilled to be doing a story where everyone was living and no one was hospitalized. So it may seem I'm a little cheesy...truth is...I was just grateful it was a story with a happy ending.

Some of My Favorite Things...


Walks with No Particular Destination...



Baby's Blue Eyes...


Forever Families...


Watching Gracie Discover Life...


Knowing Gracie Knows Who to Come to When She Needs Help...

We had our Family Pictures taken last month, and these are some of my favorites!
