Happy Birthday, Kaleia!!!

Okay, I have a confession to make. I was a very bad mom yesterday. I got so caught up in working, and then heading up to Kaleia's basketball game in North Platte and celebrating her birthday with her and Staci, that I totally forgot to make this post! (I know, no excuse, Kaleia).

I still totally forgot until I talked to my newly turned twenty year old daughter, until she told me she wasn't very happy with me. Whoops!! So I told her I would take care of this problem pronto!

This is one of Kaleia's senior pictures that I took...thanks Hanken's for the use of your yard!

Her senior prom.....

This picture is from Kirwin and I's farm when we had sheep....what a fun time we had!

Kaleia in her cuteness....

And as a newborn

Seriously though, I could not be prouder of this wonderful girl! She is a very sweet, giving, loving and fun girl to be around. We may have had our ups and downs, and she may have made some mistakes in her young life, but I love her very much and would not change one thing about her.

Happy Birthday! I love you!

It's official!!!!

The family got great news last night! My baby is having a baby!!!! Yay!

So I thought I would post a picture of Staci when she was a newborn.....

...and a picture of the proud parents to be!!!

Congratulations Matt and Staci!

Can you tell I might be just a wee bit excited?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIANE!!!!!

Happy New Year!!

It is hard to believe another year has flown by. My children are all getting older, yet I am getting younger! :)

Here is Kaleia and her puppy, Molly.

Seth and Kiane, both of whom I don't get to see near enough of anymore.
I was very fortunate to have all my kids home for Christmas this year, just so hard to get them to cooperate for a picture. I usually get 2 minutes to get any pictures taken before they are ready to be done!
We were lucky to be joined by Adam, Ki's boyfriend, who I think never really believed us when we told him before how small Palisade really was!

I noticed I didn't have any pictures of Cassidy now that basketball has begun. It is awesome that she is wearing the old number 24. Seth, Staci and Kaleia were all number 24 in high school...Kiane had to be #34, because she was the middle of the girls, and they had the number.

It is hard to think that Cassidy is just a semester away from high school!! My oh my.

Seth and Jared stopped by and wanted their picture taken with the new toy. Looks can be deceiving on this picture...there was barely any snow yet, so when they took off, they kicked up more of Palisade's dirt streets than snow. Boys will be boys. :)
