Reese @ 9 months

She was a surprise....she was delivered at 32 weeks....she weighed  3.5 lbs.....she spent a month in the hospital.....Her name is Reese. I finally got down to Norman to take pictures of Reese and we had a windy but beautiful day. Pictures are so much prettier when the trees are green and flowers are blooming. Reese did great on her first photoshoot, Mom did a awesome job picking out just the right outfits and Daddy was just smitten with his little girl!! Thanks Billy, Keerstin, and Baby Reese for a fun day and for letting me take some pics of your precious girl!!

The Girl's Birthday Party

Happy Birthday Kyla and Maggie!! I can't believe Kyla will be turning 6 on April 25th and is going into the 1st grade in the fall! It seems like just yesterday we got the call that we would be getting a little girl. I can remember the moment I saw her for the first time....I was in disbelief that I was going to get to be the Mother of this little beautiful baby!! I love you my sweet girl!

And Maggie Blou...our wonderful surprise! Finding out I was pregnant was a shock, but having you to love is one of the best things in my life!! You are as funny as you are sweet! Thank you for all the laughs!! I love you cutie!!

My good friend Jen has started her own business making cakes!! She is awesome at it and I can always count on her to not only make a cute cake but a delicious one as well. Her business is "Cakes with Sass" and you can find her on Facebook!!

My girls LOVE to play dress up, so I thought it might be fun to have a "Dress-Up" basket. The girls were so cute putting different hats and shoes on!!

Here are all the girls that came. We had so much fun! Look at Kyla...I think I might have a diva on my hand!

Peyton and Devyn came over after the party for a sleepover. The girls have so much fun with each other. They played dressup, watched movies, played outside, and went to Ky's soccer game.

My favorite part of the night!!

 She looks like she's going to the Kentucky Derby!!

Hanging out with Thomas

Thomas came home for a few days, so we all got together to hear him tell us about some "Navy" stories!! He is making us all so proud! He is now in Norfolk, VA and will be out on his ship by July. I can't believe the youngest of all us grandkids is serving!! Another great thing that is happening in our family is that we should have another cute baby girl soon!! Layken will be born sometime in April and we couldn't be happier for John and Ashley!! Congratulations you guys!!

She is turning one.....

She is turning one...I can't believe it!! I couldn't love or be more thankful for this sweet little girl in my life! I love you baby Sophia...please stay ONE forever!!

The Ketner's

This is Tyler, Nicole, and Lincoln Ketner. Tyler is one of our first kids in our first youth group almost 10 years ago!! We have always stayed in contact with him and he is very special to us! He married sweet Nicole about a year and a half ago and they got pregnant soon after! So this is 5 month old Lincoln. Isn't he the sweetest!! His eyes are beautiful and he is so fun! We got together to take some family pics the other day and I had so much fun with all of them! Thank you Tyler and Nicole for letting me take some pictures of your sweet little family! I had a blast!
