I am so blessed to be apart of this family

These pictures were taken from Emmalyn's 2nd Birthday. It was not only a beautiful day, but a day that showed me how much this family really means to me!





We all love each other! 


Even the crazy Uncle Dane! 


Traditions are held and passed down to the next generation.



Janice pours her heart into everything she makes for us. Sunday dinners, birthday cakes, picture albums...She does not know the meaning of halfway!




Aunts and uncles are like second parents.


Cousins are good friends.


Wayne also goes above and beyond! Is loved, respected, and held in very high regard to all who know him.

 


We worry about each other!


And take care of each other when they get hurt or are in need!


We play, 


 play,


and play some more!


We stick up for each other!

 




Wenzel Mountain is an escape for us all! It's magical to have a castle, trail, playhouse, trampoline, electric play cars, and a beautiful view of this land God created!


And ALL are welcome to come, and feel the magic too! Except for the off-season, which is held sacred for just our

First hair cut




No more top knot. This 2 yr old has bangs! Feeling both sad, and excited. I've always had a hard time seeing my kids mature from one stage in life to the next. But they can't stay babies, toddler, kids, pre-teens for ever.Yikes my next adventure is TEENAGERS!! 


Will this family ever name me?

I guess my name is kitty, no calls by any other name. See what I have to go through every morning.......

I jump up on the couch to get mom's attention (she always forgets to feed me). Then this kid sees me.



Why does she always squeeze me? I don't need the Heimlich maneuver every morning!


If I'm patient she'll space out watching her SpongeBob cartoon. And if I'm really careful, I can sneak away!



 Not this morning. Rats, she caught me again. Mom HEEELP ME!! 

Seaside Basketball Tournament




Everyone had fun at the beach except M* who was sick with the stomach flu.
