Welcome to the next chapter...

SENIOR  Y E A R !!!!!!
Woot woot.

So excited.  So many things I could say about how this kid is way WAY smart and ALREADY doing an internship at Cerner and he's STILL in high school and how AMAZING his mom is....aughhhh.

I love moms who are open to letting other people in on the life of her children: who see the value in lots of people loving and encouraging her children. Very wise.

We enjoyed the last nice weather day of 2014. Gooooood times.

Going to the chapel....

Congrats. Muah! Getting hitched, and we're thrilled for you two love birds.

Had so much fun with you all today!

Tee hee. This one resulted in a sap covered arm.

Fooooooooooouuuuuuurrrrrrrr.

You know, when you hear "FOUR"...you better watch your nogg'in. Meet Jalen. He's been golfing since he was SIX years old. He is so very polite and kind and smart as a whip. It was MORE than breezy this morning, and very chilly and he tolerated like a champ.

Congrats on your senior year Jalen.

Dribble dribble, shoot shoot...

Graduating and a star basketball player. Congrats on your senior year!

This beautiful couple have been an item for 7 years and ..... they are going to tie the knot. I had such a great time with these two gorgeous love birds.

We are family!

(insert tune here)
We are family! All my brothers sisters and me....

AMEN TO THIS!  I love quotes and I love my family and I love this family too. This fits us both to a tee, and I'm blessed to know this family and photograph all of their cuteness.

"Family isn't always blood. It's the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile, and who love you no matter what."  - Unknown

As buddies from nursing school, we share the same drive to teach our kids this very thing. Muah, love you Danielle.

"True maturity, is learning to think more about others than yourself; it is looking at the world through unselfish eyes, trying to see how you can build up others and make a positive difference for them, putting yourself in their place and showing understanding and compassion."
