So GRATEFUL for moments like these...

Over the last couple of days I have been thinking about the last year, ok maybe the last 18 months. Stephy comes home in 43 days, not that any of us are counting (we may or may not have a paper chain hanging in the living room) and the funny moments that have taken place...


These were taken during our family staycation just before Steph left.

Char at the State Fair...we were all off of sugar. Dad decided (maybe us kids) that it wouldn't be the State Fair if we didn't have any funnel cake. So we did. ( I think this was taken cause Char had powered sugar all over his face...)
Sometimes my Dad gets in really great, funny moods. We were leaving to my Gramms for Christmas eve dinner and her pulls out his cowboy hat and poses for a photo. He made some kind of comment....wish I could remember it.
At Gramms for our hot dog roast. Christmas eve wouldn't be Christmas eve without our hot dogs, macaroni salad, and potato chips. (not the greatest pic of me...but is a funny one)
New p.j.'s....
Our sweet baby girl just keeps getting bigger. When we get the camera out she is very interested and will stare into the lens. We sometimes get a good one where her eyes are open and she is smiling.


Matthew too loves the camera. He knows how much we love his Squinty eyes, we will usually do them without us asking.
At my Dad's birthday this year, Charlie and Hannah decided to have a whip cream fight. It was SO FUNNY!! I don't remember exactly what happened, but they both made a comment to my parents about there son, or daughter in law who was making a mess. (they are probably going to be mad that these are up, but it was one of those moments that just puts a smile on my face. they are genuine faces!)

I couldn't resist...
This was at the Lamb burn. It is a reunion with all my Grandpa Mickelsen's brothers and sisters. It is always enjoyable. Brooklyn was letting Gramm love her. My Dad loves this pic because it a genuine smile from my Gramm. (Gramm loves pics, just not of herself)
This is at the State Fair this last fall. The wind was blowing...It would be a really great pic of Ashy and I....
