February was spent taking pictures of this beauty

and getting ready for the big day!


In March we celebrated Ashy and Spence!

The Sealing was beautiful,

Ashy looked fabulous,

Spence was a handsome groom.

The reception was beautiful

It was a special day!

April brought birthdays for Steph and I...

I graduated in May

Thanks to all that helped me reach this goal!

It was a nice night

I then jumped on a plane with these beauties to the Dominican Republic.

We spent 7 days doing whatever we wanted.

It was a great way to celebrate the end of an era

June and July were spent going to Family Reunions,

going to the Oakley rodeo,
and endless days at Lagoon.

First the Phillips reunion.

The Phillips never disappoint

Grams chocolate fudge cupcakes are always a favorite

Next the Lamb BurnThis chest of drawers/files was my Grandpa's

We decided it should be in Chesterfield

where he grew up

here it is in the museum

For Matthew's birthday in June, he and I got to spend an afternoon at 'Magoon'

Many summer afternoon's were spent riding rides,

over and over again.
