Megan's Blessing

Baby Girl Niece was blessed yesterday. She's beautiful. Lucky for you all we had a major photo shoot afterwards. Now you all get to enjoy my fabulous family. Andrea and Savanna weren't there and Tanner was in New Mexico. They were missed. Megan looked beautiful!! Heather always has her dressed up. Heather made all her bows and headbands. They're my favorite part. Her white headband she wore yesterday is precious. She's such a sweet baby. Not that I've seen her in like a month because I kept getting sick and since she has already had a three day stay at the hospital with RSV I was banned from her. Anyway Megan Ruth Stradling was blessed yesterday (in a fabulous dress and headband) we're so happy to have her in the family. And we wish her luck with her three brothers. :)

Also the wind was insane!!! So in a lot of the pics we're trying to control our hair that was constantly in our faces.

I was really wanting a picture with all my nephews and my niece but Nate and Jack didn't share the dream. So Drew, Megan and I took a few cute ones.


I'm so in love with her.

Such a doll!

Blah Blah Blah

I'm just going to do a quick recap of our comings and going as of late.

Since last I posted:


Tanner was promoted at work. FABULOUS news. Super excited about that.
Megan (baby girl niece) was in the hospital with RSV. Not fabulous. She's home good as new now.
I got sick. Therefore not allowed to hold baby girl niece.
I thought I was invincible, I was sure I was going to make it the whole school year without catching anything. I was wrong. On our 100th day I was sick, but I had promised those kiddos everyday for the past 100 (school) days that we would have a partay. They are the BEST class ever so I simply couldn't let them down. Finished the day...... went home and CRASHED.

Scored at some garage sales. Those pics will come soon. Stay tuned to be amazed.

My Aunt Virginia passed away. Sad. She was probably the sweetest kindest person ever. It was a really nice service. I was mostly happy for her. She isn't sick or in pain anymore. Seeing my cousins say goodbye to their mom? SAD. She was only 64 (I think) her oldest grandchild is only 17. She had a lot of living and loving left to do. She was a sweetheart. I really enjoyed seeing all my cousins and aunts and uncles. I really do have a great family. My dad has 13 siblings. My cousins are uncountable. But I was able to remember pretty much everyone's names. (applauds all around) It was a nice day. Except for the part at the cemetery when my sister and I went to visit Kamber's grave. As we were walking away my heal got stuck in some mud and I fell. Yep. All the way to the ground. Good think my sweet little sister was there to watch me fall and then walk around in circles laughing at me. And good thing the six workers lowering a casket were also there to watch.

Lana said SHASTA!!!! Jackson was 17 months when he said it. Lana, 12.5 months. FABULOUS. This picture is of Lana and myself out garagesale...ing?? (not really a word) just a few hours before it happened. Have a mentioned how much I love her?



I have work tomorrow and Parent Teacher Conferences till six. Then I have to come home and get completely packed and ready so Tanner can drop me off at the airport at 5am. I'm meeting my gal Emily in NYC!!! Just a little girls trip we've been planning. So excited! SOHO excited!

And that my friends is that. Loves to all!!!!!
