Congratulations, Mom! 

We're so proud of you and all that you do!

Sweet baby girl

 

So hard to believe that she's seven weeks old! 

Sheena & Bryan

09.17.11

My friends Sheena and Bryan got married last weekend! I played the piano for the ceremony and my mom made the cake (we both came out of retirement just for Sheena! Ok ... mom was retired. I never really had a "career" playing for weddings, but most of my friends are married so I figured I was retired!). It was a beautiful ceremony and the reception and dance was a blast!

Congratulations Sheena and Bryan! 

 The cake

 SO good!!

 The wedding party

 Serious discussion?

Lilli Jo and Grandpa

 The bride and groom! 

(He didn't know I was taking their picture!)

  Preston kept running behind the table wanting to give Sheena a kiss. 

He did, several times, but I wasn't fast enough with the camera.

 She got him back and he pretended to be all shy about it!

 Grandpa and Preston cuttin' a rug!

 Bryan, Sheena and their daughter, Amelie

 Allie and Sheena

That's Sheena's mom, Kris, to the left with Amelie and Lilli Jo. Kris was holding Lilli Jo and Amelie went up to her and said, "I know I can't hold her by myself, but can I hold her with you?" Too cute!

 Who knows.

 Preston ran himself ragged!

 I told her we were going to make goofy faces and she opted for sad.

 Allie and the bride, dancing away!

 Grandpa was out dancing with Allie and Preston all night!

 Grandma got in on the fun too!

My Chiefs Fans!

"I loved you yesterday, I love you still. 

Always have. Always will."

Five years ago today, Dustin and I tied the knot. 

We have since been blessed with two beautiful children and continue to have the love and support of our amazing families.

Happy Anniversary, Dustin. I love you!

Preston Goes to the Park

Monday was such a nice day that Preston and I headed to the park that's just across the street (kind of) from us.  :)

 Slides are fun!

 This slide made me a little nervous ... it's a LONG ways up!

Made me more nervous when he made me go up, and down, with him. Yikes!

And of course there was swinging!

Lilli Jo, Preston and more ...

 Sleepy baby

 BIG eyes!

All dressed up!

Preston "driving"

The other day he came up to me and said "I driving you nuts." How right you are my little man!! 

He does drive me nuts on occasion, but I love every minute of it!

 Finally got a picture of the four of us!

Me and my baby girl

 Lilli Jo hanging out with cousin Cyrus

The Beringer grandchildren

Cyrus found his feet and that was much more interesting!

Cyrus had a bath in the kitchen sink so of course Preston needed one too. 

Good thing Grandma Cindy has a big sink!
