Sydney & Adam

Sydney...engaged and now married! 

Using her photo from their wedding announcement, I painted Sydney and Adam this 5x7 picture. I figured she could display it on a shelf or in her sock drawer... I'll never know😊

Their Wedding Announcement Photo

 I helped with her bridal shower and was mainly responsible for the invites. I painted a card with flowers and added words using Photoshop. Thanks Jennifer, for helping me learn how to use Photoshop and thanks Spencer and Landon for helping me hand deliver the invites.

Super Cooper...Floating & Quoting

While Kristi and Jen were both here with their kids we went 

fishing and floating at Warm River. 

A river? Yes! 

Warm? No!

It's cold. All the more reason for Cooper to float with two inner tubes, 

one stacked on top of the other!

Speaking of Cooper, I've wanted to post this video of him for 2 years, ever since he surprised his family by quoting from memory "The Living Christ". He wasn't quite 4 years old! He heard his parents and two older brothers (age 6 & 8) memorizing this, but they had no idea he was memorizing it too! Nate caught him on video while on a visit to their home.

I'm so proud of you Cooper!! 

I cut this video down to make it easier to upload, but he had memorized the whole first paragraph! This is just a small portion of it. You can click this link to read the whole document: The Living Christ.  

Here are a few photos of the grand kids floating:
