Jaxon (18 days)

I do not think there are words to express the overwhelming feeling of joy and love I had when first meeting this little guy. My heart is so full and I am so thankful that my husband and I got to drive out to Texas and spend a few days getting to know our grandson. I've told everyone that I didn't know I could love so much...and I know that love will only grow stronger over the years. My stepdaughter is glowing and such a good little mother...We are so proud. Nothing in the world can compare to this...sheer joy.

Ashley & Cody's Wedding...August 29, 2009 Fillauer Lake House & Barn

I have lots of favorites to post from Ashley and Cody's wedding last Saturday evening. It was such a beautiful wedding...despite the afternoon thundershowers that threatened to move the wedding indoors. Around 6:40pm the clouds disappeared, the rain stopped and the wedding went on as planned. The reception was incredible...food by Sticky Fingers...music by Jared Elledge. Lots and lots of dancing and celebrating with friends...I don't think I've had that much fun in twenty years. There was joy and whole lot of love for the bride and groom by everyone that attended. I will have to admit that I didn't know Cody & Ashley could dance so good but let me tell you...they never stopped dancing the entire night. It was such a memorable night...one I won't ever forget.

This was Ashley's time to shine as she joined the band for one of her favorites...Big Green Tractor.

I love the peace sign Ashley is giving as they make their getaway...barefoot and loving it!!!!
