Colleen's Visit and the Hogle Zoo

Colleen came to visit for her birthday towards the end of February.

She was so good to play with Lincoln.

We went to the Hogle Zoo! Linko and Colleen were wore out! They had to take a breather while we were in the Giraffe pavilion.

Walking the zoo.

Colleen spoils all the babies. Even the furry ones. Koda, Bagheera, and Linko were in heaven.

Kiley and Link at the zoo!

 Siblings. Showing off our booties like the giraffe.

 Me and my brown bears. In another life I'd be a brown bear. 

Lincoln, Colleen, Me, Julianne, Kiley, Lexi, Alyssa, and Devin hanging out at Hogle Zoo!

While Colleen was here we also celebrate her 62nd birthday and took a trip to the new, giant Scheel's sporting goods store. We enjoyed having Grandma Colleen around. :)

Birthday Cake Practice

We celebrated Lexi's first birthday with her and Lincoln got some practice eating a big slice of birthday cake. He downed it. Gotta love the pink bib.

 The party gang!

The lively party crew! haha Cousins!

Best Friends for Over 15 years

Kohly and I were able to visit earlier this year and it was so great to let our cute boys play together while we visited. I love this lady and we always pick up like we've seen each other everyday.

Weddings and Blessings

This is Katie and I at her wedding in June 2012. I wanted to make sure I had it somewhere. Katie's one of my best friends and we've done a lot together. Before we were married to our spouses we were glued at the hip. 

I love this family picture we took at Jacqueline's baby blessing.

From Left to Right: Uncle Eddie, Auntie Ondra, Deven, Kiley, Alyssa, Lexi, Suzette (mom), Julianne, Devin, Jacqueline, Me (Kiersten), Sheehan, Lincoln, and Kevin (dad). 

Devin did a great job on the baby blessing. My mom rehearsed with him the proper way to hold up the baby after the blessing for the congregation to see her and the beautiful hand made dress Julianne made for her. Despite the rehearsal, we still got something that resembled this. Little Baby J had her dress all around her neck with her cute belly and tights showing. It was cute, and the whole congregation was giggling between their awe's.
