Trip back home.

This past weekend we made an unscheduled trip home for a funeral of a family member. It was an emotionally exhausting trip. One of my uncle's took this picture of Thayer and I relaxing before the KSU game on Saturday. The tremendous outpour of support for my aunt's family amazed me. I will continue to cherish every moment that God is giving me and know that it can be taken away at any second. Remember to tell other you love them, because it may be the last time you see them!

Valentine's flowers.

These flowers are what Linley and I created with the wonderful help of my sisters and mom for her to take to her valentine's at school. They turned out great but took quite some time.

My Valentine's.

Priceless.

Of course this is how the picture turns out when you have 4 adorable kids and 2 parents with cameras...you never know what you're going to get.

Our silly husbands,

always gotta be doing something to ruin a good photo-op

Sarah Palin comes to Kansas.

Eating at Brookville
Heading off to Salina to their Chamber dinner where Sarah Palin was the featured speaker. The tickets were a gift from Carol and Terry for Kip's birthday. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised and had a great time. Due to security issues they weren't allowing you to bring cameras in, which is why we took pictures at dinner in Abilene. I'm not sure if I'll attend another political event soon, but it was quite an experience that I'm glad I got to share with Kip.

Kip's Birthday.

Happy 31st hottie! The kids and I love you so much and hope you have a fantastic day:)
