Our Mini Family Reunion

My cousin Heather, daughter Katie and Katie's friend Haley stopped by on Saturday on their way to Illinois. We were unable to make it to the family reunion this year so it was nice to see Heather & Katie. I always laugh when Heather is around.

The pictures were taken after church on Sunday.

Brandon after speaking at mom's church

While we were in Tennessee, Brandon spoke briefly after Pastor Miller finished the church service regarding his past and what the Lord has done for him. We're so proud of how far he has come.

Nickey's Horse Show

Brandon and I went to Tennessee this past weekend to watch Nickey in her horse show. She did a great job. She herself would have liked to have done better, but we thought she did great. Even Brandon went for a horse ride. He hasn't been on one since he was probably 7.

Cody after muddin

Cody is my redneck. You would think he'd been raised down south. He loves to go muddin and then let the rain wash the mud off his truck in my driveway. Ahhhh.....just wait till he has kids!!!

Brandon at church

I'm so proud of Brandon. He's gone to hell and back, but he's cleaned his act up. Thank the good Lord above!!!! He's now playing drums for our church. The group that he plays with surprised him with a new set of drums. He loves playing for the church. I cry every Sunday morning watching him and thanking God for getting him straightened out.

My pride and joy!!

Brandon and Cody. Acting goofy as usual.

Nikki & Cody

This is my niece Nikki and Cody on the way to Gatlinburg in March. We had fun that day. Just messed around in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Seveirville.

I miss spending time with Nikki now that she and Brad have moved down to Tennessee.

Cody & Dylan

Cody and Dylan have played soccer for over 10 years. They have played on teams against each other and played on the same team for a couple years. I can remember when they were younger and we'd go to the game, there would be Dylan. I'd always dread having to play his team because he was always so good and hard to catch.
