New family pictures...

I smile when I look at these pictures...I remember the few frantic moments before we rushed in to get a few poses. It was time for new annual pics of the kids, so I thought Danny and I could get a pose or two with them. :) My first white blouse ripped down the front...the one I am wearing suddenly developed a spot on the collar after I had starched it...I had to rewash, dry and restarch. Oh, and then the whole "hair" thing. Oh well! LOL! We made memories of our lives in 2009! I DO love capturing my kids images/expressions/personalities as they grow~~~oh so fast! :( Thought that I would share a few...:)

2009 Family Pictures

Labor Day weekend(and Corey's 12th Birthday party)

Can't believe that our Corey is now 12 years old...just one more year before he is a TEENAGER! He is a great son and has brought us so much happiness! He's as thoughtful as can be.(It's so him to say...."Need a neck massage, Mom?" or "Can I get you a drink, Dad?") He keeps his room very clean (He routinely organizes his closet and drawers...I'm thinking a future wife will love this! LOL!) He is diligent about having devotions and loves God very much. He is full of fun facts on a variety of subjects...he makes conversations interesting around our house! Oh, and he still loves creepy~crawlies! What would we do without him??? :) We had fun celebrating at Rascal's Fun Zone on Friday...
The rest of Labor Day weekend was spent at Becky(Danny's sister) and Dan's house in beautiful WV...We had a superb time and made great memories! They are fantastic hosts. Their property is a backyard paradise...Our kids enjoyed the 4-wheeling, etc. Becky fixed a ton of delicious food, too...I do believe we ate the entire time we were there! (I need to get some of those recipes, Becky! :)) I am also sharing pics of our time there...
