Our sweet angels...

When Trinity takes a nap, we usually play for a little bit, read a book or two, and then she lays down by herself. Today when I left her room I went downstairs to scrapbook a little- through the monitor I could still hear her playing in her room- "no big deal" I thought, "she'll settle down soon"...and I was right, before long I could hear her even breathing letting me know she had drifted off to sleep. When she woke up she came into the kitchen and I was greeted by a painted up face..."What have you been coloring on?" "My butterfly wings." "What else?" "I colored on my chin!" comes the giggling reply...ahhh, the joys of a two-year old! She keeps life interesting! Trinity & I of course talked about how you only color on paper (all the while I'm giggling inside myself!)...she knew what she had done wasn't right- she didn't want me to take her picture, but I finally coaxed her to...she does bring smiles to our faces!

While his big sister was coloring on butterfly wings and her face, Eli was sleeping sweetly and then was ready for a snack of graham crackers...hopefully his sister won't teach him her tricks!!

All dressed up and ready for church!

Elijah Ray- 11 months old- yes, I know, hard for me to believe, too, but it's true- our handsome boy will soon be a year old! His sweet face, big, blue eyes, adorable smile- it just makes me want to hug and kiss him all of the time! How God has blessed our lives!





A Very Special Day...

A couple of weeks ago we had the honor of seeing two of our nieces make a committment to Christ and be baptized- it was such a special day for our family!!

Whew, that was cold- but worth it!

Are you ready, Blakely?

Family Happenings

It's been a busy summer around Weskan- lots of happenings within the family...here are a few of the highlights...hope they make you smile!
Our beautiful nieces both lost teeth and are showing off their teeth-missing grins!
Shelly & Tracy celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in early August- 25 beautiful years together- everyone who knows them can tell right away there is something special about their marriage- we all learn so much by just watching how they love each other and their family! They're surrounded by their kids- Beau & Kari (the newlyweds!), Danica, & Gabe.

Summer isn't summer without a little porch sittin' on a warm summer evening. Eli enjoyed crawling all around Grandpa's feet!

More Wedding Pics

Trinity was so excited to dance the night away...thankfully, her cousin Danica obliged her wish!

That sure is a pretty flower, Grandma...I wonder what it tastes like...

Mommy & her prince.




The Wedding

The wedding party. It was such a beautiful wedding...full of love from family & friends! We're thrilled to welcome Kari into our family!

Eli entertaining Unlces Ty & Tracy before the wedding.
Trinity practiced walking up the aisle with Brennan & Blakely at the rehearsal...she has been so excited for weeks to walk up the aisle at Beau & kari's wedding in her Cinderella dress. When the moment actually came, she got scared...there were way too many people for our princess to walk down the aisle. She may not have made it down the aisle, but she sure did look cute all dressed up!







Rehearsal Dinner

Finally, the weekend arrived for our nephew Beau to marry a wonderful woman, Kari, in Beatrice, NE. We all loaded into cars and headed up north for the blessed event!
Some friends of ours have a little boy, Gage, 2 weeks younger than Eli. It was so funny to see them interact with each other. They'd babble and babble at/to each other as if they knew exactly what the other was saying!
Yummy- Daddy gives me the good stuff! Eli has his first taste of York, Peppermint Patti- needless to say, he liked it!
