Being Comforted

As you can see, Brian is being comforted by a pink bunny, while he was sick.

Brian was sick with a head cold on Thanksgiving weekend.

This was the only way he was going to get comfort besides his family.

Awe, ain't that just cute, a grown man still sleeping with a pink stuffed bunny.

Happy Halloween

We just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Halloween!

I hope that everyone was able to get enough sweets yesterday.

Parents with babies, I hope you were able to get yourself some candy too.

Brogan's Blessing

We blessed Brogan on October 12th. We had a lot of family members that came. Below you will see their pictures. We did have one family member that was not present, but we forgive her. Stacy, Marc Tharp's wife, was giving birth to their third daughter, Mae Tharp, that morning. We appreciated everyone that made the trip, especially with the weather that hit us early that morning.

Our beautiful family: Kim, Brogan, Brian, & Katie

This is Kim's family: Jon, Katie, Aryn, Marc, Adam, Dominique, Emily, Dale, Luke, Dori Ann

This is Katie standing outside Sunday morning before Brogan's blessing.

You can just see how much snow we received.

This is what it looked like in our backyard.


Just take a look at how much of the snow is on the car's.


Katie was so anxious to go play in the snow.

You can see it is almost to her knees.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE!

Katie turns 5 today. I can't believe that 5 years has already passed. She is our angel and our sweetheart. She is always willing to help out around the house and a really big help to her mother while she takes care of her new baby brother, Brogan. She just started Preschool and enjoyed a day with cupcakes there today. She loves to ride her bike around the neighborhood and say "HI" to any and all strangers. She is a very big people person. She loves to play Mario Cart with her Dad & Mom. She actually is really good at it. She loves the computer and is learning new things every day on the computer. We just recently went to Applebee's for a date night as a family, and she asked for the corndog kids meal. We got it for her and ever since, she has wanted to go back to Applebee's to get the corndog. She doesn't want one out of our freezer. As you can tell, her smile is contagious. She is our bundle of joy.

WE LOVE YOU KATIE!

(This pictures is when we were feeding the ducks at a park just down from our home)

We are going to celebrate her birthday tonight as family, but tomorrow is the big test when there are girls in the neighborhood who want to come celebrate her birthday. She wanted a Disney Princess party and that is what she will be getting. We will post pictures once it has happened.
