So, i bought myself a new camera and i quite like it! It's nothing too fancy, but it has provoked me to be better at actually taking pictures! Unfortunately, i haven't been so good at POSTING them for y'all! So here ya go...a little bit of everything for the past 2 months...enjoy! (i'm sure you can only imagine how long it took to upload all these darn things!)
Back at the end of November, Josh and i baby-sat his sister's kids for bit. (I can't officially call em my nieces and nephew yet, but you get the idea!;) ) we had a lot of fun with these kiddos..

Papa Kurt and Mamma Jill on Christmas Day!
Lol i had to share this one...this is our puppy, Mupper. she's an attention hog...so we have all sorts of fun with her.
The holidays were a bit rough this year. Dad passed away on Christmas Eve. I honestly don't have the words to describe how absolutely amazing his service was. The chapel was packed...and the procession was something you had to see to believe. We counted over 20 firetrucks in the procession with their lights flashing...they surrounded the building during the service and his fellow firemen and EMS crew greeted guests at the door. Dad was given a fireman's tribute. His casket was carried on top of the firetruck and fellow firemen were the pallbearers. At the gates of the cemetery, two firetrucks held a HUGE flag between their ladders. i wish i could express how proud i was...and always will be. dad was an amazing guy. I miss him every day, but i know he's always with me. i don't know what i would do without my testimony of the gospel..especially of the plan of salvation. it has brought me so much comfort to know that this is not the end for dad. i am sealed to him forever and i know without a doubt he is mine...FOREVER. I love you more daddy!
i love this pic! this is my niece hunter and my nephew damian...SO DANG CUTE!!
Here's baby Hurley..! he's getting so big!
Josh and i goofin off!
Zach would probably MURDER me with his bare hands if he knew i posted this next pic..but come on, you understand why i HAD to post it right?!
Here's zachy with grampee and grammee!
ha and me and my boys! they get along so well!
haha...seriously, i really don't think its possible for my family to take a 'normal' pic...to us, this is normal!
gotta love em!! :)
All in all...lately i've been reflecting on how lucky i am. i love my family more than anything. i am SO blessed and i need to acknowledge that more often. For the record...uploading these pics seriously tested my patience...i dont recommend waiting two months to update.
