RIP Austin Labato

This picture is definitely a few years old...but it's a classic of me, Megs, and Austin.  

We lost a great friend today, and the world got a little darker.  After a long weekend of fighting hard to recover after a motorcycle accident, Austin Labato has gone on to a better world.  The one thing I will miss most about Austin?  His infectious laugh.  His heart is being donated to someone in need.  All I can say is, that person is getting the best!  We sure will miss you Austin!  And our thoughts and prayers are with the Labato family.

Brad and I just booked a cruise for the end of April!!  This is my graduation present...or at least we are using that as an excuse.  These are the places we get to go:

Cococay, Bahamas

St. Thomas

St. Maarten

I'm excited, because I've never been to any of those stops before.  And this is the boat we will be on:  

It's called Freedom of the Seas.  It is a monstrous boat, and I'm so excited to go on it!  Happy Graduation to me!!!

With the New Year and the addition of another grandkid, my mom thought it was a good idea to get another family picture.  Haley Warner, the most amazing photographer ever, was able to be in town to do our pics!  Here are some of my favorites!

My moms face in this picture is priceless.  So is Owen's (Middle child)

The girls.

These kids aren't a handful at all..

Mack and Kaitlyn...so cute.
