What a great group

While Courtney and Eric are enjoying a Jamaica honeymoon, I'm working feverishly to get pictures of the beautiful wedding day posted at www.Pictage.com (enter Albright Kimsey Wedding). Madison Street Methodist is such a regal setting and affords so many opportunities for photos, we got carried away. Here is one of my favorites of the group, so far.

My first born is 4th from the left and will be getting married next summer. Jordan and Courtney have been best friends since kindergarten. Time sure does fly when you're raising great kids.

Just Beautiful

In a 'hot' bridal shoot, descriptive of the temperature and the bride, Courtney looked beyond fabulous. Here is a teaser, as it would just be wrong (I think) to post all bridals before the wedding.

Speaking of hot...her mom Debbie aided in the dressing and my daughter Jordan assisted with finishing touches. What a cute trio.

Sunday

My neighbor's boston terrier, at least I think that's what he is, came over for an ear scratch Sunday morning. He must have known how much I miss Mallory on Sunday mornings with my coffee on the porch. Mallory was about 14 years old when she moved on to dog heaven this spring.

He was an excellent visitor and as all the family members showed up for lunch, they all talked to him and said how well behaved he was.

The cat was not amused, however. She was less than thrilled about him using her personal space on the front porch.

Sunday was also bridal portrait day for my daughter Jordan's BFF Courtney. I'll post some of those later. She is a beautiful girl! The wedding is Saturday and Jordan will be in it. What a bonus for me. I can hardly wait.

That's a bunch of Paschalls

The annual Paschall reunion, held June 17th, drew relatives from several surrounding states. The gang settled for a photo after a big ole lunch and lots of visiting.

Bears, oh my!

Our trip to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone allowed a grizzly bear sighting. Juli and Sam were so excited...almost as much as me and Terry! So, anyway, out she came.... ...followed by her two cubs; what a bonus. So naturally, we took gobs of pictures...
...along with 300 other tenderfoots. Still, it was great fun and she didn't seem to mind all the attention.

Sam and Terry and Juli posed for a photo at Jackson Lake Lodge (thanks to cousin Carol for the hook-up) in front of the Grand Tetons mountain range.
The four of us hiked a short trail to the Yellowstone Lodge overlook at Yellowstone's geyser area. We highly recommend Jackson Lake Lodge to anyone who is traveling that direction. There is no television, so we all stayed up half the night playing cards at the main lodge. It was great fun. We'll have to rest up and do it again sometime.

Baylee's Baptism

Pastor Ken carried Baylee down the aisle while the congregation sang Jesus Loves Me.
Everyone is happy here except the guest of honor. It's dinner time for her. This is Ashlee's family visiting at Sango Methodist for little Baylee's baptism. It is also Father's Day and Pastor Ken's last Sunday at Sango. He's moving to Erin next Sunday and will be greatly missed.
Wow! The whole gang...Baylee's parents, grandparents and great-grandparents and aunts and uncles. There's a whole lot of love in this room.

Boys will be...

Hayden and Ethan, hope those are spelled right, are a pure delight to their mother, Erinne. I collected the images of the boys and their cousin, Wells, for a 'day in the life' (more like an hour, as the pizza had arrived, hee hee) photo session. They are soooo active.
