The wedding of the year!!!

This was such a beautiful event!

My sister and Dievo got married on march 1st! Yay!

Charelle and Dievo are so meant for one another! Charelle is such an amazing woman, and Dievo is such an amazing guy!

They compliment eachother so well! Charelle I am soooo happy for you! I can truly see how happy you are, and how happy you both are!

I'm so happy you found eachother!

This is for you!

I love you both!

They both looked so good that day!

And the place where the wedding was held was so beautiful!

Getting ready! Charelle asked me to do her hair and makeup! And I gladly did it!

It was so fun for me and I will always remember it!

Thank you Charelle!

She had me make her wedding jewelry to!

Turned out beautiful for a beautiful bride:)

I wish we had some better close ups of it! It really was pretty!

And the big moment yay!

Dievo is full German! His father is a bishop in a German ward!

So his father married them, at first he spoke to them in German infront of us all which was really neat!

It was a beautiful ceremony!

Our little family!

Danielle was such a good little baby all night!

Had to throw this in! love her face!

My boys!

 The pic above turned out bright but it was just so cute so I had to add it in!

Hahahahaha love this one!

One of my favs of these two! So sweet!

Keith would hold both Vander and Braylee's (Charelle's little girl) hands and twirl them around!

They sure got a kick out of it and wanted it over and over!

With uncle Brian! She will sit so good with anyone!

I snuck up on Vander to take these pics of him just looking at the cake! It was so cute!

Then he put his little hand out to softly touch one!

 Look at him just stare at it! He did get to enjoy it to:)

Oh this was so cute and I had to snap this picture fast incase they stopped doing it!

Little Braylee and Vander dancing! It was sooo sweet!

Me and mom!

I can't get over how sweet this picture is!

I am sooooo happy for you! You deserve all good things and more!

Charelle's SURPRISE Shower!

So we threw Charelle a surprise wedding shower! It was so fun sneaking around her haha! She thought she was going to dinner with all us sisters and my mom! She walked into my sister's house and SURPRISE!!!

There was EVERYONE friends, family there to greet her as she walked in all casual on her phone not even excpecting what was going on!

It was fun!!!

Lots of yummy food!

Four in One

So yes this post is four in one! Obviously meaning there are four different events in this one post! Alot happened in the month of February!

My dad's birthday the 13th

Valentines Day 14th

Our Anniversary 23rd

 I threw on New Years Eve cause I realized I never posted it!

I really wanted to keep up the month of Feb. but it just got crazy!

But in my defense, yes this is a very long post but, the actual events aren't long so therefore

it wouldn't have been a long post on it's own!:)

See I'm getting there!

Just enjoy our crazy fun month of Feb.

Happy 70th Dad!!!

We had a fun party for my dad's 70th! my dad is such a good father and has always done so much for his children! He is a very hard worker and has been all his life! He has been through alot, born and raised in Holland, he came to America at the age of 14 not knowing any English at all! His family came to America after WWII and Holland was destroyed.

My dad has AMAZING touching, tear jerking stories about his childhood and what him and his family went through!

Dad you really are an amazing individual. Thank you for ALL you have done for us all!

I love you.

This was Vander watching his papa with his cake while we were singing happy birthday!
 Vander thought it was fun to watch papa blow out his candles!

So this would be my son walking around in Cinderella shoes that are his cousin Braylee's lol!

And you know what?! He actually could walk around in them really good! I was impressed! Don't worry! This will not be a habit!

My little buddy head!

My little miss Pete!

My aunt Barbra and my mom

I love watching these two wrestle around! It's so sweet!

hahahaha ok so all my nephews thought it was pretty cool that Danielle was just chillin with the boys! They even put a hat on her!

For my dad's birthday, all of us kids got him a really nice watch because he said that he had never really had a nice watch! So we got him this one and got it engraved on the back that said, We love you dad love your children. We had it engraved in dutch! That made it all the more special!

And he loved it!

Mom and dad and brother and sisters

I love my family

And Vander and Danielle LOVE their papa

This is one of my favorite pics with their papa!

Love you daddy!

Wish you many many happy years to come!

Happy Valentines

I had to start this with this picture!

 It was the sweetest thing watching buddy hand sister a rose on Valentines!

And YES he put the rose in his mouth on his own! I didn't tell him!

I'm just glad I was quick and captured it! lol I love it! 

He put these hearts on himself!

They were on my sisters window and he took them off and stuck them on his face!

Oh my little princess head!

with grandma!

LOL I love his little imagination!

 I always just wonder what's going through his head!

Trying to take a picture! but I do think this is funny! Buddy!

My little Valentine

With both my Valentines!

Keith wasn't with us on Valentine he had to stay behind and work:(

But when we got home I came inside to a clean house and with a little surprise for his two girls!

Yes he even made up a little flower vase for his little princess head! It was SO CUTE!

Keith is always doing such cute surprises for me! Also he knows I love them:) Thank you babe! I love you SO MUCH!!!! MUAH!

Danielle was so happy!

She loved her pretty flowers from daddy!

Our 3 year Anniversary

I can't believe it's already been 3 years! These last 3 years have been incredible!

It's funny to say that in 3 years we have had TWO kids! And I have loved every minute of everything! Well maybe not all the throwing up from being pregnant but everything else has been great!:)

 We were going out for dinner and the kiddos were staying with papa and grandma!

But we wanted a quick picture, and I love Vander in them! Danielle was asleep! I love how he is looking up at me in this picture! I just love him! You can tell he loves his mommy and daddy and he is so happy they met!

Below,

 just a few fun memories from that special time!

I love you Keith SO MUCH!

You are my best friend and I know we were truly meant for one another!

You make life so great and I look forward to all the years to come!

I am so thankful for you and our two beautiful children that we have been so greatly blessed with!

I love you.

New Years Eve

This was just a fun little family night!

It was fun for us all to put little hats on and have our little fire crackers which was Vander's favorite part!

And were all ready for bed at midnight!

Even sissy got in on the fun!

Vander just loved the fire crackers!

And we would say ready set and he would yell GO! And pop!

Happy New Year!!!

I really am looking forward to this year! I really am striving to do better and be better in a couple different things! But most important is family. I know I always say this, but there is nothing more important to me than my family and making sure everything is always the best I can make it! Of course we have our challenges/trials and struggles at times, who doesn't?! But my goal is to make everything the best I can, and to always think of and remember the blessings that I/we have been given rather than dwell on what we want and may not have at this time. I never pray without giving my gratitude for all the blessing we have.

I hope this year gets better and better!

So many fun and great things have taken place so far! which a couple you just saw!

Still to come:

My sister wedding!

Our CRUISE!

Check back!
