Nate's First Haircut

Nate has always had crazy hair!!! His hair sticks straight up and at 7 months he needed a trim. I took him to Chatters in Bower Mall. He sat really good in the chair until a piece of hair fell in his face. Then, came the tears. This is a polaroid they took of him. It was well worth it because he looks so handsome with his new do!

Small Town, Big Dreams

My brother Michael is the strength and conditioning coach for the Pittsburgh Penguins. His dream came true when they won the Stanley Cup this year! August 22nd was his day with the cup and he shared it in Elnora with many friends and family. It was an unbelievable day and one our family will never forget!

Giraffes, Cows, Skunks and Witches Oh My!
