My Baby girl is 5!!!

August 11, 2002 seems like yesterday. How fast 5 years have slipped by.

Abbey climbed into bed with Mandy and me Saturday morning and said,

"I feel bigger since I'm 5" We had a great birthday party for her she got the

little puppy "she's always wanted." What an doll.

Happy Anniversary to Brent And Mandy 11 Years..

Today Mandy and I celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary.

I cannot express with simple text how much I love this girl. She means everything to me. When I was a young fellow I would have dreams of what being married would be like and in my fondest dreams I could never have imagined how wonderful being married to Mandy would be. I spend everyday with someone I love and she loves me I also have every confidence that "in sickness ,health, richer, poorer" she will be with me..

I remember the first time I met Mandy: it was a Wednesday night she and her aunt visited my church. She was so beautiful. We met on Wednesday night and oddly enough four years later we were married on Wednesday night. The secret to our sustained happiness and devotion to each other is our relationship with Jesus. We both know where our strength comes from, we are sure that in every situation God is directing our path and we want to be obedient to the perfect plan He has for our lives. I am very thankful to my Savior for giving me the perfect wife.

Happy Birthday Bryant July 9th

Great cake made by Bryant's mom. She is a miracle worker
Due to Bryant's allergies Mandy had to make some adjustments in
the cake recipe. Look at that beautiful cake can you believe that it
has no eggs or milk in it. It was actually not bad. Mandy is a miracle
worker. I am so lucky to be married to her. She planned a great party for our little man.

This was his first chocolate experience he looks eager.

this is after he had a couple hits of the chocolate
I think he liked it.

Lovely boy 1 year old....

Little Lady

Happy Birthday USA! Abbey and I had a late night
fireworks show on the fourth. Sparklers were her favorite.
We lit up what seemed like 1000 sparklers.

I had a few days off a couple weeks age Abbey and I
went to "play park" for a few hours of play.

This was taken Easter Sunday morning we were walking
home she just peeked around at me and I snapped this
beautiful shot.
