Family Pictures 2015

We wanted to have some family pictures done before Mike left for Saudi.

I also really wanted to get some with Sasha, and I knew she hadn't been doing so well.
I'm really glad that we did this.
My sweet friend Kristy Lee took our pictures.

Thought I'd share some of them.

 It's especially wonderful to me that we have these pictures with Sasha
since she is no longer with us.

Happy Everything!

I wanted to do something for Mike before he left for his deployment to the Middle East.

I decided that I would do a Happy Everything send off party.

(something I had planned to do for him the first time we thought he was deploying

but then he ended up not having to go)

Anyway...with the help of family and friends we successfully surprised him.

I wanted something to represent the things he would miss while he was away.

 I think it turned out pretty well, and it was fun to see some friends we hadn't seen in a while.

I didn't get pictures of everyone who came...I wish I had, but here are a couple pics I did get.

 We also took the opportunity to have my dad snap some family photos for us.
I love Isaac's bare feet in this one.
