Family and fun





















We got a surprise visit from grandma Kestner, Aunt Heidi and Aunt Kitty. It was a lot of fun and we did a lot of fun things while they were here. This is a picture of me and Grandma Kestner. I am wearing the dress that her mother made for her senior prom. She is an incredibe women and I am glad I can call her grandma!
















We went to cape lookout with the extended Kestner clan and had a lot of fun. Alaina was sitting behind me and playing in the sand because she was terrified of the surf. It probably had something to do with everyone screaming and running from it. Mean old mom and Dad made her later stand in the sand till the surf caught up to her so she would see it wasn't all that terrifying. She of course screamed the whole time. It did help her fear a little, although she still kept a very cautious eye toward the surf at all times.

Mom look!
















Alaina found some face paint that I use for scout
advancement and decided she would make herself
pretty. It was of course late, long after her brothers
were asleep and way past her bedtime. She wandered
out into the kitchen where Todd and I were on the computer
and said mom look!
















I just couldn't be mad, she was so very proud of
her wonderful accomplishment and thought she was
very pretty. So thus the posed pictures.















I asked her to show me her hands for the picture,
can you see the joy in her eyes.
