Quick Trip Home

I know it's been forever since I have posted anything, but I have made it my goal to update at least every two weeks. Justin and I made a quick impromptu trip back home to Rensselaer on Sunday. The reason we came home is my best friend (Russell) father had passed away. Doug was an amazing person and I see so many characteristics of him in Russell. I wish the trip would have been on better terms, but it does make you realize that every minute you spend with family & friends is valuable. Please keep Russell and his family in your prayers.

When we came home on Sunday my Aunt Glenda was hosting Braylynn's 4th Birthday, Mother's Day, and my mom's birthday (Don't worry mom, I won't put what birthday it was). My cousin, Chad, just moved home from Vegas which all of us were ecstatic about. Even better news is that he is going to be moving downtown Indy, right by Lucas Oil, so I'm sure I'll get to see him on a regular basis! It was so much fun for everyone to get together on such a beautiful day. Here are some pictures :


I can't believe she is already 4!


















Braylynn's Funny Smile!



Sometimes presents are just really hard to unwrap!



She's such a girly girl and I love it! These press on nails did not stay in the package long!

  1. Hey Chass and Dustin, I mean Justin. I think its awesome that you started this "Family Blog"
    and all the pictures and info will help to share our lives more than ever even though we all live separate lives. Now all I have to do is learn how to post our own pictures on this site. You're the best!
