For the past 3 yrs we have taken the kids to Ft. Campbell for the 4th of July,they have a awesome carnival and light show. So we sit in the exact same spot every year and we make sure to take at least 1 group picture of them every time. Its kinda cool to have pics to compare how much they have changed over the years.

2006, our first year after daddy came back home-Katie,11, BreAnne,9,Mikaela,6 and Tyler,4

2007(my stepdaughter and her babe are in this pic too)

2008-boy have they grown
Here is what I see when I look at the pictures:
Katie(dark long hair, now almost 15) has defiently grown up and obviously gotten her braces which is helping her so much. She has gone from a gauky preteen into a beautiful young lady who lights up a room when she comes into it.
BreAnne(my red head, almost 13) is just as beautiful as always and now that she is getting older she is more confiedent in herself, she has always been my tomboy and I love it. Something that hasnt changed with Bre is her kind spirit she still is the one who seeks out others to help them and is the one who would give you her last dollar if she felt you needed it more.
Mikaela(my youngest girl, 2 weeks before she turns 10) has become more and more our princess and is still very girly-girl. She loves the camera and I love to take pictures of her so it works out great.
Tyler(just turned 7)has gotten so big and it makes me sad to think that it wont be much longer and he too will be heading into the preteen years. But he will always be my little prince charming. And im going to hold onto his little boy years for as long as I can.
