Bitter...Sweet??

So as I sit here at my desk with tears in my eyes...trying to hold them back with all my might, I just wonder...why is this so hard? My little brother left for his mission yesterday and I am still filled with emotion over the whole thing. I asked my mom how she did it? I don't even have my son here yet and I am totally stressing over the thoughts having him leaving. I know it is something that is taught and I couldn't imagine a better place for him to be but it is still hard. I have ALWAYS been really close to my brothers so for them to leave...lets just say its not an easy thing on Arin. None-the-less I am so proud of him and his decision, I know he will move mountains...he totally has the heart to do so! Chile is lucky have a such a great person coming their way!
This is Ed and my Grandma Schick...I love my grams so much! We ate a Mimi's...yummy!
I had to get a good picture of the badge...especially with the "special" orange dot!
The men in my life...minus my dad! Love them all...including my dad!
The three amigos...aka...my three Bro's!
My family right before we left to the MTC!
A picture I will treasure forever!

Sorry that I am on a soap box...I just love the boy! Mission's are great and I know that he will gain so much for serving the next two years! I have to trust the Heavenly Father will watch over and help him! Sorry if you check the blog out in the next two years and its plastered with brothers on missions and a baby that will soon be here!

Baby Koven!

My bestest friend Halee trusted me to do her new baby Koven's pictures. With a little love that he needed we were able to get some good shots...these are some of my favorites!


He absolutely loved being on this blanket!



Thanks D and Halee for letting me do you precious Koven's pictures!
