While in the pursuit of happiness,
one should stop -
and just be happy . . .

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle


One of my all-time favorite memories!
 Thank you, Blake.
You know how to make a girl feel special.

 
The Hand That Rocks The Cradle

He got here red and wrinkled scared and cryin'

Then she took him up and held him to her breast
And he sure was glad to get what mama offered
Then he went to sleep and put his fears to rest

It didn't seem to matter what he needed
He could always count on mama to supply
And regardless of the sleep she might be losin'
He always found a twinkle in her eye

There ought to be a hall of fame for mamas
Creation's most unique and precious pearls
And heaven help us always to remember
That the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world

She taught him all the attributes of greatness
That she knew he couldn't learn away from home
And by the time she wore the cover off her bible
Her hair was gray and her little man was gone

There ought to be a hall of fame for mamas
Creation's most unique and precious pearls
And heaven help us always to remember
That the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world
Yes, the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world


One Heart Sure Can Hold a Whole Lot of Love!










Pre-Ceremony Surprise


Thank you, Lauren.  What a thoughtful thing to do!


Bryce's Family at the Wedding

Bryce & Keeley's Family arrived early for Blake & Lauren's wedding.
Pictures of their family were among the few that I took.
I wish now that that were not the case, but at the time,
as things began to get hectic,
I decided I didn't want to be bothered with a camera,
so I stashed it away.
