Teenagers

Remember when I said I couldn't look at the picture of Kellen and Madison from Christmas?  This is why.

They will be teenagers this year.  Kellen's birthday is this month, Madison's is in October.  I can't stand it.  They have always had a special friendship.  They used to just play and play and have always gotten along so well together.  We haven't gotten to spend as much time with Madison the last few years.  Life does that sometimes.  When you live in Iowa you can't just say, "hey come over for dinner."  Well, you can, but people in Oklahoma can't just run over.  Hopefully we'll get to spend more time will all of our family now that we are closer.

Riding rides at the Oklahoma State Fair.  I think this was 1999, I don't see any little siblings there, and the siblings were born in 2000.

At the same fair, getting ready to watch Disney On Ice.

Have no idea the date, I am guessing 2007,  but this is at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
