This post is somewhat bittersweet as these pictures were taken before my Mom’s diagnosis and while she was still being treated by the incompetent doctor. However, I want to remain positive and since things are progressing positively, there is no reason to dwell on the negative.

When she saw these pictures she was surprised by how thin she was in them, so we will be retaking these pictures again in the Spring after she has been able to put some weight back on and before Johnathan leaves for the Air Force.

Probably sometime around the time of Onion Ring Night.

A few pictures from Logan’s cross country meet…

If memory serves correctly, Logan placed either 2nd or 3rd at this meet.

A few weeks back I did some Senior Pictures for Logan. Here are 15 randomly selected pictures from that photo shoot.

There are about 200 more images for your perusal in the Logan Kahler Album in the Store:

Next week’s Wednesday will involve a family portrait photo shoot.

On the Sunday before Labor Day I hosted a little Bennett Family Reunion. Although none of the Fort Dodge Bennetts attended, I think it was a rousing success. It was the first reunion of its kind in at least 20 years. I hope that we can have another one next year.

Here are a few pictures from the day:

Just a couple notes. This was Naima’s first family function and she handled herself wonderfully for only having been in her new home for 5 days. Amazingly, she had yet to discover human food. That turned out to be a short lived nirvana though.

Also, I only wore that horrible Chiefs shirt to honor my cousin Jordan who is the most realistic Chiefs fan I know. So thanks for giving me that shirts Mr. Baier. It was a hit.

Vest came through with some late submissions this week for CALM:

Next week’s theme is as easy as it gets:

A look back at last year’s submissions:

Good luck, for what it is worth.

Today is the birthday of my eldest sister, so happy birthday to her!

This also seems to be a pretty random collection of photos. Some of these pictures were taken by Teresa.

Sadly My Photoshop Skills Haven’t Improved


This is the 1st picture I ever had accepted to the State Fair.
















This autographed picture was given to me by Steph. Simon Estes pulled it out of his trunk when she asked for it.

Next week’s folder will be:

Backup/Old My Pictures/Photoshop

Seems like most of my folders have a subfolder named New Folder. This New Folder contains some pretty random pictures. Some of these were taken by Carla.

This week’s folder:

There are 3 very special people that were born on July 12 and they are each worthy of their own individual birthday photo tribute. So I will start from youngest and go to oldest.

Here is my photo birthday tribute to Logan:

A couple weeks back I went to watch Logan run track. Here are some pictures of that:

Next week’s random pictures will be of Elainie’s graduation.
