JUNE

Jensyn June Smith
We'll talk about her name in a minute.
Today we celebrate our girl.
10 years ago Shawn brought her to me wearing a purple bow.
There really aren't many words.
lovely. delightful. a gem.
But of course I think she's wonderful.
(except for when she's Ja-nay-nay!)
Here are some of my favorite pics...
hApPy BiRtHdAy DoLl!

today.

Halloween (2011)

First day of school 2011

on her baptism day.

Achievement day fashion show, 2010

Now to her name.
This is Shawn's grandmother...June Spackman Larson
(doesn't she look like a hoot?..)

This is her other great-grandmother, June Mann Moss Westbrook
(now I know she was a hoot! my mother's mother)

and sometimes I call her June. Just June.
It means a lot to me.
I love that it ties her to these two amazing women.
I used to take Jensy with me to visit my grandmother when she was sick
and she was only 3ish, but she still remembers and talks about it.
She has a strong heritage
one she can be proud of,
and honor in her own way.

JAXON

Today we celebrate Jaxon...
15 years old today.
I'll never forget the day he was born.
A light went on
and I've never been the same.
I'm constantly in awe of what a great person he is-
on his own.
He's learning to drive
and I'm constantly in new territory with him
It's the weirdest, greatest thing.
I couldn't love him more.
Prepare for picture overload...

He's grown up so much.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I can't wait for our lunch!

sisters

This is a shout-out
to two very special people...
my sissies!
They are two of my favorite people
in this world.
They are always there for me.
They love me
unconditionally.
We can tell eachother anything...
(One of them can even tell me to "quit being a baby".
And one I even let call me "bink".)
I love them so much.
They mean the world to me.
They are the reason I am sad that Jensy doesn't have a sister.
They are beautiful.
They are a wonderful gift.
My best friends.
I cherish them every day.
