USAF Graduation - CONGRATS CHARLIE!!!!

Last Wednesday the US Air Force had their graduation ceremony... we were excited because Charlie graduated!!!  Charlie is the Cadet my parents have sponsored for the last 4 years and now he's Katelin's boyfriend! He's really been apart of the family from day one! 

The USAF Thunderbirds put on a air show and flyover the stadium after the graduation for a 30 - 45 min show! Its crazy how everyone stops what they are doing ( even if they are driving:) ) and watch the planes!!! 

Here are some pics that our friend TIM at Image Factory Photo took! They are great!!!

In Formation!

After a week of rain it turned out to be a GORGEOUS perfect day for the Graduation! Look at that Mountain!!! I love Colorado!

Great Picture Tim!!!

Kingdom Dog Weekend

Like I said last post Hank Hough and his Kingdom Dogs were in town for their first Colorado tour! :) My dad has been apart of the ministry from day one and because I was in college when it frist started I had never seen a presentation... this week was amazing! TO see Hank and his demonstration of Freedom in Obedience and our relationship with our Master Jesus Christ was AMAZING!

Like I said last post too... Tim from Image Factory Photography took some great pictures for Hank and KDM to use in his new promo video that I'm working on and to use on his website.

This picture is amazing and completely conveys the obience of a dog to his master! I love the peacefulness that it conveys... just like the peace you have when you are obedient and serve your Master! Just Beautiful!

Gotta love the mountains in the background!!!

Hank with his dogs!

The boys! Prophet, Monk, and Bandera! (Matt's favorite was Bandera! Grayson likes Monk! )

The power is not if you CAN get the bumper... its if you can say no, only then will your MASTER let you live life abundantly!!!

TIM - These are awesome!!! SO GREAT! I'm IFP's biggest fan! :) www.imagefactoryphoto.com

For more information on Kingdom Dog Ministries - www.kingdomdog.com - If you are in Texas you need to see this!!! Hank is at several churches a month... also you can book him for your next event as a guest speaker (men's event, school, etc...)

EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS MESSAGE!!! God's truth lived out through dogs! (and I'm not a dog person)

Grayson is 9 months!!!!

My baby is so quickly growing up to be a big boy!!! Grayson is nine months already!!! And I thought 9 months of pregnancy went by fast!! This is insane how fast he's growing up!

This weekend a good family friend of our was in town for his Kingdom Dog Ministries presentations and Tim Skrastins - IMAGE FACTORY PHOTOGRAPHY took pics of Hank doing his presentations... as Grayson was laughing he snapped this amazing picture!!!

Tim is the greatest to share it with me and to share his talents and love of photography with Kingdom Dog Ministries... Thanks Tim! www.imagefactoryphoto.com (by the way Tim took Grayson baby pics and created his birth annoucement!)

More post to come!
