Light check volunteers

 Charlie and Shae are always right there waiting to help me check light as soon as the backdrops go up - they are so helpful - and such beggars, wanting more treats than the job warrants!

Ari Shae Wright - November 16, 2016

I mean - he was willing to have his portrait made right? Why not grab his Halloween costume? I'll need a halloween post for BSP instagram anyway! 

Thanks Charles - you are a champ!

HAPPY 29th STEPHI KAI!

My Sweet niece, Stephanie, turned 29 and spent her birthday weekend here in Forney with us!

 She decided on burgers at Twisted Root and a piece of Kroger cheesecake for dessert -whatever works for her!

Cousins 2016

Since we have Stephi and her family visiting this weekend - it's bi-annual cousin photo time!

I just love that this group doesn't like the word cousin - I love that they think that word doesn't mean enough. They love each other like siblings and it makes my heart so happy!

Maggie, Matt, Baby Emmitt, Stephanie, Ethan and Tim

these two are tight!

homecoming 2016

These two sweet girls - Emery & Ashlyn - asked Tim & his buddy Payton to attend Homecoming at their high school! 

 They snuck out early from a football game, knowing the boys wouldn't be home yet.

YES!! Because when a cute girl asks you out, you do not turn her down!

Disney!!

For Maggie's 22nd birthday - the stars aligned just right, making it possible for the four of us to all be available for a family trip! It's no surprise that Maggie chose Disney for her birthday celebration!

We had almost two weeks - and I didn't take my camera - here are a few pics that I had on my phone.

We first stayed at Portofino Bay - Our favorite Universal Studios resort - and spent several days riding coasters and other thrill rides.

I'm pretty sure this was nearly the middle of the night - ordering cheeseburgers and fries from room service. We won't discuss how much that cost...

 Then we jumped over to Disney World and our other favorite resort - Old Key West!

First priority - a Minnies Bake Shop Cookie - a family fave!

getting prepared for the perfect instagram birthday photo!
