LUCKY 13

My baby girl...just a few years ago. But time slows down for no one.

Now she is all grown up... beautiful, smart, strong and happy (when she gets what she wants...teenagers!)

HaPpy BirTHdAy BrOoKe!

My babe is growing up!

Being SILLY five-year olds...

Alyse showing her teeth (ohhh scary!)...

Being a twiner is SO MUCH FUN!

FAMILY PHOTO SHOOT

Brooke loved showing off her new smile... braces are OFF!

Girls, girls... and more girls. (Alyse on the left/Paige on the right)

Thank goodness we have some boys around to keep us sane!

Sad to see Summer ending!

Goodbye to big smiles under the water

The lazy days at the cabin are going to turn into homework and carpooling...BLAH!

Tennis season is coming to a close :( ...I don't play in the winter

Lake days are coming to a close... We will miss tubing, waterskiing and wakeboarding!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE you Summer...

FAMILY VACATION... Lake Powell to San Diego

Brin is a natural at surfing... Lake Powell style

Paige loves being all cuddled up!

Alyse is excited to be at the Beach!

We have GREAT friends that made our time in SD even more fun!

Brooke with her favorite wave crashin', sand slingin', slushie eating friend!

Shortest to tallest in the sand and sun...

Charlie's Angels...lookin' good girls!

Beach Boys

We all got along and had fun for TWO weeks together!

Thanks to dad's reward system... ;) $

Just wanted to share what gives me the giggles EVERYDAY

So this pops up on my i-phone whenever I get a call from my

HOT husband. He is lookin' good these days!

PROUD MAMA!

Broc is always so good to the people (and kids) around him.

I've got two budding beauties...

A star dancer... (Congrats Brooke on winning second for you solo dance!)

She is with her dance teacher that she loves.

And I love to watch this one play some MEAN soccer.

PUPPY LOVE

Surprise! A new addition to the Kasteler Clan.

Brin finally gets a dog to LOVE...

Alyse it's your turn!

(everyone has to wait till there turn to have some puppy time)

We already love "Bella".... she is part of the family.

He is officially OVER THE HILL

Pictures from the past remind us of times gone by and youth lost

or experience and wisdom gained?

Brian as a teenager... loved to be out fly fishing

Always active and having fun... even at the ripe old age of forty. : )

Hair cut with a butter knife? Was that the style?

Cutest baby of the year? What's your opinion?
