Senior Pic Remake; A Reflection and So Much More

I had a lot of fun putting together this blog post.  The Senior Pic Remake has become a favorite of many followers so here it is.  Starting with the original in all its glory.

How about some kiddos?

Four day old Grace.

Two week old Grace.

Two month old Grace.

Four month old Grace (and a summer tan).

Eight month old Grace.

Brand new baby Max (my Pittsburgh coworker/amazing friend Debra's new little bundle).

Max at home.  Must be a natural baby pose.

Colin Dostal (my cousin Abby's son) doing a fabulous rendition.

And Colin's little sis Taryn.

Our Pittsburgh friend Kacia's little one, Harlow at a few weeks old.  Now she's almost two!

Destination Senior Pic Remakes.

College golf teammate Brittany by a castle in Germany!  So awesome.

Brittany again in Germany.

And again.  These are so cool.

Our Florida friend, Carolina, who now lives in Atlanta and her friends/family pose outside the aquarium.

Carolina again, captain of the ship.  So cute.

Tuff in Jamaica.

Posing with our Minnesota friend Seth, who now lives in Texas.

And with a Jamaican in Jamaica.

Our Florida friend Melissa next to a Tiger in Thailand!  Incredible.

Sandiego Zoo with our dear friends from Nashville, the Voorheis' (you'll see more of them below).

Empire State Building New York.  Ya its a picture of the $40 picture they want you to purchase.

Street vendor in New York drawing the Senior Pic Remake.

The Chocolate Factory in Trafford, Pennsylvania with the chocolate family, the Edwards'.

Inside the retail shop at Trafford.  That is a lot of chocolate.

The original Senior Pic Remake was a destination; Niagara Falls.

The Recreation Category.

Bowling quite naturally.

Scooter rides are a great time for the Senior Pic Remake.

At the rock wall on Tuff's 30th birthday!

Swimming.

Mike's swimming version rocks.  Takes skill to master the remake above water but he conquered under water.  Impressive.  

Miscellaneous Remakes Renditions.  

Minnesota neighbors Bill and Sarah.  This was the night they threw us a send off party for our move to Montana.  Love you guys.

My little sister Cydney after a fundraiser golf event.  80's prom theme I believe.  Neat (its her favorite word).

High school friend and grad school roommate Jake.  He's the real deal and so is that mustache.  

Uncles Dave and Joe and Aunts Sandy and Barb in Minnesota over Christmas.  Can you tell our family takes themselves VERY seriously?

Uncle Dave post-op.  He recently had a good report from the surgery!  Love that the Senior Pic Remake worked itself into the hospital.

Making of 2010 Christmas cards.

So professional.  This pic is spot on.  My friend Leslie.  Beautiful.

Whoa Leslie what happened?  Haha.  She doesn't take herself too seriously either.

And Leslie's husband Mike.  This guy is good at these remakes!

The wildly popular Halloween 2010.

The only way to finish this post is with one last look at that handsome 18 year old.

What Happened to Half of January?

Wow we have been going through some changes.  We made the full move to Billings, Montana.  In fact today we just switched over our plates on our Nissan Frontier to Montana plates.

We also bought a second vehicle, a 2007 Toyota Yaris.  

I started work just after the first of the year at the Billings Family YMCA.  I'm working fitness floor, rock wall, and personal training.  Belay on!

We have been taking Grace swimming at the YMCA and she loves it.  

 My lens was fogging up in there.  Too humid for the camera!  But you can see that Grace's hair is not as dark as her dad's.

We are living with Tuff's cousin Donnie and wife Kassia.  They have a three bedroom house so Grace gets her own room!  

First time we pulled all of her stuff out of the cargo trailer.

Tuff had a few more speaking engagements, one of which was a sermon at Life's Journey Christian Fellowship in Colstrip.  You can go on their website which I linked and listen to the message he titled, Identity Theft and the Wicked Truth.

We also joined a small group at church; it just started last Thursday.  It was great but made me miss our dear friends from Pittsburgh.  Can you believe we left seven months ago?  

Grace has been cute as usual.  Check out the video of her giving open mouth kisses and giggling at me being silly.  

Here she is saying dad no matter what we tell her to say!  She prefers dad to dada or daddy.  

Grace just got over an ear infection so we have been nursing her through that, poor thing.  I feel I can partially blame the business and sick baby on my slacking on blog updates.  I will update shortly on Tuff's 30th birthday.  That's right, his 30th is on the 23rd of the month.  

Also look for the senior pic remake edition next blog update!  I got some awesome pics in from a lot of you.  Here is a sneak preview:

Brittany (my college golf teammate) in Germany!

Its not too late to send us your picture, email or text!  Miss you all.
