Mr. & Mrs. BASL

The Wedding has come & gone.....

This is my brother Taylor (16),my Mom Pam and brother Casey (22). They Looked handsome & my Mom looked so pretty! Her dress, hair and shoes looked so Perfect...Like she was meant for it! The Wedding was magnificent and couldn't have been any better!!

This one is Louis's older brother Richard, some call him Dick. He sang during the candle ceremony. The song was "This Ring"- by Tony Carter. He did so well. Walking with him is my sister, Stacy. The Matron of Honor! She is a hot mama! Her twins (my nephews) Connor & Caleb turned 4, on the 25th of August. But they didn't have to get a Birthday cake - They just ate all of Louis & I's cake while we were on our 3 day honeymoon in Seattle. That wasn't very nice, only because IT WAS SOOO GOOD! : ) Roth's bakery in Silverton Rocks. They made a raspberry champagne cake with strawberry filling (Real chunks of strawberries) Yum Yum Yum! Dick and Stacy were Homecoming King

and Queen together Highschool ~ 2000.

The cake Looked sort of like this but 2 teirs an 8" and a 6" on top. And the bottom frosting was huge dots instead of small ones. Looked Like a chunky pearl necklace.

Our Photo Shoot Last Year

Here are some of our "engagement pictures". My friend Christiana took them with her Dad's camera. She captured some good ones. We had met my Dad in Salem @ the hanger to take pictures. We got the idea from a magazine. It was a guy dressed in his uniform with his girl & they were on a huge fighter jet. Well, we didn't have access to that kind of thing but My Dad had one and I thought because he was SO Proud to have a plane and Loved to fly it so much, that he would be proud to have our pictures taking with it for our invitations. Well, he washed it and got it ready and it was the shinniest, most perfect plane. He even had a red carpet for it, that he layed out for us to sit on. Our pictures didn't take too long. Maybe 10 minutes, but the real fun part was that it turned into a photo shoot with my Dad and his plane. I just know that whatever my Dad did, I was so proud of HIM and I am so proud to be his daughter. He amazes me and I just want him to know I will always Love him.

5 weeks Away!

Louis & I went to the Court House yesterday and recieved our marriage license. We had fun. The lady that helped us was really nice. She had crossed out the price and wrote down to order 3 instead of one. She looked up @ Louis and said, "I saw you were in the service, thank you for protecting our country." I thought that was nice of her. Then she had to help Louis with a question; He said what race do I put down? ...Because I'm kind of a mutt, he says with a smile! She said laughing, "well, that you certainly are not....But if you were that would be one darn good looking mutt." "I'm serious!" she said, looking @ me.... "It was one really good combination don't ya think?" She made Louis's day and both of us blush. I thought it was pretty cute. Louis IS VerY Good Looking & I am Looking forward to being his wife!
Then when we got home, My mom had made dinner. The 3 of us were sitting in the living room. I said, "oh yeah, were supposed to celebrate because we got the Marriage License today!" So we all raised our garlic bread and toasted, "CHEERS!"

La Paz Mexico with My Dad

I might have a little bit more hair and little rounder face, but I like to say I look a little like My Dad! This is a funny picture. He would be mad at me for showing a picture without his hat on, but it is definately one of my favorite ones. So I had to. :) I work now @ the Salon that we grew up going to and the ladies there used to cut my dad's hair before I went to beauty school. The other day one of the ladies said my brother was a hottie. And then she asked, is that weird for me to say that or do you get that alot? I just laughed and said, well I know my "Dad" was pretty good looking because I did get people telling me that all the time, so if Casey looks like him then I guess its normal. They all stopped and had to tell me a story. One time my Dad wanted in to get his hair cut, (he usually went to Vicki) but she was busy. So they asked Linda, who was free for a hair cut at that time. But she said no, she was too nervous because she thought he was too cute. Then it became a big joke, my Dad would come to his usual haircut with Vicki and say where is Linda? :) And she'd be hiding in the back.

He is too cute, but the thing is his personality was too! The best example of how to enjoy life, by loving life itself. Loving Yourself, by taking care of your body. Loving your family by keeping them close. Making the most of anything and being the best @ it, whatever it may be.

This was drawn by an artist, Stephan (my dad's plumber for all the houses that they built & friend) brought it out to us. It is drawn by all dots and is so detailed. I think it is really neat. It hangs by my Dad's desk. Thanks Stephan and Family!

This is actually framed and hanging by my Dad's desk as well. Brandie, (Taylor's Girlfriend) makes these and she is very talented at doing them. I LOVE this one so much because I truely believe it. It makes you feel good when you read it. Thanks Brandie!

This picture is awesome! I can't stop starring at his smile. He's so HAPPY. And such a fun, goofy

dad. We (Dad, Mom, Taylor, Me & Bowdie our Dog) were out at a peice of property that has tree's on it that my Dad works with. But in this picture we were backed up to a BIG POND and we were all in the back of the pick up throwing a softball out into the pond so Bowdie would jump out and swim to get it. It was alot of fun! Just doing silly things.

But the picture here looks like the light is shinning down on me and my Dad. And he is siting behind me and it makes me feel like he is shinning down on me from Heaven and he is always behind me to guide me through life.
