My maiden name started with a B and my married name starts with a B. Dear only has one brother and I have 4 brothers and 3 sisters. My B’s way outnumber Dear’s B’s so I wanted to devote a post to Dear’s side of the family. Dear’s brother has 3 beautiful daughters. They live in Southern California and in New York. We don’t see them often enough but we are happy when we do. All our B’s get along and have good history together!

Jenna was our very first niece! She just had her first baby, Miss Skylar.

Annie was born a few months after our firstborn Josh. Our third niece from this family came several years later in 1991.




Jenna is married to Justin. Skylar celebrated her 4 month milestone while she was in Seattle for Katie and Andrew’s wedding.


My sister in law was enjoying all her grammy time since Skylar lives so far away from her. Dear’s brother and his youngest daughter were not able to come up for the wedding.


A little nap was in order before the reception!

Annie and her guy Jeff got to stay with friend’s who live in a floating house on Lake Union while they were in Seattle for the wedding. That really made for a fun trip for them to the wedding. They got into their friend’s little boat and motored across the lake to the wedding venue which was on the opposite shore. It was so much fun to see them pull up to the dock.
The Monday after the wedding was Miss Skylar’s 4 month anniversary so I will leave you with the best photo yet (that’s coming from a true Sounder’s fan!)

Fun times in Seattle with so many of our loved ones!
Skylar is adorable! Thee is something about having a baby around that makes everyone happier….they bring such joy!
Those were the cutest photos ever. I love the B…I actually thought you were writing a story about me…I think I’d fit in quite well.
I love this and we love you. Go Sounders & Redbulls!
Lots of luvin’ on that beautiful baby. Weddings are the best family gatherings ever!
I find it fascinating, the thought of living on a floating house. Beautiful baby.
Your family (all of them) are so photogenic. But especially the babies 🙂
Fun post. I started life as a ‘B’ as well…and switched it up to a ‘W’.
Thanks for introducing us all around. Skylar…so sweet!
This is so awesome! We had such a great trip. I love my “B” family so much!!
Beautiful girls and Sktler is an adorable baby, Ellen. It must have been so nice to see them all during the wedding. I’m also a “B” 🙂
Beautiful sisters/nieces and a wonderful great-niece. Now that she’s found her way to your corner, I’m sure she’ll do it again.
Wonderful family photos – my favourite is the one of the little sleeping babe.
What beautiful nieces you have!
I’ll bet everyone wished they could come to the wedding in a motor boat!
