Growing Up Mudra

So I’m doing two posts today because I have so many pictures that I never got a chance to put up!  The weekend that Jason and Erin got married, September 13th (pics still to come)…I was able to meet up with Monica and her daughter Hadley and I was able to meet up with my family were I saw my niece Laura and her son Emmerson.  Here are some pictures of them

It was Ohio Universities Homecoming this weekend. We dressed Jillian up in her Bobcats Chearleader gear and took her down to Athens. Mama and Papa Mudra were there too.

I can’t resist posting this picture tonight as well.  Last weekend was my brother-in-law’s wedding and Joe was the best man.  He looked so handsome in his tuxedo and Jillian was a cute little princess in her dress!  I’m so happy to have both of them in my life.  When Aunt Barb bought this dress for Jillian when she was born, it was hard to believe that she would fit in it some day.  Well, now that day is here and she looked so beautiful!  I will try to get a post with more wedding pictures soon!

Ok, so I was out of town on Father’s Day and didn’t get this post up when we got back because we were so exhausted. I just wanted to wish all you dads and soon-to-be dads a Happy Father’s Day!! We were very happy that we were able to see both my dad and my father-in-law, even though it was pretty brief…thanks for all that you both do for us. I especially want to wish my husband a Happy First Father’s Day! You truly are a wonderful father to Jillian, we love you!

Another big event that Jillian and I attended this weekend was Josh Speelman’s graduation party; he is my cousin Jim’s oldest son. I found out that he will be attending OU in the fall on a wrestling scholarship! Needless to say, I was elated that he chose my alma mater and that he will soon be a Bobcat! We got to visit with lots of family members that I haven’t seen in awhile and it was a great time. Can’t wait to see all you Speelmans at the reunion coming up soon! Congratulations Josh and best of luck at OU; I will be coming for a visit of course

Way to go Josh, we are proud of you!

Cousin Chelsea meets Jillian for the first time and Aunt Nicci remembers what is like when they are so little.

I just love these twins to pieces, aren’t they so sweet!

Jason and Laura Speelman’s son Brice; I just wanted to pinch his cheeks!
Don’t worry I resisted the urge…barely.

Aunt Gerry takes a turn with Jillian and Susan bonds with Emma.

The kids were having fun on the trampoline - Kaleb, Abigail and Jersey


The Elder Speelmans (my Dad and Uncle Jim) played cornhole with their sons.
Brian and Jason had a good laugh about their style of playing!
