Wonder who they're talking to

This is my son Mikal.

This is his fiance, Amy.

We were shooting their engagement photos when they each had phone calls.  Now I know they're not talking to each other, but they both look so happy. . .wonder who was on the other end of that line.

UMMEL & BROCKMAN

Ummel & Brockman

The engagement of Amy Brockman and Mikal Ummel is announced.

Amy is the daughter of Ron Brockman and Sue Kuse of Marshfield.

Mikal is the son of Dennis and Lisa Dewane of Plover.

A June 26, 2010, wedding is planned.

Bryguy!

My step-son, Bryan also lives in Missouri - he didn't like the Wisconsin cold very much, lol and moved back to MO a few years ago. This is the shortest his hair has been in a number of years! I wish I had his hair because it is beautifully curly when longer.

Being silly

Amber is quite a bit shorter than Bryan and she was even wearing heels! lol

Ahhhhh, aren't they cute?!

Hope to see you guys again soon!

Mikal Derek Steven

My oldest son, Mikal, turned 21 in December and as you can see he has two middle names.  He was a couple of days old when the nurses kept pressuring me for a middle name to complete the birth certificate.  I couldn't come up with one, then I came up with two and could not decide between them.  When I later looked them up in a baby name book I found they mean nearly the same thing!  Derek means 'ruler' and Steven means 'crowned one'.  Cool, no?

You see him pictured here with his girlfriend, Amy. They have been a couple for 4 ½ years now. Amy graduated from tech school (architectural) this past spring and Mikal has now started tech school (IT). They live about 45 minutes from us so we don’t see them as much as we’d like.

And, they just got engaged!

I think they’ll make some pretty cute grandkids when they get around to that. ;)  These photos were taken last month, but we took some really cool ones over the summer if you're interested.
