11 years old!





May all his wishes come true.


Nana and Papa celebrate 65 years of marriage

We surprised my nana and papa and helped them celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary. 
How cute were they?!


 My precious nana.

 Still just as cute!


My dad, brothers and the rest of us.


Sacramento or bust!

All 5 of us went down to Sacramento for a few days to celebrate our July Birthdays, and simply because we missed our friends so much.  Just like the past, there were so many laughs.



 It was so fun to see these 4 together again.


 4 Birthdays in one month is quite a bit. 

 Caitlin and Avary.

 And of course, Jillian!

 Boys and their toys......

 Aw, my favorite people in the whole wide world.

 Joanna painted tattoos on the girls arms. 
It was a hit!


I think she has a job with the circus tattoo booth in her future.  ;)

"This is the worstest burfday ever!"

Our little 6 year olds.

All smiles and giggles, and then came the cakes...........
As we were singing Happy Birthday to them, Craig was carrying both cakes over to the table and one by one, they slid off the trays and landed face down.


A morning walk across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge










Time to play Whack A Mole!


These moles are a pain in my ass.
Mole holes everywhere.

Griffen and Avarys Kindergarten graduation






 They did it!  They adjusted to a new school and loved every minute of it.  I am sure that is was so much easier because they had eachother, but either way, it's tough being the new kids.

 Our little graduates and their teacher, Mrs. Harrison.



1st grade here we come!


Jacksons 5th grade graduation




 Receiving his diploma from his teacher, Mrs. Campbell and principal, Mr. Rusdit.

 We couldn't be more proud of Jackson.  He not only switched schools during the middle of his 5th grade year, but he finished with a smile and a few new friends.  He did great and adjusted way better than I was expecting. 


Neighborhood friends!
