My GREAT neighbors are moving tomorrow! Am VERY sad!!!! They have been the best to have around..headed to Augusta GA. We could not have asked for better neighbors.

I believe that God brings people into our lives for many reason and sometimes for a short time. They have been SO good to us in SO many ways. We will MISS them SO much ! We feel blessed and truly thankful for them and will continue to keep up with them!!!

OK so Friday night we had Brittany's graduation party at the house! We had a DJ, BBQ, Volleyball and swimming...It was so much fun! We did let most of our neighbors know what was going on! A great time dancing the night away on the back patio! Think I will get one for my 40th Birthday this summer!!

Tonight Brittany graduated from Buena High School! I can't believe that she is ready to start her next chapter in her life. I have SO many sweet memories and feel like she is mine in many ways!

After a while I now just call her my niece and Justin my nephew. They are OUR family! Going out of their way to always be apart of my kids lives.....Am S proud of her! We love you Brittany!

From the eyes of a Kindergartner!

Today we had field day at school, we play games with water and the whole school is outside for the whole morning. It is lots of fun and the kids have a great time.

We break out our fun green tees that we wear once a year for field day.

Staci and I have our picture taken every year ( by Jon , who couldn't make it this year) so we asked a kindergartner.....this is our picture!

We LOVED it because you never know how someone sees you! God sees us with NOTHING but love. We need to remember that. He loves us no matter how we look. He can pick you up, clean you up and make you new! Praise Him for that!

Love you Staci!!

Lillie the day she was born!

My beautiful birthday girl! It is hard to believe that she is 8! WOW. It just seems like yesterday we were driving to the hospital in Tucson to have her. It has been a great joy to see her growning into her own person! I just praise God for her everyday!!

Today was move up day at school. Each class moves to the next grade and finds out who their teacher is going to be. Lillie is excited to have Mrs Foreman. Austin a little worried about having Ms.Higgins because most of his friends are in the other 5th grade class. After prayer and taking with a friend I felt that she would be the best fix for him. Not sure that the other would help him in the areas that he needs. So we will be praying ALOT the next school year!
