End of the School Year Sara and Susanna Promotions

Susanna and her buddy Marissa at Kindergarten Promotion

The Best Kindergarten Teacher Ever!  Ms. Orozco left our school after finishing last year.  I am so glad Susanna got to have her before she left.  We love her!

Another bestie, Brooke, and Susanna

Love Daddy pics!

Moms are ok too, I guess. 

Sara and her friend Daniel at the 8th Grade Promotion Dance. 

Sam was finished with school so he got to attend Sara's promotion ceremony with us.

Sara and her pretty Grammy!

So, surprise, surprise, Sara has a lot of friends that are BOYS. 

Sara and Keagan

Sara and Jon

Sara and some of  her wonderful 8th grade teachers

She was so sad to have Sara move on.  I think she would have taken her home with her.

Proud big brother

I can't believe I have another high schooler.  I must be getting old. 

Outstanding in Their Field

Ok, so it wasn't their field, but they are outstanding teens in a field. We snapped these quickly on our way to the Shadow Mountain High School theater awards night. I was so sad when they finally harvested the field; it was SO pretty!

Silly Tim!

Josh is turning in to a man before my eyes. Heartbreaking for Mama.

Pretty-ness!!!!

These two have been best buds since Sara was born.  I love how much they love each other.

Tim and Josh got lots of awards.  The are such hams!

Fun Pics

I love sleeping pictures. Almost everyday someone falls asleep in some sort of crazy position. So cute!

My cutie pie Daniel

Egg Bartos

At our house we have egg bartos, not burritos. Tim calls them that, so we do too.

I find random pictures of food on my camera frequently. My kids all love to cook and to try out new spices and concoctions. I love it!

Our George Foreman Grill gets used a ton, and almost never for meat.  The kids love to grill everything.

Laney's 8th Birthday Party

Laney turned 8! She got to have a big party with lots of friends and a special guest, her teacher, Ms. McLain.  Laney is blessed to have so many wonderful friends near by. She had a wonderful time being silly with them and especially loved having Ms. McLain there.  She adores her!

I offered to make a pretty cake for her, but she wanted to have an ice cream cake.  It tasted good, that is all that matters.

The whole gang

We had a lot of fun decorating too.  

Tim made giant M&M cookies for her party favors with sparkly rings tied on.

After the party, she immediately broke open the foot spa gift and pampered herself and Susanna.  It was a wonderful day!

Sam's Graduation Announcement Pictures

I took pictures of Sam at the same time as we did Laney's. They turned out really well too!

He also wanted so pictures with the cows.

Jessi also made Sam's announcements.  Awesome!  Thanks Jessi!
