Graduation Time...

It's so hard to believe that our little baby is graduating from Kindergarten. Where does the time go?

Saying their scripture and poems

I guess she thought she needed to provide entertainment during the sermon.

Could it possibly get any more exciting?

Receiving her diploma from her principal - aka Daddy

Receiving her Bible from the school board

Her teacher Mrs. Stanberry

Karissa graduated from Kindergarten this year, too, so my mom brought her cap and gown so they could get a picture together.

Our little shrimp is actually six weeks older than long-legs Karissa, but you sure wouldn't know that by looking at them. :)

Opening her gifts

Enjoying Baby Trent

Now only one more event this weekend (Awards Banquet) and we'll be off enjoying summer!!!

Pictures of Cuties...

I was thrilled to be able to take pictures of my adorable nieces and one and only nephew!

Tori - she's just full of life and a sweetie pie.

This is Cera. She is a quiet, happy little lady. She decided a while back to give herself a new hairstyle right up front, so her mommy had to "fix" it. :)

She is a sweetheart!

Aren't they precious?

This little man is my very first nephew. I'm so proud of him. I could load pictures all day of him. :)

Trent

You crack me up!

Such sweet little faces!

Last weekend Jeremy and his family and my parents were here for Kristyn's graduation. They surprised Kristyn by bring Kaylee and Karissa with them. We all had a fun time together.

My brother is the best uncle. He brought a huge swing for the kids. They swing higher than the trees (just don't tell my mom that. :) )

Trying to figure out how to get the rope up in the tree.

Perfect!

They also played a heated game of baseball in the yard. :)

Uncle Jeremy up to bat.

Owen told him that he's supposed to leave the bat at the base when he runs. :)

Kaylee's turn.

Run, Kaylee, Run!!

Owen.

These ladies were much too busy to be bothered with such things.

Kristyn, Karissa and Tori

Self-proclaimed Laura and Mary Ingalls.

Thank you everyone for coming. We thoroughly enjoyed you being here!!!

First Goal Met.....

I am so happy to announce that I have met my first goal in starting the Hair Bow Shop

A few weeks ago, I called up my lovely sister and said, "I need some money...any ideas?" To my utter disbelief she didn't just offer me the money and say, "Since you are my favorite and I couldn't live without you, and you have always had a special place in my heart and I owe you money anyway....." well, she didn't say any of that, instead she said, "Why not sell hair bows." Hmmmmmm!

So that is how the hair bow shop came to be.

But, like I said, I am so happy and amazed that I have already met my first goal and that was to buy a telescopic lens for our camera.

Here is an example: See the bird nest in the picture? Come on, move closer to the screen, it's right up there by the gutter.

Still can't see it? Fine, I'll put my new lens on and stand in the very same place and take the picture again:

Now can you see it? Isn't that amazing??? I'm SO excited!!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each of you that have bought bows from me and for those that still have orders out there, I'm working on them. ;)

So thank you for my camera lens!!!
