Last day of school

We are done with Kindergarten and First Grade!!  Of course the kids did wonderfully and passed with flying colors!




Kason and Camden at Kindergarten Graduation!

Little Miss got to carry the flag!



So cute!



Cora and Tiana!  We love that they get to go through school together!




Oh how we are going to miss Mrs. Smith!  She has been amazing with Keaton and now with Tiana!  We sure hope Camden gets her too!!

What cute girls!  Mia, Stella, Belen and Tiana.


Stella and Kason came over for the day to play!









House: Paint and Sheetrock

I suppose it is high time for a house update!!  Every evening has been busy painting the outside while the insulating and Sheetrock has been happening inside.  We had a couple months of nightmare inspector drama but for the time being we have that taken care of!

Loving the color!

Mother's Day

  Mother's day is always extra special to me.  I look at my kids in awe of the fact that I was chosen to be their Mommy!  It is a humbling day to me in thinking of their birthmother's who so selflessly loved their child so much that they gave me the chance to be a Mom.  The way our family has come together has been perfect!

We tried out a new hair do and it is a Sunday favorite now!

I had to do my change of season silhouette madness!  The boys once again chose their designs!
I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner but you always see cheap knit dresses that are plain.... this year I got smart and added some designs to make them special!
 Tiana had her field day and loved it!







Keaton had his too but I didn't get very many photos since I was helping out with a group!
Twila spent her birthday and down time with us and we all loved it!  The kids have gotten very attached to her and we all love having her around.  She has become an Auntie to the kids and I love that they have the chance to have a close relationship her!

Everyday life from the iphone

Early spring yard clean up!

I will never tire of this little hand in mine!

Somebody doesn't want Daddy to leave!

Cutest little band around!

B-day present for a good friend of Tiana's.
 We had a girls weekend in Portland!!



Love my little girl!

Another B-day present for a good friend!

We love having these guys 10 minutes away to meet at a park to get some energy out!

 These kiddos make me smile every day!!





ha ha ha!  This is such a great photo of the goofiness we live with!

Another day, another park!  Small town Friday night entertainment... seeing  how many people they can get to wave at them!
