Ryan's Graduation Party

Well, he went and got all grown up on us. It all happened so fast. I remember playing at the zoo with this sweet blonde 2 year old and thinking I wish he would stay this way forever. Funny how things change. Now, he's still sweet and blonde but 2 years turned into 18 in the blink of an eye. He's graduated from high school and is off to boot camp for the National Guard on Sunday.

Julie and sweet Nick!

While we were in Michigan I got to spend a few hours with my great friend, Julie and her sweet boy Nick! We went to a fantastic outdoor shopping center where the kids were able to play in the fountains and at great kids play area. The kids had a great time and I loved seeing you again JULIE!!!

Loves his papa!

The kids and I escaped the horrible heat and humidity of Texas for a milder, northern climate in Michigan! It was GLORIOUS!! Aunt Maggie hosted us for a few days and Papa welcomed us for the last 2. The kids had a BLAST...no really, they did. They were so good and loved all the attention they got from their aunts, uncles and Papa! I even got to escape for a quick trip to Pennsylvania to see my sister and her family for Ryan's Graduation party...pics will be coming!
