Summer Lovin'

This summer has been so fun despite the heat. We've been spending so much time at the pool or in our very own backyard pool! And by backyard pool I mean one of those tiny blue plastic pools. A must have for all kids! We've been playing baseball and lots of Hangman inside when it's just too hot to be outside. This summer also brought my 28th birthday and Jasons **th birthday. Not to mention July 1st marked out 1 year anniversay. And I can honestly say that I love Jason more everyday. Other than that Jason and I have just been working and trying to enjoy life as much as possible.


Some of us were playing baseball......

While others were eating ice cream......

Until our game was "rained" out.....

I am so in love with this man!

He is trying to tan, so far it has only gotten him burned. Don't worry Joyce I keep him very coated with Sun Block!

She is growing way too fast! My little princess is not so little.


We get so hungry playing in the water and sun all day.

Mom is happy!

Another Graduation

About a week after Peyton was born Amanda graduated from High School. Grandma Shirley and Grandpa Cleo came down all the way from Visalia California! I love it when they come to visit! We are all so proud of Amanda. Sadly it was raining the night of her graduation and it was of course outside so Grandma and I used our programs to try to keep as dry as possible. Wasn't really working. Oh well, rain or shine we wouldn't've missed it!

Way to go BOB!

Jason went to Washington, D.C. Of course he wouldn't miss Bob's graduation. He got his MBA from George Washington University. We are all so proud of him! None more proud than his beautiful wife Katie.

Donny also was there which completed "The Three Amigos", these guys are so great when they get together! They always have a good time together, even though Donny had his mind full of plans for his upcoming wedding!!!!

Well I wasn't there, thanks to my ridiculous fear of flying, so I don't know all the details of what was going on, but I do know thdy did get to go to a wine tasting out at Mount Vernon and even posed in some pictures with President George Washington and First Lady Martha Washington. Below are the pictures of the trip for the rest of us to enjoy.

Bob & Katie's church

Their place.

JENGA time!

Bob was chosen to deliver a speech in front of about 10,000 people at the graduation and it was incredible!



Mount Vernon



Apparently Bob is never too far away from his Blackberry! I think he's drooling ;)

Cinco De Mayo

Well for those of you who don't know Cinco De Mayo also happens to be Yvette's Birthday. This year my Dad had a surprise party for her....and she really never expected a thing. It was so much fun! Even though I don't look too happy in the pic I did have a good time. The look was intended for my brother in law who really likes to irritate me as much as he can. The kids love the pool and of course had so much fun playing with their cousins. Amanda had not had Peyton yet so she was very tired from the day.....which is when Jason posed for the pic with her.


Confirmation



Well it's been about 3 months ago but here is Deanna on the day she was Confirmed as a Catholic. My baby looked so beautiful in her white dress. Mom was having a bit of "Mom moment" when I was getting her ready....seeing the white dress and all made me think of her wedding day.....the idea even now still makes me catch my breath. I was so proud of my girl.

I'm Back!


So it's been quite some time since I have updated the blog. Sorry everyone. I have a lot of photos to upload and so much to get everyone caught up on, however, my dear husband needed my camera for work and I haven't seen it in a while. I will be posting those updates soon.

I love all of you!
