Danny, at 5, in the cockpit of a fighter jet--his all time favorite photo!!

What Makes Your Monday!

Party Time....

We made it through graduation night and on to the party!! Hooray!!
We combined Matt's party with two of his classmates, Brianna and Tim.

It takes alot of work to get a party ready to roll, we could use some help from "Super Kimmie"! We had alot of guests and alot of fun in a beautiful location.
Kim and Luke are smiling because there were storms all around us, all day, but we only recieved about 5 minutes of sprinkles.

Gracie, Clare and Nate are enjoying the scenery on "the point" surrounded by water.Matt and Alexis enjoy the last dance of the night.
Congratulations, Matt!
May God bless you on your trip into the future.

Matt's Graduation

Matthew's on his way...

It is hard for me to believe that my baby boy is graduating from high school tonight. I am going to have to sound like my mother and say, "Where did the time go?"

One reason I know that this is true is by the amount of preparations that are taking place around me. Everyone has been helping in what can only be described as a frantic whirlwind.

We are hosting, along with two other families, 300 guests tomorrow at Oneida lake.

Laura made a super card box for her brother's cards.

I did feel Matthew should contribute something to his party, so with the encouragement of his girlfriend, Alexis, they put together the photo board.

If you have a chance, leave a comment wishing Matt a hearty congratulations!! (It has been a long road to get here!!)

Congratulations Laura!!!

Tonight we celebrated Laura's graduation from sixth grade. It was a very enjoyable evening with 6 of her homeschooled friends.

We went out to a "fancy" restaurant.

The kids had their own table and behaved themselves very appropriately.

Becky made a lovely cake to help the kids celebrate.

This was a very special evening for just our sixth graders. It was nice to have one on one time with these special young ladies and gentlemen.
We all posed proudly with our children at the end of the night.
