Eric's High School Graduation!

My nephew Eric graduated from high school yesterday!  We were so happy to be able to attend the ceremony.  It was very heart warming.  There were 16 graduates and Eric stood out among his peers.  We're so proud of all of the accomplishments he has made over the years.  He is excited to start the new chapter of his life.  He'll be attending a program called One Step Beyond.  He has many friends that currently attend and more that are starting like him.  We're thankful to the many people that have helped Eric progress over the years.  He is like a ray of sunshine!  Always happy and friendly with everyone who crosses his path.  We love you buddy!!!  Cograts Eric!  We couldn't be more proud of you!

Eric graduated from Sandra Day O'Connor High School!!! 

Great job buddy!!!

Grandma and Papa are so proud of you!!!

Moving Day!

Over Memorial Day weekend we starting moving into our new house.  We were so thankful to have some wonderful helpers!  We unloaded the pod in 2 hours!  We're still in the process of unloading all of the boxes, but it's a start.  We're not completely moving in until the new tile has been installed.  Today they are pulling up the carpet and tile in the areas that will be replaced with new tile.  Getting excited!  A BIG thanks goes out to my mom, dad, Linda, Theresa, Eric, and our good friend Lucas.  Whew!

Eric and Theresa showed up to help bright and early!  They were a HUGE help!!!  THANK YOU!!!

Papa is always such a hard worker!  What would we do without him??????

Eric was the fastest at grabbing boxes and bringing them in.  None of us could keep up with him!!!

Oh my, so much to do!  My mom and Linda (Jerry's mom) helped wash and dry everything that went into these cupboards!

Wyatt was so happy to be reunited with the stuffed animals he hasn't seen in 7 months!!!  He was hugging them all and telling them how much he missed them.  Precious!

Kooldeck is in!

It won't be long and we'll be in our new pool!!!  We're out of school now and ready to go for a dip!  Last week they poured the Kooldeck!  This week is tile and stacking stone for the wall.  After that is the pebble tec!  Woot woot!

Papa checking everything out. :)

The top step will act as a place for the kids to jump into the deepest part of the pool.

Getting so excited!!!!

Amanda's High School Graduation!!!

I couldn't be more proud of my niece Amanda!!!  She graduated from Arizona Agribusiness & Equine Center (AAEC) last week.  It is a public high school that offers many college level courses in high school.  Some students were graduating from high school and also receiving their AA degree!  Amanda is going to go to college at Paradise Valley Community College.  It is a local college that she is familiar with because she took classes there while in high school.  She is working for Theresa as Eric needs transportation to and from therapies.  This past weekend Susie had a HUGE party for her and four other friends of hers that all graduated too (they've known each other since they were toddlers).  Mom and dad offered to have the party at their house with 100+ people!  Susie hired a DJ, their was swimming, and lots of food!  Everyone had a BLAST!!! 

That is Amanda on stage shaking her principal's hand. :)

There's my girl!  I can't believe my first niece is old enough to graduate!!!  Love you Amanda Panda!

Way to go Amanda!!!

Happy Mother's Day! :)

I had the most wonderful Mother's Day this year!  We went to church, had a relaxing family day, and ended with a pasta dinner. 

I love these boys of mine!  They made me the most wonderful breakfast!  I love my clay seahorse from Brody and my flowers/ card with coupons from Wyatt.  xoxo

My mom and I after church...I love her so much!  She is the best mother and grandmother!  We're all so thankful to her for the ongoing love and support she provides to all of us!  xoxo

These boys love their Mimi and Great Gram!

The boys were excited to create a Happy Mother's Day message for me on Minecraft!  Love it! :)

Great Gram got to come to one of Wyatt's soccer games!  So sweet!  xoxo
