The Beach???


Apparently we have a beach down the road! Daybreak has its East Lake and there is a beach for the kids to play at. We had a great time! Here are Aspen, Adi, Aja, & Harley (in the yellow life jacket).

Aja's class had an award ceremony and party on the last day. She was so excited that the class voted for her as the Best Artist.

Playing at Steph's house while the moms work on the Anniversary Video







Look at all these bathing beauties! Adi, Aja, Aspen, and Harley enjoyed the water while Paula, Tami and Steph worked through the video for the Rowley Anniversary Party.

End of School Award Ceremony




Both Adi and Aja received the High Flying Hawk Award. It is the highest award to earn in their school. They had to accomplish 21 extra academic, social and service goals to get it. Great job girls! BJ, also achieved an award for being the "Overall Best Student" in his core classes. He was able to earn an extra credit award too, The Dynamic Diamond Back award. He received candy, gift cards, and lunch of his choice from Chili's in the conference room at school. Whew, hard work does pay off!

Playing Vet


While we were at the dentist, the girls got to play assistant. They brought home all their medical gear and have been playing veterinarian.

BJ's 13th Birthday


























Thanks to everyone for making his birthday enjoyable! His Florida cousins, aunts and uncles sent him money. He used this to buy his air soft gear. BTW, He loves air soft wars and is always recruiting the boys in the neighborhood to have battles!


BJ's last soccer game!











This is what my kids do on Sunday when they're forced to play together!

Happy Mother's Day!

Bryan and the Kids gave me a chaise lounge chair to relax with this summer!
But, guess who enjoyed lunch on it on Mother's Day?

My kids also pooled their allowance money together this year and bought me a new purse! It's the first gift they've ever bought me with all of their own money....I love it!
