Mikael & KenaDee's Last Day of School

The last day of school was a very sad day for both KenaDee, Mikael, & all of their school friends; because it wasn't just the last day of the school year, it was their last day of going to Frontier Valley Elementary. It made me cry watching all of their friends tear up and give hugs.

KenaDee and many of her friends!!!

Vail Colorado




During spring break we decided to stop in Vail and stay overnight. Outside of our room were some of the biggest icesicles we have ever seen. They were taller than KenaDee!!! Ryan broke one off so the kids could enjoy it!!!


EASTER










We had a great Easter!!! This is one of my favorite holidays!!! Not only for religious reasons, but also for the celebration and it usually means that Spring time is here. I love to see the green grass coming back and all the plants and flowers starting to bloom again.

Mikael's Scooter Accident

I have always been proud to say that none of my children has ever broken a bone. Well I can no longer say that!!! Mikael's first week of track off from school my friend Shelly and I decided to walk to the park with all of our kids on bikes or scooter's. Mikael stopped quickly, lost control, fell and landed on his wrist. He spent his 4 weeks out of school not doing many of the physical activities he enjoys.





NJHS



We are sooo proud of Makenzie! She works very hard in school and because of her dedication she was invited to apply to National Junior Honor Society. After writing an essay, doing 5 hours of community service and a letter of recommendation from her 6th grade teacher she was accepted into NJHS.

Disneyland Trip!!!!


Ryan had a trip with work to California, so we decided to give the kids a gift of going along with him for a late Christmas present.  We spent 3 days at Disneyland and California Adventure.  We had a great time being together as a family, which can be few and far between these days with Ryan's heavy travel schedule. 

How did I get stuck riding the California Screamer!!
Ryan decided that KenaDee could not have a driver's license for a very long time!!!  I'm pretty sure he had whiplash afterwords.
Corbijn enjoyed all the great things he could touch!
The kids are in Jail!
Look at that face!!!
