Off to California

The kids and I are leaving tomorrow. Poor Rob will be by himself until the 12th. Probably will not post until I get back home. I will not have much computer access while I am there. Talk to everyone when I return.

Bah-Chee -- A new friend

The other day Lance was looking out the window saying Bah-Chee is riding the bike. Jas looked out the window and no one was there. She asked who was Bah-Chee. He was riding a horse and running around the yard. Needless to say, Lance has a new friend (imaginary). Ethan must of sent him to Lance we figure. Right now Bah-Chee is stuck on an airplane.

Lance told me I will get to meet him someday. We can't wait!

Strawberry Pickin'

Last Saturday we went strawberry picking. It was fun. Lance was eating more than he could put in his basket. Jasmine got dirty digging in the plants, and Rob used his shirt as a basket. It was a beautiful morning. That was something we had never done as a family. We had a great time and would definitely do it again.

Good Eatin'

The other night we had spaghetti for dinner. Lance really got into it. He was looking really funny. The next day he went to Kacy's, and she said she could not believe how much he ate for lunch. I sent him the leftover spaghetti.

BBQ weekend!!

We had a great time hanging out with our friends this weekend. We did some great BBQing. The kids had a blast together. Unfortunately on Sunday we got rained out by severe thunderstorms only after we were out there for 4 hours so I guess we were lucky.

Jasmine's Graduation Party

Jasmine had a great party with her friends. We had about 15-17 soon-to-be high schoolers over. We were brave. They all had a great time in the pool and spa. We were happy they all had a great time!

Ally's Birthday party

We had a great time with Ally at her 3rd birthday party. She got a pink bike for her birthday. Lance loved to try and ride it. He did not want to get off of it. Rob, of course, didn't want him to be on a PINK bike, but I said just let it be.

Tom and Travis visit!!!

On May 17th Travis and Tom came to Missouri once again. They did a lot of fishing and hanging around with Rob. They had a great time. Both of them even had the pleasure of helping us take off the top of the pool. I have some pictures of Tom, but Travis wasn't around for these. He doesn't like being in pictures anyway. We were happy to see them.

Our geese family!!!

Just lately we have noticed a family of geese in our front yard on some days. The geese are getting so big. I thought they were so interesting to watch. They are so protective, and the babies must grow so fast so other animals cannot eat them.

Jasmine graduates!!!

We are so proud of her. She had a celebration ceremony at her school, but it was so dark my camera, of course, was acting up that day. I have some pictures. She walked in a ceremony and then attended a dance with all her friends. She looked so beautiful!!!

It has been so long!!

I feel like I have been out of the loop. I am sorry I have not been here in so long. Unlike Salena we are having wonderful weather on most days. Besides finishing school, Jasmine's graduation, and then her party it has been crazy! My camera has also been acting funny. Sometimes I take pictures and then go to preview them and poof it is gone. I have been investigating that also. He is a brief update.
