Leon's Graduation....yay!!!!

After 3 challenging and demanding months, Leon has successfully graduated from the academy!!!!!!!

I wasn't able to be there, but these are some of the pictures that were shared with me. I am SOOOOOO proud of him!!












The 6 that will return to work in WA together

Wyatt's First Haircut!

I finally broke down and decided it was time for Wyatt's first haircut. First, you must understand that he was bald for about the first 16 months of his life, and so when he finally did sprout some hair, I didn't have the heart to get it cut! It was getting fairly long in the back, so I decided it was time. He did so great!.......held really still, and didn't seem to mind it at all. And now he looks like such a little boy!

Ghosts...Pumpkins...and 2 adorable Dinosaurs!!!

How fun it was this year, with Beckett being old enough to understand and get excited for Halloween. We've had their costumes for a few weeks, and he has been talking about going Trick or Treating, and getting to wear his dinosaur costume (he has even worn it around the house a couple of times, preparing for the actual day....). Both of the boys were green dinosaurs....SO cute!!!

Moving Day

Oh, the bittersweet day has arrived. I had a really hard time dismantling my home, packing everything in boxes, and saying goodbye to our sweet little house. But, in all honesty, I'm relieved to have sold it so quickly (especially in this market), and to be able to move on towards the next step in our journey. Besides, it hasn't been the same here ever since Leon left.

We had quite the crew show up to help me move our belongings out of our house and into storage this morning. I cannot say enough, how amazing our family and friends are. I want to sincerely thank each of you....I am so very grateful and appreciative for all of the help I have received. This past while has not always been easy, but your support has made getting through it possible. Thank you, thank you.....thank you.

6th Anniversary

6 years ago today, it was the most beautiful, perfect day.....

Wish we could spend it together, instead of 1000+ miles away! Love you, Leon... I.N.M.W.Y.

My lil cowboys

Happy cowboy (finally!....he let me take a picture of him while he was smiling!!!)...........





And a not-so-happy cowboy.............. ;)

Greenbluff & Brunch at Becky's

Becky invited several of us to a Saturday Brunch at her house, and she fixed Ziploc Omlets. I had never tried that before....but it was a lot of fun, and they turned out great....an especially good idea for such a large group of people. Everyone brought omlet toppings, and then we added them to our baggies, along with the eggs. She tossed the baggies in a pot of boiling water, and a few minutes later...the omlets were cooked and ready to eat! Yum. She also had a pretty spread of muffins and fruit. Thanks, Becky!








There were LOTS of boys there, and Beckett was very intent on trying to keep up with all of them....I think I counted 16 kids altogether.



After brunch, we all headed up to Greenbluff.....always a fun fall tradition.


Hmmmm......which one?!
