Graduation Day!

Well, we made it through one big change in our lives! One of my babies is all grown up and graduated from high school! The service was nice - Pastor Mark Bishop spoke and she received her diploma after singing a few songs with the school choir and with Eric Wilson and Fransisco. It was a great night! I have mixed feelings about letting go and feeling old, etc., but I guess that's normal! I will post pictures later this weekend. I sent her some flowers to school on Wednesday and surprised her! Her dad, Michelle, Grandpa and ma Melchor, cousins Sam and Rudy and Matt and Emilie all came along with my dad, Teresa, Mom, Heather & Brian, Aunt Tara, Trisha, Nana and Len, Grandma Reid. We took lots of pictures! Amber is a little nervous as well (and should be:) about a new chapter in her life beginning! She is all registered and paid to go to Hyles Anderson this fall. It was neat, Trisha brought a photo album that had pictures of Amber and Brooke in it. There was one picture of Trisha at her graduation holding Amber and Amber was crying. She found out that Trisha was going away to college and thought she was leaving that night! How sweet! So, we got a picture of Amber and Trisha that night!

I have been oh so tired all week. Summer's are hard because it is so doggone nice outside and hard to be inside because of it. I love being outside and therefore the housework gets ignored and then its rush rush rush to get everything ready for the next day, resulting in me not getting into bed til 11pm or so and then getting up at 4am and hoping I don't get awakened inbetween those times by anyone which is never the case! I am so thankful I get to sleep in tomorrow! I went to Kyle's open house tonight and got to see a lot of people from First Baptist that I haven't seen in a loonggggg time! That was fun! Jeremy went to the property to get wood to build chicken cages and hunted for turkey for awhile before coming home. The chickens go to the meat market Monday morning...

Thursday night, we let Isaac have fun with a toy for his birthday - we couldn't wait to give it to him (his birthday is Sunday). We bought a go cart for kids 6 and up and he loves it. He was a little nervous at first, but after learning how to drive it and control it, it's the greatest thing in the world! It has a remote control so if we need to, we can kill the engine for safety reasons! The chickens were flying when he tore through the yard by their shed! Thank goodness none of them died of a heart attack! He loved the horn on the cart as well!

Well, I've got everyone else to bed and sleeping so I'm off to bed as well. I hope to take the kids to the mall tomorrow morning for a few things and then we have another open house to go to (maybe 2) in the afternoon. Busy day again! Jeremy is going turkey hunting in the morning again, rain or shine. Sunday we are celebrating Isaac's birthday and then going to his kindergarten graduation at 6pm at church and the kids' school awards are that night as well. I will post pictures tomorrow hopefully. Have a great weekend!
