How Do You Say "Thank You?"

This is a video that was presented during our church service at Southeast on Sunday, May 31st. Just wanted to share with those who would like to see it.



Special thanks to Scott Allen for helping me create this video & all the other memory media for our family. We love you Scott!

Flower Child

Kaelyn got ahold of several Valerie bows off her bow board and decided to wear them all at once. What a cute little flower child!

Happy Birthday Gwanddad!

The kids gave Gwanddad a call this morning to sing him "Happy Birthday!" Kaelyn always gets VERY excited when that particular song is sung. As soon as we hung up she turned to me and said, "where's the cake?"

Catching Up

Here are some of the pictures from our Disney trip two weeks ago. Our family was invited to join my cousin Ryan's family for their trip to Disney...we had a wonderful time.

Florida battled a tropical depression the entire week that we were there, so it was by far the wettest trip to Disney that we have ever taken...but still fun, nontheless! However, I have very limited pictures this time because I was always fearful of taking my camera out of the bag for fear of ruining it from all the water.

Kaelyn just looked through the pictures with me and reminded me that she did not like Goofy or Donald Duck. When I asked her why, she told me that they both made her cry...which is true...she did cry every time she saw them. Crazy girl!

A Visit from Kendall & Krista

Krista & Kendall came for a visit today...along with Lisa & her crew, they took K & Zeke to the zoo today while I worked from the house. My kids had a great time running around playing with everyone..they were completely worn out when I put them to bed tonight.

For dinner we all went (along with Bryan) to Gringo's. It was really nice to have the opportunity to sit around the table and talk...it seems like it has been a while...it was good to catch up. It was a really nice way to spend the evening of the 3 month mark since Brad's passing.

Trip to the Beach

We took a trip to Galveston beach on Saturday. It was so much fun getting to watch the kids run through the waves and to see them rolling in the sand. Zeke LOVES the beach. He would spend the whole day in the deeper water, jumping waves..he enjoys it so much.

Preschool Graduation

Zeke's school hosted a little preschool graduation this past Thursday morning. As I sat back and watched Zeke walk across and wave, I smiled at the thought of how much he has grown and matured this year. The moment was so bitter sweet...Zeke was so proud of himself and I wished that I could have been there with Brad, watching Brad's reaction to the event. I could just see Brad grinning at Zeke's pride and excitement.

Zeke is enrolled to start Kindergarten this fall...yikes! I can't believe that I am old enough to have a school-age child. Zeke has enjoyed Pre-K so much this year...he has been blessed with amazing teachers and has learned SO much! I am absolutely amazed at how quickly he took in all that was being presented in class. What a gift for him to be a part of such a special program, surrounded by teachers that cared for him so deeply. God certainly blessed us with this experience.
