Graduating from Elementary School

To say I've been a bit emotional this year is an understatement.  Every activity I went to at the school made me cry because I knew it was Truman's last.  When I saw Truman  during the Halloween parade (dressed as George Weasley from the Harry Potter books) I started to cry.   When he was singing Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, I was crying.  During the Spanish Dance Festival, I was...yep, crying.  I cannot believe my baby is growing up.

 Here he is getting his diploma.  The best part of the graduation, for me, was when he played the piano. I am so proud of the amazing young man he is becoming.

This is my favorite picture of Truman and Bret.  It was taken when we were renting from Norma.  I still remember the moment this picture was taken because I was so happy to be a wife and mother.  I still am!!

Eve's Room and Mushy Stuff

Much to Eve's delight, she finally gets her own room.  She and I spent many late nights planning and painting and, and, and.  One of the nights I was up really late thinking back to the time I painted my ceiling black and white checkerboard with my mom (mom doing most of the work).  I now know that my mom is not a perfect person (only because I now know no one is perfect ).  Which goes to show, you don't have to be perfect to be a perfect mom.  I love you mom!!

Four generations.

Look Who's Growing Up

 Graham played soccer for the first time this year.  His cousins, Cooper & Ethan, were on his team.  His coach was his Aunt Cassi.  What fun!!

 Believe it or not, the day after Graham broke his elbow was one of the happiest days of his life.  What could be better than going to kindergarten with a cast on??

 Graham's birthday was at the park.  The kids all decorated their own cupcakes and then took a swing at the pinata.

 Happy birthday Graham!!
