School is back in session!

I am so proud of my children as they all were so brave today starting a new school again and not knowing many other people. We are in 8th grade, 6th grade and 2nd grade this year. (The other boy in red is my nephew Jason.)

How much stuff do you need to send 3 kids back to school?.... A LOT!!!!

So I have been buying the school supplies for the kids a little at a time and stock piling them by the side of my bed. Well, I never knew how much it takes to get kids ready to start a new school year until I laid it all on my bed to pack it up...Take a look for yourself.

Summer Break 2010 is coming to an end

This summer has flown by for us.
We started off the summer visiting with a good friend Karen and her daughter Emily from Florida.



In June, We returned back to Yuma to swim as much as we could and pack our house to move back to Tucson. I don't recommend moving in the SUMMER when you live in the Desert!!!







Aubrey got tired of moving and decided to go to sleep where ever she dropped.


Damian celebrated his 11th birthday June 27th.


My mom retired on July 23, 2010 from McDonald's after 24 years.


My Nephew Adam left on his mission to Brasilia Brazil on August 3, 2010
This is a picture of all the grandkids on my side of the family.


Damian earned his Arrow of Light in May but was awarded it in August 2010.
