8th Grade Graduation





Jordan has graduated from the 8th grade.  She will begin High School next year.  Boo, I'm very proud of your accomplishments but especially proud of who you've become. And it would do your mom a great favor if you'd stop growing up now.  ..... just sayin.

Neighborhood Ho-Down !











Each quarter our apartment complex holds a neighborhood gathering.  This time they grilled out hamburgers and hot dogs and rented a karaoke machine.  Once mom started, she couldn't stop !!  We had a great time together and with our neighbors :-)
