Braces, Hospital, Skydiving, and Graduation....

I have been so happy for Cassidy.....since age 4 she has had some sort of Orthodontic appliance....a little break in between......but finially she is done......!!!!!

Today she had her braces off!!!!!!

Dr. Poremba has been so good to us and we are totally thankful for his care over Cassidy!!!!!!!!!

And here is the end result!!! ONE BEUTIFUL SMILE!!!!! THANK YOU DR. POREMBA!!!!!! Even Jane (behind) was so happy for Cass!!

Of coarse we had to stop by and show Gramps the new look.

Nope....not a new dog...just a "found" dog.....lucky for Cass we contacted the owner!!!! Max and Harper were so mad this dog was in their yard!!

Jeff ended up in the hospital for 24 hours......scary but thanks to God he is ok....His buddy was right by his side!!!!

Even though Jeff was sick he wanted us to go to Elyse's birthday party.....Skydiving...

HA! would like to say they are one of these divers....but what do you think.....it's their first time..c'mon!!!!

ok....it was indoor skydiving....here is the birthday girl Elyse...it was so funny to watch them!!!

Here is Jeffery.....

Cacey....

Cass....she was sooooo funny!!!!! She didnt like the feel of the air up her nose so she kept covering her mouth and nose.....and she kept kicking the instructor! It was hillarious!!!

Here was the whole birthday gang.....Thank you Tracy and Anthony!!!!


It has been so great to eat outside...Our yard is feeling somewhat recovered from the harsh winter of NO SNOW....the summer has been really dry so lots of work on wattering. Jeff has that "Happy" look on his face doesnt he?????????

Cass, Aunt Cleo and I went to our cousins graduation in Pueblo......WHEW, talk about heat!!! Here is Cass with J. Bob

My Uncle Bobby, Aunt Cleo, and Baby Entynia....dont know if I spelled her name correctly but boy is she a doll!!!!!

Breanna, is always so creative...she did this cupcake tower...I loved it. AND those cupcakes were scrumptious!!!!! We had a great time.....good start to summer!!!!

Start of Summer....

Cass was off to Camp....Reformed Youth Ministries...she was soooooo excited and we were excited for her...its such a fun time for her with friends and a time to grow in Christ. This will be the longest time she has been away from home...one week. What will I do????

And just like that the week was over and Cass was back home. We went to Colorado Springs annual "Spring Spree"....not usually a fan but the girls wanted to see Jenette McCurdy from the show I Carly, she was going to be singing.....

Welllllll....we got there to see her and bad news....her mom is seriously ill with terminal cancer and was unable to perform. The girls were so understanding and signed a poster for her with best wishes and prayers.

So on to other things.....FUNNEL CAKE....mmmm. We had a fun time good to be outside and just walk around.

This just cracked me up......MY DAD with an I POD????? What is he thinking????

Well he couldnt make heads or tails of it....so Cacey was trying to fill him in....check out her "Angry Birds" shirt. HA!

Day off....we went to our new favorite YO YOGURT...mmmmm

It felt so good to be inside a cool place and eat some yummy coolness.

Cute flip flops...Cass had sweeeeet painted toes and she got these cute flip flops.

This was the first year we went to the Pikes Peak Hill Climb Fan Fest. It was pretty cool. Jeffery liked all the cars.

My buddy Vicki was there....she is why we really went...her son is a driver for one of the driver for Red Bull...He drives that huge semi behind us. I was so glad to see her!! It was sooo stinking hot!!!

More cool cars...

All the drivers were so great with helping the kids sit in the cars.

We couldnt believe how many people were down town to help the kick off for the hill climb...It was fun...the kids were really hot and did not want to stay too long....next year maybe we will leave them home. HA!

And of coarse baseball.....Jeff is again coaching this year...it has been fun and we like watching the boys play ball.

Jeffery has been doing really well pitching!

Jeff is a great teacher!!!




Look how cool the clouds look!



We have played by a field close to my dads house so he has come to a few games...we like him being there!!! He's goood luck...we have won every game he has been to.

Cass and I went to have our hair done....we took some cute flowers to Kerstina...Cass picked them out.

Cass and Cacey after Cass got her hair done....I think it came out great!!!

The before....

eeeekkkkk! We had fun just talking and getting our hair done...we love Kerstina she is great!!!! On to more exciting things I hope........

"44", Last day of school, and the big "D"

Jeff turned 44....yipppee....had to work this morning so the kids helped get his Birthday morning off to a great start just as if I was there.

Cassidy Graduated 8th grade and is the end of her Middle School education. Kinda sad for me....I just can not believe that she will be in High School next year.

Jeffery ran up and took her picture when she received her diploma....

Gramps came, he was soooo proud of Cass. Jeff couldnt make it. Really wierd they had the graduation in the middle of the day. Made it kind of hard for working parents. Waaa!

Mr. Coulburn and Cass....her history teacher...

One of Cassidy's favorite teachers all through middle school. Mrs. Valesco, Cass always had funny stories about her. When Cassidy said goodbye Mrs. Valesco actually cried.

We went out to lunch after Graduation....Cassidy's pick....Red Robin mmmmm! The whole lunch I just kept looking at her and couldnt believe how big she is, but so proud of what a good girl she is.....still could see my little "chubbles".....she actually came around the booth and sat right next to me...it couldnt have made me happier!!!

Last day of school....WOW....

Jeffery and his buddy Jonathan, next year they will not be at the same school. Makes me sad!!!
