addi's first book

Addi wrote her first book. This kiddo has such a great artistic mind.

These are her pages, in order. My favorite page? Her dedication page ... it's to me! :)

For our family time with Curtiss, we went to a Dbacks game. We lost (booo) but still had a super fun time!! We took the train again. Sooo much fun.

back to iraq: adults golfing

We just found out this past week that my baby brother, Curtiss, is going back to Iraq and reports on July 11. He leaves for GA on July 3rd ... we're gonna miss him! So ... this weekend went spent some good, quality time with him as adults and as a family before he leaves.

For our adult time, we went to a golf course in South Phoenix. It was a beautiful course. We played teams: me and Heath v Curtiss and Mike (Curtiss' best friend). I had to leave early to get the kiddos, but we still ended up tying (nice work, babe).

Memorial Day Vacation: Grandpa Reid's

I hadn't seen my Grandpa Reid (mom's Dad) in a few years. It was so great to see him and catch up in person. The kids loved his train set and I loved the family history.

This picture was taken in 1935! It's a picture of my family, friends and extended family
at our family's airport in San Jose, CA when it was first built

Memorial Day Vacation: aunt Kathy's

On Sunday afternoon we went to Aunt Kathy's for Samatha's Jr High graduation and Chris' birthday. Sam and Chris are my cousins.

When we first got there, there was this little chipmunk in front of our car, we almost ran it over.
It was so young, its eyes weren't even open yet.
