Highlights

We are leaving for vacation on Saturday and I thought I had better do a quick update before I go. We are going to Utah, Montana and Washington to visit family! And we will get to leave this awful heat for 5-6 weeks.

Now for a picture-overload update!

We said goodbye to a fallen hero, Crystal's dear friends son, Kyler Estrada. Killed in the Horne of Africa on Valentines Day.

We saw Air Force One land with President Obama.

William, Wayne, and Trey literally cleaned house at the Karate Championships!

Wayne posing with a very proud Sensei

I crocheted Jayden this super ruffly skirt for valentines day.

RaLee, a member of the National Thespian Society, running the sound booth at Higley High School's Center for the Performing Arts.

Ellie is growing so big, but don't let this sweet little face fool you, I think she might be the most mischievious little missy I have ever known! She sure keeps Crystal and I hopping. We definitely have to keep a close eye on Miss Ellie Mae

Jayden earned her teel colored poms and medaled in her cheer class.

William and Wayne, are awareded their Yellow belts with a white stripe and Trey is awarded his yellow belt!

William gets an A in the science fair!

Wayne wins second place in the Higley School districts art show! He drew the momma bear with her cub on her back(framed in blue behind him). He loves art and is very talented!

Jayden graduated from Kindergarten!

RaLee attended the Thespian Society's masquerrade ball

My brother, Mike, Meets Ladigo

Uncle DJ meets Ladigo

Ladigo is getting so big! He now has his two bottom teeth and is very close to crawling. He is just the cutest little boy!

William goes on his first TEN mile hike and camp out with the Boy Scouts. He did very well on the hike and had a blast!

We went to Payson to see my dad for Father's Day. We took him out to eat at the El Rancho. I sure love and respect my father and we had a very nice time.

Look who graduated and with honors! I'm so proud of RaLee! I will post more about her graduation at a later date.

DJ, RaLee, Me, Crystal, Amanda and Royal. We sure missed having Jessica there to celebrate with us.

Speaking of Jessica, she and John, and the children, will be sealed in the Spokane Washington Temple on July 20th! My eyes fill up with tears just writing about it.

Then the next day we will be in Newport, Washington for Sage's 5K memorial race. With proceeds going to The Northwest Infant Survival and SIDS Alliance(NISSA).

If your going to be in the area and are interested in attending, information regarding Sage's Memorial Race can be found at the following link. http://www.sagesdash2k5k.com/

There will be a dash that is free to children 12 and under, a silent auction, and pancake breakfast in addition to the 5 and 2K runs. We would love to see you there!

I hope all of you have a safe and happy summer!
