mckenzie grace and i went to dallas to an art studio to celebrate harpers birthday. one of my joys was meeting jennifer hewetts miracle. we cried many tears together longing to be moms! owen and will got to have lunch off campus with mrs. craig! thank you suzanna! mike pannel led the paladins and although they lost every game...look at owen...the game ball made it all aok!

PCS AND GLADNEY

one of my joys as a mom is participating in school activities. first grade..owen studied egypt and mckenzie grace sang songs in pre-k! sunshine always includes us in special events at gladney! this was our third year in a row to attend six flags and celebrate adoption with other families. marylinda and her kids came this year which added to our fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what do tying shoes, easter, baptisms and pcs all have in common?

LOVE! never a day passes that i am not utterly thankful that God said, "YES" to being a mom! we went to nordstrom to buy easter shoes and attended shoe tying school! easter 2012 was started with a celebration with the kleppels. we went to hnw to watch our friend zachary get baptized. one of the things i love about our school is the parent involvement!! troy and i enjoy many moments at our school celebrating with our kiddos!!

more memories

our girl loves ballet and sugar. our friendship with the greenes has grown and we are so thankful they came for the rodeo. in march troy was diagnosed with kidney cancer...shock..fear...faith...and a ton of love poured into our home. our church community embrassed us and served us as well as houston northwest, providence and our bsf friends. haddon had a sleep over with us and we went to see a three d movie....and last but not least....a new family has moved to spring and blessed our lives. the schorlemers invited us to their ranch and memories galore were made.......
