Kellen's Kindergarten Graduation

I am such an airhead lately that I completely forgot to put Kellen's graduation pics up. He graduated June 1st and here it is June 22nd. LOL I guess better late than never. He wasnt exactly thrilled about this whole process, I think he was in it just to get the presents and cake after!!! I just can't believe how big my nieces and nephews are all getting.

Book in progress

For those of you who know and those of you who don't know I have been currently working on writing a book and man oh man who knew how hard it would actually be. I have been working with a consultant with a publishing company and they have been helping me out immensly. The book is basically about what to do before, during and after a deployment for familes in the military. There are so many resources that I am having to go through and getting permissions to use some info has been very difficult, but in the end its going to be worth it. I am definetly going back and taking a college english class again just to freshen up on some basics. As much as I dont want it to, this book is going to take a while. I am working on the outline and it is very complicated due to the many phases and issues and things that need to be taken care of with this subject. MY consultant is great and I have daily contact with her. I just need to get my outline finished and then get to writing. I am excited, something to consume my time and something I can do even when I am sick. There is already a lot of interest in this book, but luckily the publisher I am working with has made it so the rights on my book and the idea are locked down tight so no one can swoop in and steal it and run off with it before I have the chance to get mine out there. THe crazy thing about this is I have already gotten 2 more ideas for books to write, one is a children's book and another is based on medical situations and the whole field and knowing what to do, what not to do, the right way to go about things, whoknows, maybe one day I will get into fictional and this might be my new career.

Keillie Hayward

MY friend Lissa's little 8 year old girl was diagnosed with stomach and esophagal cancer in December and the Dr's havent given her very long to live. We are currently in the process of trying to start fundraisers to get her up to a cancer center in Northern Idaho, but it has been very difficult in such a small town. If anyone knows of places to go or people that would be willing to help out a single mom with her little girl, please let me know!! Thank you!

Family Reunion

I recently went to a family reunion this weekend and it was so great seeing all my aunts and uncles that I havent seen in awhile, or the last time they saw me I was in the hospital! I am so happy that everyone is doing so great! I cant wait for all the new babies!!!! IT was great seeing everyone, I would have taken pictures, but had a little crisis with the camera before coming down!!!!

A day at the park

We have started back up our summer tradition where every Thursday or Friday afternoon all the girls (MOMS< AUNTS< GRANDMA's) take all the kids either to the park, swimming or just somewhere they can have fun while we all get got up. Last week we went to Tauphus park and had a picnic and let the kids run wild




My sister, what can I say lol
