My Sister Stacey's Bridal Shower June 12, 2010

I was so happy that when I was in California I was able to attend my sister Stacey's Bridal Shower. Living in Texas I usually miss out on parties like this so it was nice to be a part of it. My mom threw the shower and the theme was "Breakfast at Tiffany's" it was a fun party!

It is funny how much we have started to look alike as we have gotten older.

My Crazy Sister... she is Hilarious!!!

Greg's daughter Audrey was tired.

Brandon's High School Graduation and Party

We left a few days before school was out and headed to California for Brandon's High School Graduation! Jared came a few days later and stayed for a few days. It was the first time my kids had seen Dad since he was diagnosed with Leukemia and they were a little shocked to see him with no hair! It was weird to see my little brother graduate from the same school that my dad and I graduated from. It made me feel old. My mom was a little sad because it was her last baby graduating. A few days later we had a party for Russell and Brandon... it was a blast!!

Mom and Grandma Lois were both sad... Brandon is their little baby.

Jaydon had fun!

Mom, Bonnie and myself went through old pictures and printed up some great ones of the boys over the years it was great to remember them being so little and amazing that they are still such great friends.

My granparents have a HUGE barn that they keep their wagons in and we were able to have the party in there. Here is the main group. There was close to 75 people there.
