Summer Fun...

These are just some of our cousins that we have seen lately. Recently my niece Alex graduated from Kindergarten which shows how time flies by so fast. We like it when we can see how they have grown so fast. The picture to the right shows the very house that I grew up while living in York Valley during most of my childhood years. I love this place and the special memories that were made there. I am glad that we kept this house in the family so my children could create new memories with their cousins now.
To the right here is my cousin Chloe Hilton whose family recently moved to Alaska for three years. They are a military family whose father is in the Coastguard for five more years.

Our Wedding Best

Here we have cousins Michelle, Vanessa, and Alex with us for the wedding fun. Girls had so much fun seeing horses, and visiting their Grandma Louise before we headed off to Aunt Mary's house. I showed the girls some favorite places I liked to play as a little girl when I lived here years ago. Being at my childhood home sure brings back alot of fun memories of the river, the hills, and of course the many cousins who joined in our adventures.

Brandon and Rachel's Wedding Day

My cousin Rachel got married this past week, and the ceremony was beautiful. We got to see lots of our cousins, and visited with friends throughout the day. My kids enjoyed playing with their cousins rarely seen, since schools out for the summer. Melanie's family was there too, and we rarely see them ever, so we enjoyed visiting them.

Last week of school

This week is my kids last week at school, so they are very excited to just play this week. Sabrina is turning 14 yrs this week, and she wants to have a swimming party with her friends. Frankie is now 10 yrs, and I can't believe how big he is getting. Ariana is going to be 9 yrs, and she seems like she is going on twelve. I don't know why my girls are in such a hurry to grow-up, cause seems just like yesterday they were so much younger. Anyway just trying to be excited about the long summer days ahead. So another year gone by and more adventures to endure with family and friends.

She is currently our youngest child, however she tries to be the oldest by her attitude, and bossiness. Ariana loves arts and crafts of any kind. She likes to express her imagination through coloring with her markers and crayons. Ana is very talkative, and likes to socialize with anyone who will listen long enough. She tries hard in school, and likes attending her church activities where they keep her busy. She likes animals and she loves our cat Sox who is a fat cat to say the least. Ana is a happy child who makes our family complete.
