where do I begin....

Actually I should just direct you all over to my FB....but here I go...


We had Chantelle come visit a couple weeks ago, it was great to see her again and we all hope that she can hold out while Kyle is gone....time will tell!
at Lakeview Drive enjoying lunch and being together



Once again pictures loaded out of order, this was just last Sunday at Kyle's farewell...

I have this picture posted on FB but it is soooo darn cute I had to blog it as well!





cute little family...



These picture are at the Seattle Temple on a very rainy day! What a wonderful blessing to have Mom, Dad, Brian, and Shannon join Kyle and I!









Brian left for school Monday morning...he made it safely and started classes today.




And last but not least Kyle was set apart this morning as a full-time missionary and boarded the plane a short time later. He will spend tonight at Kristie and Dave's and then enter the MTC tomorrow around noon...so the journey begins!


I think I was about to cry in this picture... :/

I think Kyle was about to cry in this one...



and there he goes....


phew.


That is enough for one month!


Just want to take a moment and THANK every single person who has helped Kyle (and our family) in helping him reach this point in his life. There is no possible way to thank each and every person and words can't even begin to express my personal appreciation and gratitude. I do not think that the statement "it takes a village to raise a child" can be anymore true in this situation.


Thanks!


Now, I am going to take off my make-up and climb into bed and watch something insignificant on TV and hope I can sleep!!!


Day one starts tomorrow...but who's counting???

it's officially spring...that can only mean one thing...

SoFtBalL sEasON!

her last softball season...

forgive me but I might just be a little sentimental these next few months...

I've posted plenty of pictures over the last 4 years and I am doing it more for myself so forgive me that there are quite a few!!

the first 6 pictures are delivering a fast pitch...



now up to bat...


Brian and Kyle will get to go to a couple games before they leave... as you can see they are bundled up. I was in Wenatchee earlier that day and it was 68 and windy, by the time we got to Waterville (elevation over 2000 feet - town is on top of a mountain!) it was 56 and I swear the wind was gusting at hurricane levels...well not quite but MAN it was windy!!! I wore 3 coats :)
and this is just a random picture we took up there, it is a cool old barn.

The End.

I promise I won't post anymore softball pictures until maybe playoffs!
