It has been a really hard and trying last couple of months as we have had family members move away, Peter got laid off over a month ago and still doesn't have a job, our family has been sick for the last two weeks with who knows what, and to top it all off our dog Audi (Auders as the kids would call her) who was 8 years old just passed away. This was particularly hard, we loved her and she was a really good dog, we miss hugging her and having her chase balls out back. She had a few little tricks she liked to do such as, sit, shake, lay, and ballerina-she could jump higher than any other little dog I have ever seen. She will be missed.
On the other hand there have been some bright moments and even though all I feel like doing lately is reflecting on the bad and feeling sorry for myself, I know that life has so much good to give and I look forward to what is ahead.
Better late than never. Easter morning with Kessa and Grady.
Our little skateboarder. Ryker loves being on the skateboard and we just thought he looked cute in this little skate outfit.
My mom and Katie had their annual trip to Arizona at the end of May. We had a great time and I always look forward to seeing them. These are some pictures from their trip-I regret not having my camera more as we had so many fun times. The day after they got here we went on a boat ride-it was so much fun, the kids got in the water but it was FREEZING!
Some pictures from Uncle Dave's airplane at Falcon Field airport. The kids loved being inside of the cockpit. What a beautiful airplane.
Ashlyn's day to golf with Grandma. Ash had made a long list of things to do with Grandma which included golfing, soccer, Hannah Montana movie and other things and Grandma did a great job of doing everything with her.
A day at Freestone park-we had fun but not a place we would go back to.
And to top the week off we had a girls night out at the spa and then to Carrabbas (crappos! lol!) and had the best time ever. Thanks mom and Kate. I love you.
The kids have enjoyed a ride on this cool Chopper.
Ashlyn had her final school play and graduated to First grade-I can't believe it! Time goes by so fast. Her part in the play was "Betsy Ross. We needed a flag for our country was what Washington said, so Betsy Ross went to work with her needle and thread." She recited it with great confidence and we were very proud of her.
Our little Prince graduated Preschool for the first time. Although he will probably graduate two more times he couldn't miss the doughnut party afterwards! Plus he looks super cute in the graduation gown!

I love looking at your cute pictures. But it makes me so sad that I can't be there to support your kiddos with all of their fun stuff. I still wish that you lived here. We miss you so much. And we loved coming to visit you. I love that you put that amazing picture of me on there...I love it!!!!
The pages are adorable! It's good to see you are trying to put things back together, when it's tough. I've been out of work (accountant) for the past three months. It's miserable out there trying to find a job :[ Good luck to Peter, Congrats to the kids! Graduations are so fun :] And best wishes, I hope all pans out for the best.
Wow Min, I'm so sorry to hear about these trials in your life! Life sucks sometimes! I hope things get better really soon... I love all your fun pictures, your kids are as adorable as ever! Hang in there, I love ya!
Hey just wanted to pop in and say hi. I am sorry that Peter got layed off and that you guys are having a hard time. I can totally relate. Trav has been layed off since end of February and it has been hard. I am sorry to hear about your dog. They really our part of the family. I told Trav I didnt want to get a dog or dogs in our case for that reason. But good for you for trying to stay positive and looking at all of the good. Trav always says "at the end of the day it doesnt matter if we lose our house or dont have our "worldly possesions"... our kids are healthy and we have our family and that is all that matters. It is true just hard to swallow sometimes :) You look great by the way and your family is beautiful!
