Last soccer games

This was the end of soccer season.  Chase had a fun coach and was sad to see the season end.  He made three goals in the last game.  Parker's game was really early in the morning and I didn't get to watch it  because I didn't get any sleep the night before from taking call.   I also missed Zoe's last game.  Sean and Landon came down to visit for the weekend and got to catch Chase's game.

Bugz Play

Chase's second grade class play

Chase's second grade play was cute.  Chase wanted to be a fly so Steve sewed two strainers on for eyes.  It was a cute play, but all Chase keeps talking about it how his friend puked before the play

Soccer again

More soccer pictures from this weekend, next weekend will be their last game.

Parker goes to outdoor camp

Last week Parker spent the week at Outdoor camp with his class.  He had a great time.  I got to see him one day when I went up to help cook.  They really put you to work hard.  We prepared three whole meals and did the dishes for 150 campers three times.  We stayed for campfire and then left for home.

Family Reunioin

After almost four long years of my family being apart they finally united again.  Since Zoe has been home from China she has never know that my grandma Mary was my mom's mother.  A family feud that December in 2009 split the family up and there was nothing I could do to patch things up.  So we waited and waited, for my Grandma's heart to come around, meanwhile my grandpa was getting worse with his Alzhiemer's.  I was just about the only one that my grandma would talk to during these times and it was taking a toll on me.  They are three hours south of us and there is not much I could do to help.  I gave her one last plea a couple weekends ago to forgive and move on.  That week my cousin Danny's dad passed away.  Only God could orchestrate what came next. That very next weekend we were all together and all was well!  What a glorious day it was having my family together once again.

Ollie

This last weekend I took some pictures for a good friend and her dog.  On Wednesday I went with her to put her dog down.  It was a heartbreaking experience.  For the last month her dog has been unable to walk on it's back legs.  After medical tests and steroids there was no change, so she made the only humane decision left.     She was such a beautiful sweet dog, she changed my views of Rotwieler's forever.
