MATC

Just a fun picture of the Dental Assisting instructors at Mountainland Applied Technology College.

I'm not very good at goodbyes. Losing my mother-in-law was a very hard goodbye to deal with. I have put off posting about her because it only confirms the reality that she is gone. Its been 18 weeks and I still have a heavy heart when I think of her. I miss her so much.
I will never forget how friendly she was to every single person she looked at. She never needed an official greeting. She always took the initiative and made herself your friend. She was a joyful person and I loved being with her.

Cap and Gowns

I'm sure I don't have a single follower and that ok. I catching up on the year of 2013 and then it will be a permanent farewell to the blog. So I apologize if you just happened to check my blog and for the post that are over a year old.

This is just sad. I have been sidetracked with the ease and quickness of Instagram to keep up with my blog. I don't post ALL the pictures on Instagram I take so I guess I should still update my blog more often.
We had 2 graduations this last spring. Keegan told us for weeks that he was not going to participate in his Kindergarten Graduation. He was serious. With some bribery and giving little attention to the matter, Keegan ended up going and he did a fantastic job! He loved his teacher Mrs. McPhearson! She also helped talk him into attending the program.

Ted also put on a cap and gown when he received his Associates degree. He never got around to continuing his education because he had an excellent paying job and also that job required a lot of time. Things have changed for us and we are doing what ever is required of us even if that means going back to school. He has been super diligent and got straight A's all year. He is still attending school to get a bachelors in business management. And then if he still has the time and steam he will try for a masters. I am very proud of my husband. He is so smart and super tough. We both do our fair share of complaining. But he is the one who takes action.

After Teds graduation we went to dinner with his family. I had to take this picture of our table. This family is serious about the Cokes being full at all times. They always ask for 2 drinks at once!

Daesha turned 9!

I made Daesha lunch to take to school on her birthday. The fact that she got to take a lunch instead of the schools lunch was exciting for Daesha. Once she opened it at school she got an extra surprise with every item in her lunch wrapped like a birthday present. She got Teddy Grahams, fruit snacks, ham sandwich, pretzels, jerky, and a juice box.

I went to her school later that day and took some cupcakes she could share with her class. Her teacher gave her a birthday crown to wear. Which she did, all day.

Once she got home from school we took her to her most favorite place to eat.

Then once we got home she opened the gifts from her brother and her Mom and Dad. Keegan got her the Panda cup, She got a new wallet and a Monster High doll from us.

The Adams came over and got her the best gifts! Sure the lip gloss and 2 dollar bills were awesome! But this.....

CROUTONS!!! Are one of Daeshas favorite snack.

Our new apartment is pretty small so getting the family together in our house is pretty much impossible. But Daesha did get to have a few friends over for a birthday party. She loves wearing her pajamas so of course it was a PJ party she wanted. We made it a late night and I was surprised that all the parents allowed their girls to stay till 10.

Leanne Searle make this awesome panda cake for Daesha. She LOVED it!

Guess what the girls did while waiting for everyone to arrive?? Played minecraft. seriously???

These girls know Daesha well. SHE LOVES MONSTER HIGH :D

Coloring Shrink Art. The girls thought it was soooo cool watching them shrink in the oven.

These glow stick balloons were lots of fun. We ended up playing hide and go seek in the dark with the glowing balloons to help us see. The girls were screaming and laughing their little hearts out.

Instagram

I have really enjoyed instagram. And I plan on printing a book of all my posts. So I am not blogging those because I dont want to double the work. And if the book turns out better than what I have been printing with Blurb. I may just stop my blog. GASP.
