Summer is almost gone!

Wow what a summer i have had. I seen my oldest move out and spread her wings in Montana. Tim has had 2 surgeries on his hands, Treavor learned how to ride a bike, Tj has grown like a weed and has learned how to swim with his head under water, and Hailee didnt break any bones but has grown so much into a women. We adopted Katie as the family dog. It has been a roller coaster ride for me this summer and so sad to see it go and part of me is glad it is over.
We are taking a trip to see BreAnna over labor day weekend and just dieing of anticipation to see her. I am so proud of my kids and thankful for them in so many ways. I will post pictures of everything once my computer gets back from the doctor!!!

18 YEARS LATER

BreAnna and Penn signing their first lease!!

Right before they take off on their Adventure of a 10

hour drive,

When she got there this is the first thing on her wall

Penn put it up, it is her announcement that her grandma

made, has her name, birthdate and weight and all that

on it. Touched my heart

BreAnna is such a great daughter. She and Penn have left to go to Montana, What an emotional roller coaster for me. I have had over 18 years of raising such a wonderful person and know that she is going to do well no matter what she puts her mind too. I never imagined that this day would come and it has. I don't know if i was ready for this chapter in her life and mine. I guess with every step she takes in her life it is a step in my life of letting her go and spread her own wings. I cant wait to see what she becomes and does. I always thought that when kids moved out it meant that the parents were old.... i don't feel any different but just a little void in my heart were she was once kissing me goodnight every night, or walking through the hall way and pinching her or hugging her. Waking her up in the morning by singing and her groaning at me. Or telling her to do her chore and pick up her shoes. She is loved by many and so thankful i can call her my daughter!!! I love you BreAnna and very proud of you for everything that you are and have accomplished!!!!
