Visiting Dad/Grandpa

Maddy calls the cemetery Grandpas Forrest.. sounds good to me. Kennedy never had the opportunity to meet my dad, but she knows all about "grandpa Ed", Im so thankful Maddy remembers him.

This was the first time Kennedy went to the zoo and really understood and knew what the animals were. It was also the first time any of us had seen the new dinosaurs around the zoo. Kennedy is much more cautious then Maddy. It was a nice day for a family outing



Buggggs

Maddy loved the new dinosaurs

Kennedy not so much

And again

again.....



The train. Kennedy didnt seem to care to much about it. I have this same picture but Kennedy is only a month old. Ill have to find it.

Homestead

I got a great deal on citydeals.com for a night stay at Homestead resort with 2-18 rounds of golf for an excellent price. A few friends joined us and we had a blast. The course was gorgeous, and the atmosphere around Homestead was so fun. We sat and listened to music outside our rooms while enjoying a cocktail. It was a great get away with our friends and enjoyable getaway from the kids. Thanks mom for taking them the night.

I wish I had not forgotten my swimming suit

Tasha graduates!!

Did we think it would happen? I sure have my up and downs with this girl. But I love her like a daughter and would not expect anything less then graduating high school. And I reminded her every.single.day. I know there were several mornings she was cursing my name, but it was all in love. She did it, and with a pharmacy tech license to pave new opportunity.
Little Miss Tasha came into our lives a few months after we moved into our new house. She was so smart and full of enthusiasm, I'm sure that's why we fell in love with her. She was 11, I believe. She quickly became part of our family. I hope to see all the hopes and dreams she had at 11 years old come true. My girls view her as a sister and I hope that never changes.
