Wow, I'm behind!

So I am waaaay behind on the blog, I apologize. It has been a busy summer for us. We have been to Bend, Oregon a few times and down to California. You saw the first part of our trip to California but missed the second part. The second half, we stayed at my grandma Fran's house in Los Altos with my aunt Kathy from Nevada and my mom came down as well. Here are some pictures from our time down there with them.

Ah, yes the hose.

My feet.

Hey Daddy!

Pointing at James and Kiely.

Big smiles!

Tickle tickle!

Class of 2009

In late may I found out that I had enough credits to Graduate with an Associates Degree in General Studies. I graduated on Friday, June 12. I am pleased with myself, especially with having Teagan early. You may or may not remember my water broke the week before finals Fall term! I feel great that I have accomplished a goal, and that I am now a well rounded person, mentally, not physically! I brought Teagan to school with me to pick up my cap and gown, and he decided to try on my cap, and enjoyed playing with my tassel.

As it turns out my school's colors are green and gold, so he was dressed appropriately.

Here is Michelle with Teagan, she is the one who helped me out with all my classes and got me organized so I could graduate. Thank You!

I believe this is a picture of me walking down the aisle to go sit down with my class.

Sheryl caught me going across the stage, but I must have walked to fast, so it is a double, including my size! But you get the point.

My Mom and me.

My supported husband and me.


Here is my proud Dad, me, and my Aunt Jane!

Me and James

Poor Teagan, it got pretty late for him since the graduation started at 7pm and his bedtime is 8pm, and the graduation ceremony took an hour and a half. James brought along a bottle, but it was too cold for his liking and spit it out on James , so the ended up walking around most of the time. However, I did look out while I was walking across the stage and saw them standing up in the back, so I know they saw me too! As soon as we got Teagan to the car and in his car seat, we hadn't even left the parking lot, and he was out!

Thanks to all that supported me while going to school. Much love and thanks goes to you!

So what is my plan now, well keep going to school and try to get into the nursing program!

Friends & Family

This is my mom and my best friend Lacey, who came down to hang out with me for the weekend. Lacey lives over in Redmond, and my mom in Tigard, so it was nice to see them!

This is my best friend, Kirk, we were able to hang out over 4th of July. He lives up in Seattle and came out to the coast for a visit. It was great seeing him. He was my "Male of Honor" at our wedding! I wouldn't have done it any other way!

My brother, Adam, and I. He came out to Astoria from Bend over the weekend of July 19th. He is my little brother, anbd yet he is way taller than me....not fair!
