Boys

These boys are a handful and so fun !!  Owen is losing all his steroid weight and his hair is lightening back up to blonde.  He still hasn't grown an inch so we are both anticipating a growth spurt soon.  Logi is growing like a weed and hardly looks like a 3yr old toddler, but more of a boy.  I am so grateful the boys have each other, brothers are the best!

Owen still loves his video games and can pretty much chat your ear off for hours about anything to do with video games, YouTube or eternal life.  I try to pay attention, honestly, but sometimes I just zone out.  Logi looks to make anything with chocolate and clean house (seriously).  Owen is a bit lazy, Logi is wild and active.  One loves video games and the other would rather ride his bike around the house naked.  They are opposites and I love watching them learn and grow!

My kids beg me to take them to my parent's house all the time.  They love to spend time with Grandma, Grandpa and Gigi.  I'm pretty sure they love Brennen and all of Gigi's other friends as well.  I have so many fun memories of long summer days spent with my Grandparents and I hope my kids are making those same memories.

Kam and I went to Les Miserables as part of her Christmas present.  It was SOO good!!  Carson took her to Hamilton the month before and they both LOVED it!!   Feeling grateful!

Graduation and College

Kamryn finished off her Senior year of High School in May and we couldn't be prouder!  Her friends all went stag to Senior Prom at the Aquarium this year and had fun dancing with the fish.  She crushed her finals and finished the year off with a 4.3GPA and all As in her college courses.  She is ready for University and already has a year of credits completed.  No more English, Physics and only one more semester of Calculus.  This girl is wicked smart, hilarious and determined to reach her goals.  I can't wait to see what she does this next year. 

I am so sad that her High School years are over.. the time flew by so quickly!  I am feeling more confident in this parenting gig.  We raised one amazing girl and now I just have two boys to turn into men.

Graduation was perfect!  There were over 800 in her Graduating class this year so it was a pretty long program.  Grandparents came out to support her and it was only slightly crazy trying to find her friends after graduation.

Kam was accepted to Barrett Honors College at Arizona State University in the fall.  She has enough Scholarships that her tuition is free and she even has some "extra" money.  She decided to save the $13000 she would spend on dorms and live at home.  She is majoring in Biochemistry and will apply to Physician's Assistant school after graduation.  We are so proud of her and all the choices she has made, especially this past year!  It has been a wild ride (to say the least) and none of it came easily.  "FORK-EM!" 

Summertime

This weekend I was looking back on my blog searching for pictures to use as a Father's Day gift and I realized how sad I was that I have been too busy to blog.  Life has been busy since last year and I am just trying to keep up most days.  There are just not enough hours in a day!!  I know one day I will look back on these moments and miss them terribly, so I am trying to soak it all in, craziness and all

I am going to do sort of a catch up this week on all that's been going on starting with SUMMER TIME!!  We are about a month into the triple digits in the desert and I can't say that I hate it.  We are loving the hot summer days.  The kids have been spending plenty of time relaxing around the house, playing video games and hanging out with their cousins poolside.  I have been slammed with school work, but it's amazing how fast these college classes go.  I have only a few more classes left and I'll have my nursing application in at the University.  It's so hard at 38 (almost 39), but I am kicking butt and getting it done!

We have a short summer this year with Owen starting back to school in July and Kam in August.  More on that in other posts this week.  :)  Life is good and we are happy!
