First Birthdays!

I can't believe that our neice, Liz and our nephew, Benjamin are already 1 year old! They were born 3 days apart. Liz was officially 1 on the 18th and Benjamin on the 21st. We sure celebrated in style this weekend!

College World Series

This is the CWS ball that literally fell in my lap! Thuc, Colleen, Morgan, and myself went to the Arkansas v Cal State game on Saturday. The ball went through the guy's hands who was sitting in front of me, bounced off Morgan's hip & fell into my lap. Everyone was looking for it & I looked down, picked it up, held it up, and everyone laughed! :) Morgan & Thuc are "sharing" the ball.

So we decided that for mother's day, we would do a surprise home makeover while my mother was on a cruise with family. It took a lot of planning, more shopping, and tons of work, but it was well worth it when we walked out the door. Sadly, we weren't able to stay long enough to see my mom's reaction, but I hear Chrissy was able to record it all. Now I need to start working on my house! ;)

Christina's 16th Birthday

Chrissy stayed at our house while my mom was on a cruise. She celebrated her birthday with us. This is her reading Twilight @ 12 am on June 2nd.
And this is Thuc after we sang Happy Birthday, made noise, & popped champagne poppers!

Even Avery was pooped after all of the celebrating!

Melanie's Graduation

My dear sister Melanie (#4) graduated from Nursing School this past May. I had the honor of pinning her during the nursing pinning ceremony. It was special. I'd like to think that she's following in my footsteps?! :)
