One Year

Today marks the one year anniversary since my mom died. I was kind of dreading this day but it turned out very nice. My dad, Scott, Stacy, and I all planned to meet at the grave and then us kids had a picnic at a nearby park. It was very nice to spend time with them. I think we all had a hard time believing that it has been a year. So much has happened. My dad is dating someone and has moved to Prescott. The house is up for sale and some of the traditions are lost. We no longer meet every Sunday and life is just different. I still have all my memories and pictures which I will always cherish. I miss my mom and am sad that she is not here to see my children grow. I know that I will see her again and I know she is happy.

Laveen Parade

Today was the Laveen Anual Parade. We have participated in this parade for a couple of years and it is super fun. I thnk more people participate in the parade than watch the parade. Lance and Caleb got to walk in the parade with both football and wrestling.

The planes are the signal that the parade is starting.

This is the Stampede group waiting to get started.

Lance and Liam have played football for a couple of years together.

Caleb and Chris are buddies.

It was a fun day with a lot of walking.

Fun with Skyp

Last night we got to play around with Skyp. Our old neighbors and friends called us and we got hooked up on Skyp. It was so fun and the kids had a blast. We used to spend a lot of time with them before they moved so it was great to talk to them.
