Back again....

So we are finally somewhat situated in our new house, and I thought I would put up some pictures of a month ago when we went to Idaho and Washington! My sister started a dance studio and we drove up to Washington to suprise her and see her first dance recital. It was SO much fun, and it was so fun to see her suprised face! We also had lots and lots of fun visiting grandma's and grandpas! these pictures are all out of order!

Ava and Ashlynn were such divas! There was a "stage" at the park and they had a ball dancing and singing for us!

Ava had fun fishing with Grandma Parkinson

Amanda's dance group (with my little monkey in front. Amanda was SO KIND to let Ava participate in the dress rehearsal and pictures!)Even Ryan was such a good help he got a flower!!!
Those girls LOVE their dance teacher!

Ashlynn (my niece) did the cutest solo

Grandma hanging out with Brooklyn and Ryder at the park

WAY TO GO ROB!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to introduce the newest Arizone State University W. P. Carey School of Business MBA graduate....Rob Parkinson!!!! Wahoo! We are DONE DONE DONE! (Keep in mind he did not graduate from University of Phoenix...it drives me nuts when people say that. It's ASU! He had the same professors as the people on campus, same assignments, everything...just online.) I am so so proud of Rob and all his hard work. He managed school, a busy church calling, work, and a crazy family! He made so many sacrifices to get through school, and never complained. We love you so much Rob and we are so glad you are done FOREVER!!! Let's celebrate! LIFE-IS-GOOD!

Marseilles Dress SHABBY APPLE GUEST GIVEAWAY!!!!
So lovely!!!!

Good luck..but not Good-bye

Tomorrow morning we have to say good-bye to our best friends. We knew this time was coming, but I have tried not to think about it...and now it's here. Lacey and I started walking together when the girls were just little babies (and would stay in the stroller!) We would walk and talk for hours. From that our two families have developed a great, life long friendship. I don't think a day has gone by where we haven't talked or gotten together. Most of our greatest memories of Reno involve the Klingler's. Lacey is one the best, truest friends I have ever had. She is my "sister from another mister!" (Lacey taught me that!) We have laughed together, cried together, and shared life's highest and lowest moments. Words can not even express how much we will miss the Klingler's. Good luck guys, we love you!

Only 5 more days till Rob is done with school FOREVER!!!! (not like we're counting!)
