Brandon's second to last day at Burnham Wood Elementary

Brandon's last day at Burnham Wood is tomorrow.  As most know, we are leaving this dreadful city and moving to Olympia, WA.  It has been my LONG time dream to move back to the state where I grew up.  I love it as much as ever.  My SWEET, WONDERFUL, TERRIFIC husband has done everything he could to get us up there and he has succeeded.  I'm so grateful to him and to God for this move.  It's been a long, hard year, but it's looking up!!!

Brandon loves his teacher at Burnham Wood this year and he was on Honor Roll.  Hopefully, our sweet boy will love WA and his new school as well.

Here are a couple of his school projects~

Diorama for "Super Fudge". Hilarious book!!

Mobil of the the solar system.  Didn't there use to be another planet?

Happy 4th Birthday Gavin

You are such a delight!

Our Trip to the AZ

We went to Arizona to spend the 4th with our friends, Amy, Fred, Myles and Preston. We had so much fun. I must've dropped 10 lbs of pure sweat!





Westgate Shopping Center was an awesome place to shop, eat and have fun!






The boys thought this guy was really that tall. He made some cool balloon animals.


Myles, Preston, Brandon and Gavin hanging out, eating Zingers!



Watching some fireworks.






Wasted away again in Margaritaville ~




My Mom and her sister, My Aunt Darlene. We were so happy to get to see her!!!


Tombstone was a neat place to stop. Very historical. The boys did their own shootout!!!

Doc Holliday and the posse :)








Ride Makerz ~ This was the coolest place ever! It's like Build-a-Bear, but with vehicles. Gavin made a Dodge Ram Truck, Brandon picked a Dodge Viper and Mark got himself a Mustang. So much fun watching them pick the parts and then assembling themselves.








The rocks in Texas Canyon were amazing!


Beautiful sunset on our way home ~
