HAPPY BIRTHDAY DALLIN!!

Dallin is 12 years old today! He will be joining the other 4 boys at Scout Camp next month. He will be playing 'full-field' soccer. He will be able to play soccer for the middle school next spring. He is no longer a little guy!

Congratulations Kyle!

It's official! Kyle has graduated! It was a great night. The weather has been absolutely suffocating here in the South, but for tonight - it was bearable.

As soon as I get the pictures from the camera, I will post them.

Thanks to those who have sent cards and congrats to Kyle!

JUNK!!

How does one family acquire so much JUNK???!! And why do we keep it?? The kids moved in to their new rooms in the addition (yay!!) and we're working on cleaning out the old rooms. Where on earth did we pick up so much stuff?? I've been trying to figure out what to do with all of it, but then I get overwhelmed and go read a book :) I've really got to get a grip and get a move on it and CLEAR OUT the crap.... Any suggestions?

Thought I'd post a 'happy' picture - the Carolina Jasmine had another beautiful year. I don't know that any other flower smells so good!

We've got a couple of busy weeks coming up - Kyle graduates this Tuesday (way to go!!) and then Keenan and Tyler are going on a trek with the youth at church. It's supposed to be kind of like the pioneer journey west.

We made it through soccer tryouts - all 5 boys are back to playing at Charlotte Soccer Club. This will be Kyle's last year :( Keenan and Tyler are playing on the same team and Dallin is double-rostered with Ethan's team.
