Randon photos....

Here are just a few random photos....

Jade eating her first of many cookies...she is really not a sweet eater...I guess she can hang with dad....I still have Ian!!!


Joe Burke was in town with Cat one night and stopped by...his wife my have thought he was having a relaxing night...but he had dinner with us...and played Nerf gun...while she was at home in Kentucky..taking care of her 3-under 7 years...and waiting for #4 to arrive...anyday. Jeff hired Joe right out of college when he was the Business Manager in Danville Kentucky...it turned out great!! He LOVES Joe..even though they don't work together anymore:(


Ian on his last day of school...he was so happy!!!

Ian loves getting into Jade's crib in the morning...it gives me extra time in bed...so it is great for me...and Jade loves it...she loves her crib. Her ideal life would be having Jeff sleep in with her in the crib...I know he meets the weight requirement:)


The little red Volkswagen...this little car was Amanda's(18), Grant's(12), Ian's(6), and now Jade's(1)...I will be saving it for Amandas little one...someday:):) My dad worked for Volkswagen for 30+ years and he always had great toys for us kids...this was a favorite of the grandkids....

More Graduation day....

Ian and Amanda both graduated on the SAME day....my luck!! Anyway it went great...I was a little sad seeing my baby boy grow up and I really about lost it went I found out Ian was doing a reading at the graduation...not sad...scared to death. I couldn't imagine him reading in front of ALL of those people...but he did GREAT!!! The highlight of the graduation was Ian receiving an award for being the most positive role model, polite, well mannered, etc...kid in the school....ok...I guess they don't see him at home...but I am so happy he is sooooo good at school. We LOVE his school...we loved the small class size and all the one on one learning he received this year.
I tested him at home...must be the teacher in me...but... he tested out a 3rd grade for Reading and 3rd grade for Math...2nd grade for Science...I swore I would never do that but I had to know:):) He will have 18 kids in his class next year...he loves school!! He is busy playing golf, tennis, taking swim lessons, and doing Art and Spanish classes!! He is getting really good at tennis...guess all those England lessons did pay off:)



Amanda also finished out her high school career...she did great and we couldn't be more proud...I was doing my normal..."good luck Amanda" on the sidelines and I said this is it...high school is over...that is what the look was about...she was VERY SAD..but she is now ready to compete at a new level...
The journal star named her Track Athlete of the year...it doesn't come out until tomorrow...but the photo shoot was SO COOL!!!!
