In Memory of...

Just wanted to send a note to those I miss this Memorial Day. My Grandpa S., who passed away last fall. My Grandma K, who passed away in 1996. My Grandpa K, who passed away in 1988. My Uncle Brucie, who passed away in 2006. I miss you all and think of you so often. I hope you are all in a better place and can't wait to see you all again. Time passes too quickly and in the blink of an eye a year, or two, or 20 have passed. You are never forgotten.

Also, in memory of my loves grandparents. I never got the chance to meet his Grandma, but know from the stories what a wonderful woman she was. Also, his Grandpa, who passed away less than a year after we got together.

God Bless those we lost. I love you all!

Happy Memorial Day!

Bless those who are serving our country and all those who have lost their lives preserving my freedom. God Bless the USA! I love this country.

Tristan graduates Preschool, Look out Kindergarten

SINGING GOD BLESS AMERICA AND DOING A PERFECT JOB!

My little baby boy, without even asking me for permission, has grown up and right out of preschool. I don't think that I want him leaving. Preschool is so safe and still fun, where your biggest consequence is going to be whether or not he was good enough to make a macaroni necklace. His buddies at preschool will long be forgotton as he passes on to being a "big" kid at KINDERGARTEN. Wow, that is hard to say without yelling and freaking out. As I was sitting there in his kindergarten round up being told that k-garten now is not about the social, but about the academics, I got a tear in my eye at how quickly this all happens. One minute I am holding him in my arms and I am the coolest person in the world to "wow mom look at so and so, he is so cool he can pick his nose and flick it." While this is not based upon a real event, yet, I so dread the day that I have to drop him off around the corner and no more big kisses for him mom. I will be a bumbling mess, as if you cant tell by my rant here.

I do love this smart, smart and athletic boy so much. I want him to be a friend to ALL kids in his class, I want him to have an easy time in school, I want him to be kind and compassionate, I want him to be happy and enjoy school and have respect for his teachers. He has so much potential and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE his spirit, his energy, his stubborness, his strength in who he is already and his conviction of who he is.

HIS XYLOPHONE SOLO!!!

God BLess my Baby Always! Because no matter how old and tall and strong he will get, he will always be my baby. (Please dont sing that last line to Mariah Carey).

So, here he is graduating and performing for us. My favorite moments, which I didn't capture so well, was everytime it was his turn or he got to do something, he turned to look at me with a smile that overtook his whole face and love beamed out of me so strong.

So, there ya be, the sappy mom tribute to her most beautiful boy!

Congratulations Big Guy, You are my love and my life!

SaVe ThE HoOhAs

Go TeAm HoOhAs!

Our team rocked the walk, with over 55 people signed up on our team, we raised over $800 to go to the Komen for the Cure. What a wonderful experience that was witnessed today, so many impressive people of all kinds (moms, dads, kids, grandmas and grandpas, pets, babies, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandkids and the list goes on and on) coming together to find a cure for breast cancer. Look at these great women below, it is estimated that one woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every three minutes and one woman will die of it every 13 minutes. In the U.S., a woman has about a 12 percent, or one in eight, lifetime risk of developing breast cancer.

Thanks to our team we raised money to help find treatments and prevent deaths among us. Thanks ladies for a great and memorable time and race. Over 17,000 people showed up to support Komen for the Cure on Saturday at the Gateway, what a great showing we had in memory of Allison Christensen.

Our Team, minus half. We had 55 total sign up.
