Awards Night for Jordan and Dance Recital Pic's

I guess you could say being cute runs in the family! I'm a little behind in posting the things that have been going on here but Jordan had an incredible awards night the other night. I didn't get to go due to fighting a bad cold but Tammi went and said that Jordan was so cute. She received an award for being so happy and cheerful all the time. Its hard to believe that she will be going to High school next year and then start drivers ed this summer as well. I can't keep up with these kids growing up. They are getting way pretty and growing into beautiful young women.








Jordan also had Dance recital with Jayme and they both did very good at that too. I was proud of them for all the hard work they put in all year and then to do this recital to show what they have learned for the year. I'm very impressed. We didn't get to have Jessica come home for recital this year but Jenna sat with Dad on the front row in his usual spot front and
center.
Even though the pictures are a little dark you can still see their smiles. They danced very well this year and had great attitudes about all the work it takes. Way to go girls! Mom and Dad are way proud of you, we love you.

Jenna's Graduation...Another Mile Stone for me.


It seems like just the other day that Jenna was heading off to school for the very first time and sporting that beautiful smile of hers to boot. She is very pretty and her smile just makes people smile around her. Her Graduation night (Tuesday May 20, 2008) happened to fall on one of our worst wind storms of the Spring season. Everything was fine until we were all inside the building and then during the ceremony it hit with a powerful force. Sand soon covered the entire gym with a haze from the flying dust particles. Only moments earlier we had a cool breeze to cool off the hot gym so the doors were open and then it hit. It was so bad that we had to have pictures inside the gym and then make a run for the cars. Jenna will never forget that as we drove our cars home in a blinding sand storm. So bad that you couldn't see ten feet in front of you as you drove home. once we neared our home things were much better.

What a great night it was though watching Jenna marching with her class and then getting to see her celebrate with them as they changed their tassels to the opposite side of the cap. You can tell from the pictures we were all happy for her.

This means we are down to two children left in our family to go. For me it was sweet Joy to realize I had made another Mile stone .....one I truthfully didn't think I would ever get to see. She has been a blessing in our lives and we will miss her time away from us. We Love you Jenna and we realize just how much you do bring joy to our family. Smile forever

love

Lawn Mowers Convention

It couldn't of been a better day to mow lawns this past Saturday. So the girls did just that, taking some pressure off of old DAD here. Jenna is passing on the finer points to Jordan, which include Ipod adjustments on the run. Music Library for mowing and of course how to get those legs the much needed sun. You can see here on Jenna's vitage model ; Craftsman 3000 or something like that. The seat is something to be desired and yet this fine piece of machinery mows a little over an acre of grass each week...Any bets as to how long it will hold up this summer? One thing for certain I have the cutest Lawn Mowers in the circle. I have also given our place the nick name "Sylvan Winds Resort Golf Course" as I find many golf balls due to my brother in law and opposite side neighbor. They seem to like to send golf balls to my lawn, I save them to tee off my deck someday. Hopefully, windows will be spared.

Even though its cold one day and hot the next the Mowing must go on and on and on. Three times thus far this year. I think we should of thought about the gas expense when we put that much lawn it. Not even the green fees are covering the gas these days!

Keeping it real here on Sylvan Winds Resort.
