Grandma C's Internment

Grandma C was created and at the time of her funeral, the family decided to wait to have the graveside burial at the C Family Reunion. Yesterday we had the service, the reunion and then continued to visit with family at C&K's house.

Closing the door on one chapter and opening another

Today was my last day working for the same employer for the past 9 years. I completed my internship with this company, was hired full time, worked as the Reservation Specialist for 2 years, then worked as the Adult Programs specialist for 5 years and ended working the last 2 years at the Youth Programs specialist. I learned so much, was given great opportunities and worked with an awesome group of people. But the time and opportunity became available for me to work closer to home.

My coworkers joined me for a good-bye lunch. My "team" that I have worked very closely with the past 9 years.

My "boss" got me a shirt.

 and I got her some of her favorite candies to help her get through the first few weeks without me and until they hire my replacement.

It has been an extremely bitter sweet few weeks. I will miss working with this work family and different aspects of my job, but I'm also looking forward to the new opportunities and challenges ahead! I start my new job on Monday.  

Fireman's Day

The local firefighters visited Lil Miss C's school today. Her teacher shared some pictures with me.

A non-family birthday party

Today Lil Miss C had her first birthday party that she went to that was not a family member or a family friend. It was a girl in her preschool class. I met some of the other mom's of her classmates and she had a blast!

A smaller crop this year but the girls still enjoyed picking them & we have a few to share with everyone.

Some BIG Changes...

Preschool Days

Lil Miss C has been doing wonderful at Preschool! She loves it and is learning so much. So far we are extremely pleased with our choice to send her to CP. Love that her teacher sends pictures of what they're doing from time to time.

Happy 1st Birthday M'Rose

B & the boys and me and the girls got on the road early and headed out west for M'Rose's 1st birthday party. The kiddos traveled fairly well. When we arrived, we let the kids play outside before the party started.

Then the festivities began.

M'Rose and her cousins.

After the party we went back to the hotel and the kiddos played in the pool

After swimming everyone hung out in the hotel rooms and I went and met my friend SC for dinner. It was great to visit and catch up with her. Miss her and wished we lived closer together.

Happy 1st Birthday M'Rose, so glad we were able to help you celebrate!

Walkin for Dot's Tot's

My Grandma C was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago. At that time she under went chemo and radiation and came through treatments okay. Earlier this year they found it in the other breast and this time she decided to have the breast removed. To honor her fight and journey, we participated in the Relay for Life walk.

Me & My Grandma! Love her to pieces.

I can only hope that I am like her when I get as "young" as she is.
