When did this happen?!

Fifth grade dances,

Graduation dress shopping,

and all of a sudden the day is here and my baby is graduating out of elementary school. sniff sniff. . .

Memorial day took us to a graveyard

 My family were first to get there and so me and the girls walked around. It just felt so special to know why we were there and that every headstone held memories, stories, tears and love.

"To the outside world, we all growold. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time." Clara Ortega

 I love my family and it may seem odd, but I love this holiday. To stop and thank those who have lived a good life.

Memorial day started at a water park

random life happenings

We hit the Toms warehouse sale again this year. It was not as exciting as last year but we still spent plenty of money getting the kids all of there shoes for next year. Plus there is just something fun about digging for shoes in a box that takes me back to working the shoe store in the mall back in high school.

Then this old man had a birthday. We get crazy excited about ice cream.

And when I am not working I am super mom at a mother daughter activities. And you all should know that we won the three legged race. We are just so awesome. And just because I love this picture. My kids love when I surprise them by pulling into Panda Express instead of going directly home so they can read their fortunes. I think they nailed it with this one.
