So long, farewell

This week was a sad one when we had to say goodbye to some dear friends of ours...the Crossley's. They packed up and headed to Montana on July 18th!! We will miss them so much. Especially Summer who lost her Best Friend Mackenzie! And Hallie STILL asks to play with Alexiss!! When is she gonna realize that gone forever, means GONE FOREVER??

Hopefully we will stay in touch forever and do boating trips at Flaming Gorge every Summer. We have a lot of good memories with the Crossley's. I'm pretty sure they make me laugh harder than anybody I have ever met!

Summer & Mackenzie Hallie & Alexiss

Stacey & Eric (otherwise known as Beebo)

You guys Rock! We will miss you!

And I will get a picture of James on here...

As a silly side note...my kids think that the Crossley's moved to "Hannah Montana"... way cute!!

Suzuki Graduation

Summer graduated from Suzuki Book 4 last Saturday! They have these graduations once a year where you can graduate from a book and the kids get a little certificate. It's pretty cool. They play the graduation piece for their book in a big group. Summer played 'Concerto in A Minor-3rd Movement' by Vivaldi. She did great! Afterwards Sandee and I took the kids for milkshakes! It was a great afternoon.

I am so proud of Summer. She is becoming quite the violinist. She can learn a new piece so quickly and it always amazes me at how fast her fingers move. She plays beautifully. I just wish she liked to share her talent more (she's a little shy).

It's really rewarding seeing all of our years of hard work paying off.

Thanks for coming and supporting us as always Abu & Papa!!
