My Little Girl turns 12


Our world changed 12 years ago on June 6, 1996 at 7:22 a.m. That is when our first daughter Jenna was born. She was strong willed from the beginning. She learned how to walk at 9 1/2 months old. Jenna has always loved to be outside and on a adventure. One of her adventures led to her knocking her front teeth out. She was a big sister at 19 months old and loved her LoLo from the beginning. She is great sister and friend. Jenna is an awesome softball player. Has always had A's and tries hard in school. She is very focused and has goals. She is growing into a wonderful young woman.
Jenna loves to shop and loves reading her Seventeen magazine. She always has makeup tips for me and fashion ideas.
I know we have our moments Jenna but I Love you. Thank you for all you do for our family and being my friend.

More Events since April

Jack's class had a dinosaur program. He loved studying about dinosaurs.

Jenna had a wonderful choir concert and finished her first year of middle school. Onward and upward. She made the honor roll second semester also.

Lauren finished the fourth grade and is now top dog in elementary school. I can't believe she only has one more year until middle school.

Kate finished her third year of preschool and is ready to go to kindergarten. She will be going all day long. She is so ready.

I started a new job at the Village Preschool in Littleton Public Schools. And it back to school for me in August.

Jim is the backbone of the family and keeps his days busy with work and his nights busy coaching baseball, softball and yard work.

Jim and I celebrated our 13th Wedding anniversay on June 24. We went and stayed overnight downtown the weekend before and had a wonderful time. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for watching the kids.

More Fourth of July Pictures



More pics of me and my girls



Fourth of July Night




The evening we grilled steaks and had a wonderful dinner. The kids could hardly wait to light off fireworks. They started asking from 4:00 on. They sat and ate ice cream while they waited for the fireworks to start. The kids loved playing with the sparklers. Jack was so excited running back and forth with so much excitement. He could hardly wait for the next one.
The girls and I were prefireworks entertainment.

Fourth of July




We had wonderful Fourth of July. Jim and I got up and walked around the park then wecame back and had a pancake breakfast. We then went to the pool for barbecue and swimming. The kids had so much fun. The pool provided games and water balloon fights.
