Keaton's Spring Choir Performance

Keaton had her last choir performance last night for this year, it was a great program as usual, they sang songs that had to do with different era's in American history then finished the night with a tribute to the military. I love going and watching her sing, she seems to love it even if some weeks getting to practice at 7:15 am is rather hard....

Kids keeping us busy!

Kenzie high school state swim meet! (I just love this picture of her even if she's not swimming at the moment)

Keaton's started lacrosse this year and loves it! she is doing awesome!

Ethan #20 is playing lacrosse again this year and doing great!

Megan, she is still play softball, switched teams and doing amazing and loves her new team and the opportunities she is getting!

Well as usual we are always going and it doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon, I wouldn't change a thing! I love to go and watch these kids grow and learn from their experiences in sports and school. What I don't like is how fast they seem to be growing, Kenzie is finishing her Sophmore year and just registared for College coarses so that when she graduates high school she will also graduate with her associates degree (general ed requiments) and go right into her bachlors degree.... Ethan is finishing 8th grade that means from now on his schooling will be high school..... Megan 7th grade almost done really? and then Keaton..... can she really be almost done with Elementary.... someone please slow time down!

Our Cruise 2011

our towel buddies/ San Juan



St Thomas paddle boarding!


Megans Bay

Atlantis The Barrow Family San Juan

We went on a cruise to the Caribbean April 1-9, 2011 we had 14 people with us our family of 6, the Dunn's family of 5, my mom and Ned, and Danny's mom Joyce. This was the first cruise for my younger 2 kids and Jeff and all of the Dunn kids, my mom, Ned, and Joyce, let's just say everyone loved it and we are all planning to do another one!

This had to be one of the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation that I personally have ever taken! The kids all hung out with their cousins and had a blast all week, they could eat when they wanted, we had amazing room stewards that cleaned up after them, and an awesome waiter at dinner that brought us a few extra appetizers, entree', and desserts. I thought I would come home and gained 20 pounds, thankfully that didn't happen!

Our cruise went to Nassau, Bahamas, St Thomas, San Juan, and Grand Turk. Nassau we went to Atlantis the resort/hotel is amazing and fun with lots of water slides and different things for the kids to do, a very pretty island but didn't get enough time to really enjoy the island, our next stop was St Thomas and island I have always loved we went to beach in Megan's bay and hung out at the beach, paddle boarded, and the girls got their hair braided, then off to San Juan, we spent the day going to the old fort El Morro and shopping, found some great shops, a very cool butterfly shop that had some gorgeous framed butterflies, then some of my favorite shops (coach, dooney, just to name a few) so I enjoyed this a lot! and we then set sail for Grand Turk the capital of Turks and Cacaos we had never visited this island and I must say it is one of the most beautiful islands that I have ever been to, snorkeling was amazing, the beaches whiter than I had ever seen!

This was truly a vacation I will never forget and can not thank all the family that I spent the week with for making it even more enjoyable! I unfortunately don't have many pictures as the memory card from the camera fell out and is lost...... but I did have a few from my phone thankfully!

Christmas 2010

Kenzie Homecoming

Kenzie and her date Blair

And my beautiful Mackenzie! She was asked to Homecoming but such a great guy Blair I can not believe I let her go on a date that wasn't supposed to happen until after college....

Watch OUT!!!!

But I am grateful for 16 years ago I became a mom! The best thing to ever happen to me it all started with the most amazing now 16 year old Mackenzie only to add 3 more amazing miracles to my life what an amazing adventure kids are and I am grateful everyday to have all 4 of my babies in my life!
