The sunsets have been a relief to the heat during these past weeks...this was taken by Lucy right above our house 


Audrey

Mom
 ready to have a college aged child


her senior sunset with family




Lucy was invited to attend a zoom senior awards ceremony and was recognized for:
Honors award 
(GPA award for having a 4.0 or higher for her entire high school career)
She graduates with a 4.4 cumulative.

Spanish Honor Society with a certificate for biliteracy!

Inspirational Athlete of the Year
( a big deal!)
(her name will be on the wall in the canyon gym...forever!)

So we rewarded her in style with a trip to Wendy's for a round of frosties and fries :)

trying on her cap
"who decided that these look good?"

Onto Audrey's drop off of books and pick up for her final 8th grade week!

This smile is classic Audrey :)

buh bye Sierra Vista

not going to miss it at all!


They were given these tee shirts so I had her stop and take some pictures to immortalize the day she could say goodbye to junior high.
She is really looking forward to high school!


Lucy had to take some photos for her coaches at Cal Poly in her cap and gown.
She wears the white for having over a 4.0 every semester of high school.
What a star!


Later, the young women's leaders in our ward did a drive by grad party for the youth. 
We were the first stop and I told her to where the cap. She looks so cute :)







I think Chester is the most excited about all this graduation business.
One final week and we should be all done with school...:)

The Milkbarn Path

Before fall came, Clay was determined to design and construct a walkway to the Milkbarn. Yay!!! Because we had a very narrow, shoddy (what? shoddy at the milbarn? *gasp*) ,  unevenly paved sidewalk to the front door which we knew needed a serious redo.  We bought the pavers from Lowes awhile ago and had them piled up in front of the house for months.  FYI, voles make homes under pavers.   Doesn't it look awesome ? Nice, wide, perfect curve and now easy to shovel when the snow comes. The curve looks just right against the angles of the house. I planted some tulips under the trees and near the front door.  I'm not holding my breath that anything will come up given my gardening expertise.  But again, I do believe in miracles. :) Truth! ! 1600 Sq. ft and going strong...and now with a pathway! I was trying to think of all the photos that have a pathway or walkway in them.  Here we are at the Fort Colli...

February 2019: Queen of Hearts

                                                                            💘 February is a mix of triumph over January and the heart filled cooler days until March. It's like the happy bridge to spring. But I live in a place right now where winter kind of feels  like a Colorado spring.  We even got snow the other day here! Turning a Nike shoe box into a valentine collector Chester's homemade class valentines :) Audrey's socks given to her by her sunday school teachers! She is kind of the queen of February On Valentine's day Chester's class was invited to make lunch and decorate at the Santa Clarita Valley food services for both elementary school districts. It was a big honor, only one class out of the 4 districts it services was chosen by lottery....
