Barbecue and pool party for Nicoles birthday

Nicole is turning 12 on Wednesday. She got a part in the Jungle book so her first practice is that day so we will wait for the weekend to have her party. She is a beautiful, sweet and talented little girl that I am very proud of and love very much!!

I've been sorta sad lately. My dear friend Marlie and her family moved to Virginia last week. She was the one person I hung out a lot with the kids. Her boys are very sweet and we will miss them dearly. It's not like they moved very close and I hate to fly so we will be lucky if we get out to visit sometime. I was thinking in a couple years we can get out to Washington DC and make a stop in Virginia.

Also are a couple pics of the kids for their first day of school. They are very happy and excited this year. They seemed to have gotten good teachers too.
