Krazy Kyla!

Kyla has really come into her own! She has broken out of her shell and she has really blossomed into a really talkative, crazy-kind of girl!





















Kyla has taken a few trips with my cousin, Carrie and her family! She went camping in Bishop, Ca and went to stay on a Ranch in Colorado. She definitely had her fill of nature's pure beauty!

Kyla's favorite "modeling" poses!

You can tell that she's got raw,

natural, talent huh?

These were the killer cows.....ready

to attack at any moment!

Wild horses with Kyla's favorite miniture donkey! She said it was

exactly like the one in the movie

Shrek.

Kyla is such a good helper with all the little guys!

Here she is with Carson.

Having fun with fishing!

Kyla and cutie pie, Camryn!

Don't fall!!!

The little gang and the two teens!

Cute baby smile!

Darryl was an awesome wrestler in high school!

Darryl & Scott (baby Kyla, too) at a Giants game when we lived in San Fransisco!

We lost Scott way toooo early! It was devastating & extremely disheartening when he took his own life!

Scott was a fun-loving, care-free and warm hearted person and was a friend to all!

WE MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU ALWAYS!!!!

Jammin' July!

July is jamm packed with birthdays!

My dad, older brother & sister share birthdays all within one week of each other!

My dad! His birthday is July 18th and he would have turned 60 this year. He has been gone now for 20 yrs. Can you imagine knowing you were going to die and you were barely pushing 40? Now that so many of us are almost to that age ourselves..... it is hard to comprehend!

My older bro, Jeff! Born on July 20th, 1971. He is the oldest of us five kids. Look how cute! ;)

Janelle, my older sister came a little over 11 months after Jeff on July 14th, 1972. My mom said that Janelle was her "prettiest" baby!
This is a representation of who Janelle is! .... A total SPAZ! ha ha

I love this picture!

Me and Janelle during our "big hair" days in high school!

Me and Jeff walking together for my younger

brothers wedding!

The 3 Musketeers! We had great fun together and still do! Love you all!!! And Happy Birthday! :)

Think Again!

Just when I thought baseball was over..... we received a phone call inviting D.Jay to play in an 13 yr old tournament! After a week of practices, the teams got to play at Maverick Stadium! The boys were so excited to play on such a nice field. So from Wednesday to Sunday.... we were at the field every night and eventually won the championship! Now I think it is safe to say that baseball is over! :)

This is how Scotty passed the time! Being a goof-ball!

Blast off.....

Last month..... Scotty graduated from Kindergarten! The theme was "Blasting Off Into 1st Grade". It was sweet and my favorite part was when all the kids sang and did sign language to "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". It made me tear up! The weather was great and they even provided a lunch!

Scotty & his wonderful teacher, Mrs. Kolbold. She had a difficult year with her husband having terminal cancer and passing away! She still managed to keep it all together! :) We will miss her next year!
