The pop cultural phenomenon has ended its run. In celebration, our friend hosted a finale party to watch the last episode. This is the dessert we brought to share. (A 7-layer S'more with the necessary dragon toasting the top)

For John's birthday, we headed to Rambo Ridge to spend the day with family friends. We swam in the lake, explored the mountain, flew Jeremy's drone, and ate cake!

While she was down, Mom also got the chance to visit her dear friend, Yvonne.

Mom and John came down to Texas for a visit. We all went to Grapevine to the aquarium with our friends Scott and Connie, and her brother, David.  It was a blast!

Cheers and Happy Birthday to John who turned 61 today! Time to party down at the river near Gore, Oklahoma. 61 beers and 61 candles!

I'm pretty sure everyone had a great time!

​This has been a weird summer. We have left Colorado to start our new adventure in Texas, but our apartment will not be ready until August 10th. So now all of our stuff is storage and we are staying wherever we can. We have spent the last two weeks with Jeremy's parents in Oklahoma City. We brought along our board games, camping supplies, bikes golf clubs, etc.

​Plus, their backyard is protected by beautiful toads that come out and eat all the June Bugs just as the sun goes down each night. I love hanging out with them. They don't seem to mind me much (until I try to take their pictures). 

Jeremy's brother's wife's sister's wedding. Yeah, did you catch all that? Let's just say our good friends Melissa and Chase had a beautiful wedding!  The rain held off just long enough for them to finish the ceremony and walk away as "Mr. and Mrs. Hall" Right as they got to the large tent for the reception, the heavens poured soaking anyone silly enough to be meandering around.

The clouds kept everyone nice a cool during the outdoor reception and the rain was beautiful and didn't last too long. They entire thing was wonderful.  

Who doesn't love spending family gatherings playing intense games of giant Jenga? Perhaps this is our new family tradition?!

Our house in empty. Everything we own is packed into a 26' U-Haul truck. Thanks to the help of our amazing friends the Hampsons.

Only a few hours left as official Colorado residents. 

One of my sweet babies graduated today as valedictorian of his senior class!

I began teaching him in 2nd grade in 2006. His mother and I became close friends and I went on to teach his three younger sisters as well. Jeremy and I are treated as an aunt and uncle in their lives. 

I am going to miss him and his whole family.

​*We plan to come back for the graduations of the other kids as well.
