I am so happy to be back HOME! A piece of my heart will always belong to Texas... I learned so much while I was there! I found a greater appreciation for family, true friends, the Grace of God, and to always stop and smell the flowers along the way!
Arizona is a beauty all its own and anyone that says it isnt beautiful has never been here! With all the rain we had the hills were carpeted with wildflowers the way I remember from childhood! I LOVE waking up in the morning and sitting on my porch swing and enjoying the majesty of beautiful Mt Graham!
My life isnt what I planned... but So much more then I ever dreamed!!
Keeping with our tradition of making shirts for the 4th of July, Jarelyn and I wanted to do something extra special this year to show our respect & appreciation to the HotShot Firefighters that lost their lives protecting land and homes in Yarnell Arizona. Jarelyn came up with 19 Gold hearts to represent each one! I think it turned out super cute- like the little girl wearing it!! We added stars to her hair and some red,white, & blue bling before she headed up to the White Mountains with Grandma and Grandpa D Kerr!
We went to our FIRST Diamondbacks game this summer and had a BLAST
We Tweeted a Thank-you to Aunt Maxine that made it on the big screen but you can't read it in the picture- Had an amazingly fun time! Look forward to doing it again!!
Every year Jarelyn & I have celebrated our choice to homeschool by having a NOT Back to School Day when all the other kids go back to class. This year we were so blessed to get to have some amazing friends to share the day with!! We spent the day up at Mt Graham enjoying beautiful weather! We had a fun picnic lunch, made tie-dye shirts to wear for our group activities for the year, did our All About Me/When I grow up I want to be.. pages. Jarelyn wants to be a Mermaid at an Aquarium! There was lots of running around and exploring and enjoying fresh air and swinging! Each person colored a page that was a puzzle they had to figure out{it says, "Our Class Rocks"} We finished up the afternoon by reading Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day This day was most certainly NOT any of those!!
