Beach Day- 4th of July Weekend
Spending the holiday at the beach.
Even Rudy got in with the festivities.
When the song Danger Zone comes on
really seems to pump up everyone.
Rudy LOVED every moment at the beach.

Garden of Eden
Over the hill, along some very curvy roads, down the train tracks, through frigid water, beyond the rocky mountainside, there is a magical place called the Garden of Eden.

Pre-Dinner Dance Party
Since these boys had their dance moves down from dance lessons, they were very excited and confident to attend their graduation dance.
All the boys and their families came over and enjoyed a great dinner
compliments of the "Taco Lady."
These handsome boys getting ready to celebrate 3 years of hard work and good friends.

Having to Let Go too Soon
I have heard many parents talk about the teenage years and their feelings about having an "Empty Nest." I really thought I was a few years away from experiencing those emotions since Matt is only a junior in high school. What I wasn't prepared for the reality that at age 16, he has left us in many ways already.
This summer he was so busy with his musical and sports, we hardly saw him. It seemed I kept waiting to plan family activities because Matt always had a prior commitment. As I look through our pictures of Summer, he is hardly in any of them. This makes me sad. Then I begin to think about all the amazing activities he has been busy with throughout the year. He has many talents and interests and his activities show that.
Matt- Thank you for having the courage to try new things. Thank you for sharing your talents with others. Thank you for taking advantage of all the wonderful opportunities that are presented to you. Thank you for setting such a great example for your siblings (all 6 of them). So grateful that you can simply Enjoy Life!!!

Teenage Disgust
Aaah, the teenage years. We are in the midst of them with Matt. Even though he is pleasant and easy going most of the time, we have moments when he has a pure look of disgust on his face.
I remember not to take those moments personally and think about all the joys of being 16 again. I try to remember him as a 2 year old. His chubby cheeks, big beautiful blue eyes, his laughter, and his wanting to be loved and kissed all the time. And boy did I kiss those chubby cheeks all day long. What a pleasure to watch him grow and see the young man he is turning into.
