The DeKay Elison California Reunion

We miss our dental school days. We really miss our dental school friends. Some days I ache for those days. For Kentucky.

For that time in our lives. 

Those days were so sweet. 

I can't let myself think about those days too much because it makes my heart ache. It was such a time of growth for our family. We learned how to be our own family. We met people who we grew to love like family that would forever be family.

The Elisons were very special friends. Jamie and I talk on the phone about once a week. We have decided we need to see each other every two years and so we planned this trip to Disneyland four the past two years.

It was awesome.

It could not have gone better. The weather was good. The park was not crowded. We had a great place to stay. It was magical.

Preschool First Day

Bobby started preschool yesterday. He was so happy to be going. I am doing a homeschool preschool group with him. Our group has four students, Bobby, Joyce, Maren and Brooklyn. I love doing this with my kids. It saves so much money and I think it is fun too. 

Happy First Day

The Reds Were in!

This summer we went fishing down on the property. The red salmon were in so thick that I could even catch them! Winnie and Grandpa caught many together, Hannah caught several all by herself. Bobby and Robert even caught one on Bobby's Sponge Bob Square Pants little fishing rod!
