A Few Fun Items happening in 2014

Jake's brother turned 40 in January. I was finally able to give him his man card in May as weather kept us from traveling awhile.  Lots of ice storms this year.  

Beautiful rainbow outside of Mike and Christie's house.  Can't believe my iphone captured it so well.  Obviously, my nice camera would have been better.  

Birthday celebration for Mike!

Jake's Dad turned 60 May 20!

Kimberlyn found a comfortable place to read and relax.  

On Memorial Day we had an impromptu get together with a bunch of friends.  It was so much fun.  I was slightly worried weather would get us, but that was not so.  It rained everywhere but my house.  While we do need rain desperately, I am thankful we were not rained on these few hours.  It was so much fun.  The dads played Bocce Ball outside.

Blake got to go to Chuck E Cheese on his actual birthday as a Field Trip with his Kindergarten Class

Celebrating with his school buddies

Kimberlyn returned to her original dance teacher Ms. Caren.  We love her dearly.

Jake got his C License!

Blake made a good soccer buddy!

Kimbo has made a good soccer buddy.  She makes Kimberlyn loosen up just a bit.  K was embarrassed to do this.  But she makes Daisy slow down and think thoroughly!  They are a great combo.

Kimberlyn got to call out the 05 and 08 Shepard teams for the ice bucket challenge.  No one wanted to speak and Kimbo raises her hand that she will do it!  I love my little volunteer.  That is how she became a goalie as well.  No one wanted to - ok I will!  May she always be willing to fill in where there is a need.  Amazing team player.

My dear friend Ladydenise is now Kimberlyn and Blake's school counselor.  My heart overflows with joy.  She is a dear friend I have worked with for 6 years.

Kimberlyn got her nails professionally painted for the first time.  They painted an Orchid on her big toe.  So beautiful.  What sweet feet as well.
