MAY



May has been a very hectic and stressful month so I will try to sum it all up.

The boys graduated from preschool and had the cutest graduation ceremony. They wore caps and gowns, received fancy diplomas, and sang songs. Leaving Mrs. Cox and Christ's Greenfield was very emotional for me. The kids have learned so much academically and spiritually there and Mrs. Cox has been a huge part of our lives for the past 2 years. She is an amazing teacher and woman who treats each child as if they were her own. We may have to attend services at the church every once in while just so we can see her. The boys were a little sad to leave too but they are looking forward to kindergarten at Taylor's big school in the fall. All 3 kids will be in school ALL DAY next year and I can't wait. I will finally have some freedom!

Brad left the Phoenix Fire Academy and went back to Go Daddy. There were many events that lead to this decision but everything happens for a reason and we feel it wasn't in God's plan for Brad to stay. Go Daddy welcomed him back with open arms and he seems much happier and back to himself now-only 20 pounds lighter.

My grandfather passed away on the 25th while in hospice care. He was surrounded by family and went in his sleep. He lived a good long life (90 years) and will be greatly missed. My mom is now caring for my grandmother which is a big job but she can't bear to put her in a home.

Heather, your family has really had a crazy month! I love the pic of the boys. Isn't it crazy they are gonna be in Kindergarten? Cade is super stoked too.:-)

And Brad, I am just so glad that he is OK and that he was able to jump right back into Go Daddy. Plus, you can do more of the things you used to do.

And your Grandfather, what a lucky man to have been able to live 90 years and been married to your grandma for most of them. He sounds like he was loved by so many. May the lord guide you and your family throughout this trying time. Love ya!:)

Oh yeah, did Stacey tell you I saw her Saturday night? So funny!

WOW you have had a busy, rough month!! Glad the boys enjoyed and you Christ Greenfield so much. We love it also and hopefully have another great year. The prices just keep going up thats what scares me.
Yes, my mom did tell me about Brad and I you are right about God not wanting Brad to fight fire. You might not understand right now "WHY" but 10 years from now you will look back and tell GOD thats why you did that for our family!! KEEP STRONG. POWER OF PRAYER CHANGES THINGS!!!
SO, sorry again about your grandpa and he is with your dad and granny and Odell probably telling a bunch of stories and laughing together. My mom told me your grandma moved in with her. Thats probably a good thing what your grandma need right now.

We are always thinking about you and praying for you guys.
