We recently had Ashley and Nate here for a visit, so we had some family pictures taken. I am so happy with them. They had a weeks break between semesters. They are doing the trimester fast track. Ashley hates it. They both are taking Chemistry and are convinced the teacher thinks it's the only class on their schedule, they hate it too. I think they will both be so happy when this is behind them. They are planning to move back here for their Masters degree. She's not too fond of the cold weather in Idaho either.
We were able to enjoy Easter together and to celebrate Bryon's birthday, albeit a week early. We had a great time together as a family and these are the times that I will cling to as the kids get older and do their own things.
Justin has some big changes coming up in the next couple of weeks. He's buying his first house. It's not far from us, maybe 7 miles. I'm sure he'll be home often to eat and raid our pantry. I'll miss him being here on a daily basis but I know he is soooo excited to be taking this huge leap. He's done it all on his own too. I am very proud of him.
Kelsey will be graduating from Ironwood on May 21st. She'll turn 18 on June 14th. I can't believe my baby will be grown up, at least legally. She still does some really goofy things at times. Kels will be staying home for the next two years and going to GCC. The house won't be completely empty. She is a social creature though and is gone a lot. She is hoping to be able to be one the dance team there. As you can tell by her senior pictures, she's incredibly limber and talented. Oh ya, she just got her first job hostessing at Abuelo's. She's so excited to make her own money. Maybe now she'll appreciate all the money we give her!!!!
