Happy Birthday Mom and Maria!!!

I've been blessed to have an amazing, loving mom! She is 75 years old and looks like she is in her 50s.  She and Maria share the same birthday week so we typically do their parties together.

"Girls Only" trip to Disneyland

One of our Christmas gifts to Providence and Selah was a trip to Disneyland. We spent the night at the Embassy Suites, ate at Rainforest Cafe, shopped at Savers and enjoyed a day at Disneyland going on rides. The crowd level was low and the weather was perfect.

Poiball and Hawaiian Dance

Providence and Macy showed their Hawaiian dancing talent at our homeschool co-op during the Sumbabatso meeting. They did a great hob!

Visiting CBU

We visited CBU to look into options for Dallas' future career. We saw a video presentation, toured the campus, met with an admissions counselor and had a meeting with the ROTC department. Dallas would like to major in either Aviation or Engineering. He could get all of his education paid for if he joins ROTC and commits to 4 years in the military. His first choice is to directly enlist in the military after graduation from high school. We are looking at all options. This is a bittersweet time as I feel time slipping away and the days of raising him coming to an end.

Thanksgiving 2017

It was a low-key Thanksgiving Day with the Norris bunch, Mr. Poore and Sabrina. The weather was warm, the food was delicious and the company of family was peaceful. One highlight this year was when my dad and I hid under my parent's house(where all Christmas decorations are) and attempted to scare the boys who were retrieving the decorations for my mom. It's a low space where we had to crawl and then wait for 15 minutes to surprise the boys. It was mildly successful but fun, none the less.
