New mac

Well, with my tax return and some extra money from the basketball camp, I was able to buy a new Mac computer! It has a very fun function called the Photo booth! Kendra, Jed, and I had such a fun time playing with it! As you can see, it distorts your picture! We are also having a fun time here in Thailand with this feature! Check out the pics on fliker for some more crazy pics like this! :) Oh so many laughs!!!

Family Reunion

Samuel is the cutest EVER!! I love him! We had so much fun with him!


We all came together because my brother, Nathan, graduated with his PhD. in Chemistry! Now that is CRAZY!!! He is super smart and he has a wonderful family! I have to say that my nephew is the cutest nephew EVER!! We were all there to support him and congratulate him! He is so smart but he is not a nerd! :)


Nathan, Melissa, and Samuel live in Chicago! It is a wonderful city and one I will miss since they are moving so Nathan can do his Post Doc at Washington State. Well, I will just have to fall in love with Seattle for a few years! :)


This had to be one of the happiest times in my life! I got to be with my family for 4 days! We have not been together in 3 1/2 years. The last time was my sisters wedding and that was a crazy time, fun but crazy!! This was so special! We also got to celebrate my brother-in-law's, Josh, birthday! It was the first time we have ever celebrated with our family so that was great! When family lives all over the world it is extremely special to all be together!! We took this family picture! I am so proud to be in my family! Each of my family members loves the Lord Jesus Christ and is seeking His will for their lives! Praise the Lord! Thanks mom and dad for all the prayers you had for us over the years! They have been answered! :) I love all of you so much!!

Babysitting Kendra and Jed

These kids are two of my favorite people in the world! I love them so much! They are very special to me! After fiesta and the Jordan Camp, their mom and dad went to Ireland and I got to watch the kids for the week! We had a great time together! We went to the zoo and we fed the giraffe and we went swimming and we did many fun things together! It was a very special time especially now that we are so far away from one another! I will always hold that time dear to my heart! I love you, Kendra and Jed!!

Fiesta

At the fair with the kids! This should be the Christmas Card Pic! They are so cute!!

Nancy...one of my soul sisters!!

Fiesta is always fun with the Daytons! They are my family! I love them and I miss them whenever I am not with them! Our souls are connected! We went to the usual party at the Zoo and we had a blast! Eating, dancing and dressing up! We had a great time! Viva La Fiesta!!

Jordan Camp

This year I got to do the Michael Jordan basketball camp again! It was so great! I really love doing it! This year I got to work the snack shop. It was such a great time with my friend Angel! She came to visit me last year in Thailand and our friendship has just increased over the years! She is very special to me! We were together for 10 days and I do not have one picture of the two of us...CRAZY! Especially since I am the picture queen! We had such a great time together! Our daily Hot Dog Talks were awesome! :) Thanks for the special time this year, Angel! I love you!!

Los Al Summer Basketball

I got to go to San Diego with the girls or one night! It was great to see them play! I love them and I miss them so much while I am away! It was so special to see them play and do well! I love the game but being with these girls makes it even better! The new varsity player orientation was the first night and the older girls dressed them up as Harry Potter characters! We went to dinner at Islands, as usual, and then we went to see Harry Potter IMAX! It was awesome! The last scene, which is the best scene in the movie was 3-D and it was super cool! I love these girls and I wish them the best of luck this year! Wish I could be there in person to support them but I will support them from Thailand FOR SURE!!

Hume Lake

I was able to go to Hume Lake with Marci twice this summer! It was GREAT! Mr. and Mrs. Drake have taken me in as a second daughter! I love being there with them! It was a beautiful summer there! We had a great time together! The first time was quiet and we got to spend a lot of time with the parents, which is always a treat! The second time we went up for Marci's birthday and her family was there! We had a great time with them! They are so great! I love her cousins! We had some good talks and it was just a special weekend! Yeah Marci!!

Grams 29th Birthday!!

At the Beach House in Laguna Beach

This is Grams best friend, Marge! They are in the Red Hat Club together and they also take balance class together! They hang out a lot and have lunch! I too have grown to love Marge over the years!

So, Grams turned 29 again! She is very special to me and I love her very much! I am so glad that I was able to spend the day with her. We went to The Beach House in Laguna Beach for lunch! Then we came back to A. Mary's house and celebrated with the family! We had a GREAT time! :)
