SENIOR AGAIN...

Can you believe this boy is a senior again!?  Yep, that's right.  Michael will graduate from the University of Arkansas in May 2013 with a double major:  electrical engineering and physics.  WHERE did the time go?  I simply can not believe this.  The  college years have had many ups and downs... and it has been a journey to say the least.  I've had to learn and grow myself as a momma.  But, I could not be more proud of this boy!!! Way to go Michael.

Sweet Summertime...

Where is the world is the summer going??  We spend every spare moment that we can on the lake.  Michael is working in Fayetteville and comes home every other weekend; sometimes every two weekends.  Jacob is working five days a week at the boat dock, and has nightly activities.  Roger is busy with his job.  Me?  Well I'm just taking care of Jacob and getting him from point A to B. Loving my summer break! This is what we love to do the most...spend time on the lake....

Summertime Baseball...

We are out of school.  But have NOT slowed down any.  Summer baseball is going on.  If we aren't playing a game, we are practicing.  Jacob started to work at the boat dock as well - and I am his taxi cab ride.  It's nice to have a little break from school.

Grand Canyon

Well I don't know what is wrong with my blog site.  My pictures are not wanting to load.  I've tried the last two nights to load.  I had like 20 other pictures that wouldn't load.  So here are just a few shots of the Grand Canyon.  It was absolutely beautiful.

Las Vegas (cont'd)

We went to Hoover Dam while we were in Las Vegas.  It was AMAZING!

This is the name of the motel that we stayed at Aria.  It was very nice.

 Gotta LOVE the Las Vegas sign! 

On Thursday, Jacob and I went to California!  They have day excursions that you pay for.  So I thought it would be neat for Jacob to get to go to Hollywood. It was a 5 hour trip there, and 5 hours back!  We left at 6:00 am and returned at 11:00 pm. Very long day. 

Our first stop was Santa Monica Pier.  I got to go here with Michael when he and I went to California.

Snow on the mountains on the way to CA.

 Picture of downtown Las Vegas.  Don't know why it loaded in with my California pictures.

Jacob on the Santa Monica Pier.

The beach.

We stopped in Beverly Hills.

Went on a tour of the stars homes.  This is Michael Jackson's car/garage.

Michael Jackson's house.

I don't know why the pictures didn't appear the way I loaded them. They are out of order.  Oh well....
We also went to the Grand Canyon--I'll post pictures of those later.

Spring break...

Where did we go on spring break???
It was AWESOME!!!! I've always wanted to go. Roger actually had a conference out there that fell during spring break. So Jacob and I tagged along. Michael did his own spring break (Destin, FL). First time for us to all be apart. That was tough. But we did so much in Las Vegas--- more posts/pictures to come....
