Brian and I taking a break from dancing! 

We went to home (LA) for my little sister Hillary's wedding. I went out the week before to help my mom and Hillary. We worked hard!  Hillary married James Reyes who has pretty much been her boyfriend FOREVER (I think they are going on 8 or 9 years) so he was already like family. We are excited to have another member in our family and My dad, Morgan, and Brian are all excited that there is another guy!  The wedding was beautiful, it was well worth our efforts.  We loved seeing friends and catching up. I don't have many pictures actually I don't have a single pic of Hillary and James on my camera opps!!! Once I get some I will post more. 

Summer FUN!!!

We went out on the lake the past 2 weekends with Rob and Kimberly. They are pretty much our favorite locals!!! They have a pontoon boat or as they call it a party boat! I thought it was going to be an old man fishing boat but I was so wrong!!! I got a full lake education. I now know about everything from speed boats and lake police to the red neck yacht club (all to boats tie on to each others boats and people go from boat to boat drinking and what not)! We didn't tie up... maybe next time! We rode  around the lake then we grilled, played in the water, tubed, and got some sun! I love love love (yep 3 love) doing anything with water so I have been loving playing on their boat!  Here are a few pictures.

Brian and Rebel playing lake biologists and exploring the creatures of the lake!!

Me and Kimberly!

Brian Tubing!

Me and my nephew dog Rebel (one cute and fluffy puppy)

Brian feeding ducks... they were eating out of his hands... I was too scared to try!

Sitting on the Boat having fun!

THE SCHOOL YARD SALE

Brian and I have been packing and moving for a while now, umm since March... In all of our cleaning out we had developed quite the junk pile (it took over the garage).  So it's no surprise that when the Bunker Hill Elementary School's annual PTA yard sale came around we were EXCITED! We had a ton of stuff to get rid off and were ready to go! Debbie and Dave (Brian's parents) came up to help us! Seeing how neither of us had any yard sale experience we had the bargain site... people jut couldn't believe our prices... and we couldn't believe anyone would pay ANYTHING for our old stuff. The people watching was also entertaining. We set up long side the "other Mrs. Williams" (one of my teacher friends) and together we sold, sold and sold. Our favorite part of the whole event was our view!!! 

This was the view...  this lady was set up across from us!  She was so funny every time we looked over she had less clothing on! 

Some teacher friends working hard! The one in the black shirt is a Mrs. Williams too!

Brian looking good!

Me & Miss Becca Grace being silly!

Dave and Debbie supervising! We always have a great time with them!

Secretary of Education at Bunker Hill

Yesterday I was able to sit on a panel of 6 teachers and 3 parents and talk to the Secretary of education Arne Duncan. Now this isn't the state secretary of Ed... it is the BIG GUY!!!!  It was great to voice my opinions, and we all know i have plenty of them,  on what is working and what is so not! I hope what we had to say will help Arne make some much needed changes!!!! He is on a tour of 15 states so he may be coming to your state next! 

BABY...... FINN HAWLEY

We have a new nephew!  My brother, Morgan and his wife Val had their baby. He is such a cutie  and look at all of his HAIR!  He was born May 4th! They named him Finn.  Brian and I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM!!! 

Air Show

Brian and I went to Langley Air Force base when we were down in Williamsburg a couple of weeks ago! Let me just say I'm a pretty GREAT wife because I had a fever and was way sick... but went on These adventures anyway.  Dave is retired from the air force... so he has lots of perks perks... and can get us on base. I think he was pretty important and ranked high but I am not and rank expert. All i know is that they salute him when they look at his military ID and that impresses me! Anyway, It was my first air show and I was amazed by how much power the thunder birds have. I kept asking questions trying to figure out how the air show demonstration was like TOP GUN only to find out Top Gun was about the Navy and not the air force. It was disappointing info but I got over it. Brian LOVED watching all of the planes and has already started planing our trip to next years show.

BETH!

Beth was in D.C. for a math conference and I drove to see her. We went on a night tour of the monuments... mostly I talked her ear off!!!  It was so fun to see a familiar face and catch up! I wish we could have spent a couple of days together! She is as cute as ever! I miss all of you pony girls!
