Dooms Day is finally here. These pictures were

The Big Move!

This picture was taken on Friday June 6th

at Dr. Robb's Formal Graduation Dinner at

University of Florida.

Tomorrow is the big move and they will be off to Utah.

Kristen is just so excited for them to be coming out there.

She's keeping Robyn, Kaiya and Hunter for few days while

Amanda and Robb look for a place to live.

We are going over to Bob and Carol's for a farewell

breakfast tomorrow morning.

This is so so sad and we will miss them terribly.

" Beauty School "

Robyn and Kaiya wanted aunt Marie

to cut their hair before they move. Kaiya had to

get her hair cut later because Marie got to busy at school .

They now both have shoulder length hair

and it looks really cute.

Ryan's 5th Grade Graduation

I can not believe my oldest grandchild

is old enough to graduate from elementary school.

Congratulations Ryan!

"Papa's Peanut"

Papa has a special name for Kaiya. He calls her Papa's little peanut .

Kaiya doesn't really like to be called this she always says

I am NOT A PEANUT I AM KAIYA !
One day as they were traveling down from Gainesville
to Inverness Ryan saw this peanut factory and said
said to Kaiya look that is where you were born Kaiya.
Of course she didn't like that either! But when Papa
went up to help move them he was able to convince
Kaiya to take a picture with him in front of the sign.
She must really love her papa to do this!

Oh and the funniest thing she will only let him call her that

if he promises to take her to the Dollar Tree!

" A Girl after my own Heart"

Jayde is slurping up an Icee . She is truly a girl
after my own heart! Icee's are my favorite
thing in the world especially in the summertime.

"Luau Party"

Iam posting some pics of what it looked like outside for Lauren's party. Notice the blue table that was Cliff's Tiki Bar. He set up a blender and made all kinds of fruit smoothies . We grilled up some yummy grouper that Mikey caught a few days prior . We also had some marinated chicken. We had two Jello cakes and a huge variety of fruit bowls & sweet and sour meatballs. Just tons of food! While Nicole and I were in the kitchen we looked out of the window and saw this huge flame it looked like the house was on fire but actually it was the grill. The drip pan had gotten so greasy that it caught on fire! So that was a bit of excitement for the evening. Things settled down a bit and people were eating and enjoying the evening when we had another event take place. Cliff had been going in and out of the house delivering his smoothie treats and it seems he picked up a hitchhiker he had a huge coach roach on his back. I ran over to try to swat at it only to find out it was a flying roach. It flew into the living room where all the guests were and then the screaming came (mostly women) some even ran for their lives! It landed up on our 12 ft ceiling . Nicole got a broom and tried to kill it only to have it fly a second time into the crowd this time it landed on my mother's chest where she started screaming and it nearly ended up in her mouth! Everyone was laughing or scared to death it was going to get them nexted. It finally landed on the floor where we could step on it. With the rain , the fire and the flying roach we all had quite a evening. I know Lauren will remember her graduation party forever! Lauren thanks everyone for coming and supporting her and a special thanks for all the nice gifts $.
