The past month my life has been a whirl wind so I've gotten a little behind....

I've taken a few pictures though and through them you can see it's been a pretty wonderful month!
Having Camille's family here has been a little bit of heaven for me.

Then to have KC back home... well words can't describe.

The girls bought me a Hydrangea plant for the new rock garden. Beautiful! We went and had Keelee do our hair one day.

Sure do love that girl. She has been through a lot in her young life and always keeps an amazingly happy and positive attitude.

Checking out the latest scoop We went over to Grampas one day and helped clean a little.

I got to do the china cabinet...I love to look at all of grandmas pretty dishes.







Olivia was in heaven playing with all of the cute little statues and do dads on the shelves.

We went to the mall one day but realized when we got there that we had forgotten the stroller....sooooooo we improvised. Worked out pretty awesome except for the funny looks we got pushing the shopping cart through the mall.

We went up fishing one day and had a lot of fun.

Sam and Olivia did NOT like the life jackets

New shoes...hard to find ones that fit his fat little feet!

Rick came over and replaced our old lights in the front steps. He's always doing nice things like that. We're so lucky to have such great friends. He is the best!
Everyone was great in helping us get ready for KC's homecoming party...friends and family offering to help with food and tables and chairs and getting yard ready.

We decided to have a get together Saturday night instead of Sunday after church because we were getting ready to head to California Sunday night.

It was such a fun night...I was once again overwhelmed by the love and support we received from friends, neighbors and family.
KC playing head down with Candice ...that's her under there...not Camille with a really long body. We all got pedicures up at Song's. Olivia makes friends where ever she goes!

Getting a massage..."feels bumpy grandma!"Kelley was a peach to watch the kids any time at all. Pretty sure he loved it...this is what we would come home to...

This is Sam's new favorite face. That little boy is such a joy! He is just happy all the time!
The time flew by with Camille's family here. Kellen had been working hard on getting a job but without much luck. Jobs are hard to come by right now.

When it seemed like nothing was working out, he decided to fly here and work for Dan while he kept looking for a job. He had only been here for a few days when he got a call from a place where he had applied in Arizona, asking him to come in for an interview. He knew he couldn't pass up an opportunity, Sooo he flew back home, only to be called an hour before his appointment telling him the position had been filled.

We were all way bummed about that! It's pretty tough to watch these kids struggle to get their lives started after they have worked so hard and put so much into it. I don't think they ever dreamed it would be so hard to find a job.

A few days later, a company called him and asked him to come in for an interview. It's not a law firm, but a big business that does software for huge companies....( I think that's right)

Anyway, after several interviews and excruciating waiting, they called and said he had the job!

Wow, it was like a 10,000 pound weight had been lifted off their shoulders!

We were all so happy for them....happy-sad, because the job is in Scottsdale.

I guess I will just have to get used to the idea that they are going to be in Arizona for a while.

I will be happy for them to be able to settle their lives and start living a normal life. That has been something they have not been able to have yet in their 6 years of marriage.

The first thing Olivia said when Camille told her that her daddy got a job was "Oh now I can have a house and we can get a dog!!!" She has wanted that for quite some time now.

I sure admire how Camille has been able to keep a great attitude through all of this. She is always able to make the best of whatever situation she is in though and be happy.
