Wowza...what a BUSY Summer!!

And I can't believe Summer Vacation is oooovveerr already!!
We've made our move from Kansas to Alabama and are currently living in an apartment while the house is being built.
We are making progress...





The school year ended in Kansas with Raven's eighth grade graduation and she was very sad to leave her friends behind as we made the move to Alabama, thanks to the internet she's been able to stay in touch with many of them though and is eagerly making plans to visit.



Luckily she can always count on her dad to go GANGSTA with her!




After arriving in Dothan, Raven met up with a long time friend and we all headed to the beach!



And that wasn't our only trip to the beach, we discovered ST. AUGUSTINE over the July 4th weekend and had a mini-family reunion with Rod, Tara, the super cute Katie and Mom Pasibe!














We had a great visit!



Our next stop was...you guessed it--Orlando, home of that magical mouse known as MICKY! We'd been promising the kids we'd take them for over a year...





Raven wasn't quite as excited about going to Disney as the younger two, though she ended up having a GREAT time!
One of the highlights of the trip for me was getting to meet up with my Florida WistaSista's!





It's hard to believe Disney was only a few short weeks ago and now Rodel has left for his training in Kansas until he deploys to Iraq and the kids are back to school!

Here are a few first week of school pics (in no particular order)!











Raven's first day of high school started out with a bang--with three arrests, a tassing and lots of media coverage.
Here's a grassroots report of what happened...click here!
We're hoping that the rest of the year is much smoother!
