3 weeks of Crazy!

The last three weeks have been so crazy, non stop. I feel like there has been something going on almost everyday. But it has all been great stuff, Started with Payton's Graduation from pre-school, yes my youngest is now going to start kindergarten. I just don't believe it. Last fall I was not ready but I am now he is so board with me and is ready to start school. He knows the school well as we were there way to much last year helping and getting in the way!
After Payton's graduation it was off to Mark's graduation. Payton and I got up and took the other kids to school and off we drove to Mom's house. Just in time to have lunch with grandma! Do a little shopping and home to get ready for graduation. An I have to say graduations are not my favorite, I go to show my support and love.

This one wasn't to bad because I got to play with my nephew during most of the ceremony.

Congratulations Mark!

Then we had all the end of school stuff. And finally we were done with school. Last day was on Wednesday , and our family reunion started Thursday. On Thursday we went to Discovery Kingdom with a whole lot of family. Danny wasn't able to come with us he still had to work, but though we missed him I don't think he missed us way to many people in our group for him. The kids had so much fun, this park is one of there favorite places it has animals my Tommy's favorite.

After Discovery Kingdom we went back to our house with Mark and Tyler. And Ryan, Jen, Cory and Amber all came later that night what a packed house. I loved it! The next day Todd's family came to my house and we all were having fun and waiting to get into the lake for camping.

Then it was time for the first annual Turner family reunion. We had a good size group and my family had a great time. I think my favorite part was how well my kids got along with there cousins and second cousins.

They had a chance to get to know more extended family. You realize how blessed you truly are when you see how much family you truly have.

( I have to say the boat was great too, it had been years. And all my kids got to experience it for the first time, Thanks Lynn and Jerm!)

Thank you everyone who made the reunion such a great success!

Then we ended thing with a hike in Yosemite with Dean and his family. Now that was an adventure we went to the Hetch Hetchy, I had only done it once before and I remember it not being that long. Now it could be my memory or the fact that we took six kids with us, but we were there all day. I don't know how much Dean enjoyed it but I had fun and look at a couple of the great pictures I got.

We loved having Dean and Elika and the kids stay here and we missed them when they left. It was a great way to end 3 weeks of CRAZY!

:(Just as a side note I hate Dial-up this took hours because of all the pictures :(
