Family Weekend..

We FINALLY decided last week that we would DEFINATELY be traveling to North Cali during Memorial weekend for niece Mariah's high school grad.  We are sooo bad at planning financially for events, trips and so forth that we thought for sure we couldn't do it.  Thank you to the man above who continues to bless our family.

We picked up our rental and off we went Thursday afternoon.  DaisyGirl was feeling sick the day before so I was a bit worried she'd have a miserable drive.  She was such a good sport and never complained or whined about anything.  I guess being occupied watching movies helped too..  I will never travel again with out a portable DVD player.  It really does make the drive alot more smooth when they are too occupied to argue or complain..

We had a good time spending it with my DH's family as well as my family.  Didn't think we'd get out to Oakland to be with my family.  My parents where out there with my sis Rissa's family visiting my other siblings.  So it all worked out.  BTW, my parents just love North Cali.  Even wanted to stay behind and forget Utah..hahaha  I won't be surprised if my parents decide to ditch us here and make a new home in Cali. 

Congrats to Ms Mariah graduating from Tracy High School.  I miss going to Cali grads in the football field.  Where you can blow your horns and throw your confetti and not get escorted out by security.  haha.  She had a huge graduating class.  Thank goodness the weather was cool.  Family and friends enjoyed a very nice grad party that evening a the Winery in Tracy.  With good food and good entertainment.  Danced the night away and enjoyed ourselves. 

More Family Graduates...

I originally thought to just blog about events and dates of importance directly with my immediate family of four. But realize that there will be others events of other peeps outside my family of four that we want to remember.. Yep there is. So with that being said...

Congrats to my nephew (sister #2 RPT's son) MCT who promoted from Monroe Elementary earlier this month. He is the oldest Grandchild on my side. So this was a special one for my side of the family. MCT received a Principal Achievement Award that day. She described him as an outstanding student he brightens up any room with his smile...True dat. Love ya nephew..Pictured here with his mama..

Also earlier this month another oldest Grandchild graduated. On my husbands side this time. UTJ is my husbands sister FMF's oldest daughter. She graduated with honors from Cyprus High School home of the Pirates...RRRRR LOL. UTJ is a beautiful bright young lady. And is a great example to all her sisters and lil cuzzins. We are sooo proud of her and know she will do well. Congrats girl....We love you!!!

Also graduating this year is my first cousin NM from good ol' Granger High. I'm soo proud of this girl. She is a hard worker and such a great babysitter..hehe. My kids and nephew and nieces just adore this girl. We're proud of you girl and wish you nothing but the best as you take a step into the next chapter of your life. You Rock!!!
