Our Graduate 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How did our little girl go from this to this so quickly?!

 waiting in line to receive diploma

Marc, JessicaRose, Me  ~ Graduation day!

We are so proud of you JessicaRose!!!  Our first born our first everything.

I know it's been hard at times but you made it through and you did it with a BANG!

Remember this quote from one of your favorites......

"If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart.. I’ll always be with you.

Gone but Not Forgotten

In Remembrance for all those who served and made the ultimate sacrifice

for each and everyone of us.



Prom

This is my oldest daughter JessicaRose. I took this while she was getting ready for Prom. Her prom was in April and I am just getting the pics now. I am so bad!  She looked stunning and so grown up. It's hard to believe that she will be graduating in just a few weeks. I look at her and see my little girl but I know she is a young lady now and with that come new challenges ahead as her life is just beginning. I wish her so much fun on this journey we call LIFE. If I could only protect her from the hard world and keep her safe wouldn't that be a mother's dream?! 

Happy Mother's Day

All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.
