Whewie, it's Over.....

Danielle is ready to go the Highschool bowl

for her graduation ceremony.

Her dress was so cute, it fits her personality perfectly.

Where does the time go? One day they're playing with Barbies, then they want to be Barbie. Danielle is a great girl, we couldn't ask for more from her. She's bright, kind, honest, loyal.... all these attributes and more.

Danielle is holding her "fake" flowers. I thought they would be too wilted from the heat, so I didn't bring them to the ceremony. I looked around during the ceremony and saw all the parents with the flowers ready to present to the grads, and felt the guilt of a mother.... does that guilt EVER end?!?!


"Uncle" Craig said he wouldn't miss her graduation for the world....

Danielle's Grad Party!!!

The night was filled with the good times, food and cheer.

It was so great to gather together and cherish the memories.

These folks that came to our daughters graduation are

truly special to us and we love them all.

Highschool Graduate

I put together this slideshow for Danielle's graduation. It was fun, distracting and emotional to revisit all the fun she has brought to our lives. She's both beautiful inside and out. We're so proud of her for so many things and accomplishments, but mostly because she is sure of herself and her faith.
I wish I could share the letter of recommendation her History teacher wrote for her college application. It's so wonderful to have someone see the truth in your child and to see her for the great person she is. I will miss her when she's out of the house.... not the mess in her room, but I will miss her ;)
Enjoy the slideshow.... I tried not to make it too long, but it's very difficult to leave out photos.

Who turned up the heat?!?!

Geez, I miss the spring weather. It just got hot today. Had to put on the AC and plan out my errands and park in the shade.
It's crazy how everyone makes a mad dash for the nearest OSH or Lowe's to get some pretty flowers, or to get those parts to fix the sprinklers. At least that's what we had to do.
Next weekend, I'll have be having company for Danielle's graduation party, so gotta get the lawn furniture cleaned up and maybe a new plant here and there.
I hunted around today for ideas for the decorations. I think I can make stuff.... it's easy when it's just a square for the grad hats ! I'll through them on a string and call it a streamer :) Save the money for the important things like food and wine and gifts.
Danielle's Senior prom is tonight. I'll post pictures later.
She looked so cute, I was surprised with the little Cinderella dress she chose. I love her in turquoise.

Spring is Here!

We finally, finally..... got our shop built. What a fiasco that was. First we hired a builder, who we thought was a legitimate builder, but could never quite get a straight answer or deadline for delivery of the initial building. Only to find out that he was a scam artist..... really? really! Like we don't have enough to deal with.... We had our cement foundation poured and needed to get something on this slab so we could get out of our current building. We ultimately hired a great local company to put up the building in a short 2-3 week notice. and we couldn't be more pleased. It needs some landscaping and awnings, but that'll come later.
Danny Kyle have been working on new products. Got a couple new dealers, including "CRF's Only" and added Honda's CRF 250R to our product line.

I finished up the tax year and we had out office party Friday night. It was lots of fun, and we exchanged gifts, and plan to meet each other over the summer to keep in touch. We have a great team and I'm blessed to have this job. I will be doing Payroll and bookkeeping through the off season, along with the Mohard Racing website and Customer service. So, I feel like my plate is full, just like I want it.

This is our secretaries daughter sitting with our back office manager's mother on their very cute outdoor couch....

Our daughter, Danielle, graduates this year. She's been doing very well and now has a 4.o GPA, so we're very proud of her. She has great instincts and good morals. We're looking at Fresno Pacific, so we hope to get her accepted there.

New Year's Eve Party

A small gathering of our closests friends, was a perfect way to celebrate New Year's Eve.

It was good to get together and play an old favorite "BOP-IT". We laughed allot. We use to play Bop-It out in the desert on our riding trips and Roger picked up a newer version that had "yelling" in the sequence..... hysterical. Colette let out a little "whoop" that made it sound like she was "goosed".... too fun! And the ever perfectionist, Len, couldn't stand to lose to that little plastic toy."" Come On Len, don't let that thing beat you!!!!"

Len, frustrated by the Bop-It

Here's some of the pictures from our night..... To be safe, we stayed the night and enjoyed the morning watching the parade together.

What a great way to start 2010!

Here's Wishing you all a Happy New and Better Year

Growing Family

My Family is still growing. I have 4 siblings: 3 brothers and one sister. My mother has, as of the last count: 29 Grandkids and 29 Great Grandkids and 2 more on the way.

We try to get as many of us together each year for Christmas, but they're are quite a few missing this time. This year we used the church social hall to fit us all in.
