This last week has been a roller coaster! We found out last week that a very dear friend passed away leaving his wife and 5 beautiful children. CP and his family are such dear friends and his wife Tiffany is probably one of the strongest women I know but, with that being said my heart just aches for her and her children and the pain and loss that they must feel. It was extremely hard news to grasp.Kev and I just keep saying to one another how we just can't believe he is really gone. Even Keaton and Bailey Rose are saddened by his passing, they loved CP too, he was always so good to them and boy could he make them laugh! Nobody went unnoticed with CP, he was always serving in one capacity or another. The funeral services were just beautiful and it was very evident that CP touched the lives of soooo many. He was the kind of person that left an impression and we will miss his friendship and his humor and his talents. He had such a beautiful singing voice. We feel so blessed to have known CP and we continue to pray for Tiffany and her family, that they will find peace and comfort as they continue on. We love you guys!!!

I had the opportunity to go to Atlanta, Georgia for a few days to attend a conference for work. The conference was really good and I learned a lot! I also enjoyed the change of scenery. It was so refreshing to see the lush green trees instead of the brown , dry desert. It was a lot harder to be away from my kiddos and my hubby then I thought it would be. I missed them like crazy! Kev took a few days off so that he could play "Mom" and make sure the kids got to school etc. He did a FANTASTIC job! I am grateful for his support so that I could go and have this experience. LOVE YOU BABE!!!

While I was in Atlanta, I had the opportunity to go to the Coca-Cola Museum. It was a lot of fun! Kev was jealous as he is the one who works for Coke. I realized that there is so much history and so many things to do in Atlanta. I would love to vacation there and have the time to see and do everything there. However, I think the kids might appreciate it when they are older. There are a lot of historical places and they have yet to learn about them in school. I did not enjoy the Taxi Cab experience though. They are crazy drivers and I felt like I was risking my life every time I got into one. I would be okay never to ride in a Taxi again for the rest of my life!

I took lots of pictures but will have to post them later after I sort through them!
Yes, it was a busy and roller coaster week and I am glad it has come to an end! The kids have 6 weeks of school left until summer break and then we are off to Disneyland for a much needed family vacation. Nicole and Dayna (Kev's girls) will meet us in California so that they can join us at Disneyland. We are all looking forward to this vacation and it will be good to spend sometime together as a family!
