Last Day at Brimhall Jr. High

JaKelle was our last one to finish up at Brimhall Jr. High, there were no tears shed over this one. She is very ready to leave it behind and move on to Mesa High. Kell has a lot of great friends, some she has met through being on Cheer this year, and some new she has met through her classes. Not all will be going to Mesa, some are attending different high schools so she had to get a lot of pictures. I am very proud of all her accomplishment this last year at Brimhall, she is growing up way to fast but it will be fun to see her Cheer and Dance as a Mesa High Jackrabbit. Good Luck Kell with your new adventures in High School.

San Diego Trip

This past weekend I went to San Diego with Lynn for his BKR Retreat. We stayed at the Torrey Pines Golf Resort, one of the famous golf courses where Tiger won the US Open in 2008. The first couple of days were cold and very windy, we toured parts of La Jolla and ate lunch at the Cheese Shop recommended by some friends, walking along the beach was cold and windy so we left. One of my favorite things we did was go to Miramar and eat dinner on the Base. We got to tour the Mig Jet's which was neat seeing them fly over head and also seeing the famous bar where Top Gun was filmed and he sang "You've Got that Lovin Feelin." They did hire a Tom Cruise impersonator and he did a really good job. I have such great respect for these young men and women serving many hours for our Country so we can have our freedom. Our guide was a Captain who's wife is also in the service and just got deployed to Afghanistan, my prayers and thoughts are withe all these families serving over there and ones left behind.

I loved the Lodge we stayed at, they always had a fire going and the whole place smelled like a burning fire, I will post some pictures of some of my favorite things inside the Lodge. The weekend was very relaxing and I finally did get to enjoy some sun on Tuesday.

Down East Basics

They just opened a Down East Basics store in Dana Park, I'm really liking the cute things they have, Kell and I were there recently and these were some of our cute purchases. Their prices are really reasonable and they even have really cute jeans.
