Cassia moves to Washington!

 

Cassie got word that Tyrell is coming home from Iraq sooner than expected.  She decided she wanted to have everything move backed to Washington  before he came home.  She has been living in our home for the past year.

As you can see, He really does pretty good most of the time and I’m jealous and hope to get mine soon!

Montelucia, Scottsdale Arizona

  Montelucia 001

For Mother’s Day Karl surprised me with a trip to Arizona. He was going on a business trip to a fancy resort called the Montelucia. It is just a couple of days but a fun get away. Thank you to Cass for watching Tay.

Here are some pictures of the resort. It is beautiful, with a Spanish flare!
