A week before school got out, Audra's class took a field trip to the Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside. Mom chaperoned. The mission was beautiful and she enjoyed sketching it with her classmates.

June 5th - My sister's birthday. Happy Birthday Cindy! Here is a photo of Cindy and me.

June 6th was Cindy's youngest son's birthday. Happy Birthday to my nephew Gabe! Isn't he cute.

June 12 was a HUGE day for our family. It was the last day of school for the year, for Tarisa (10th), Jared (6th) and Audra (4th). It was also High School Gradulation Day for Liana! She made it,earned her diploma, and is on her way to college in August. We are so proud!
