June 19, 2011 - Father's Day!

Alissa, Bret, Kayla, Erica

Bret wanted to take this picture out by his new pecan trees so that we could see how much it grew each year......it should be pretty cool! Bret had to fly to Canada later this day so we are glad we were able to enjoy some time with him and snap a shot of everyone together!

I drove up to Dallas with my parents to attend Branden's graduation and party. We had a wonderful time and it was great to be there and visit with everyone. We had safe travels and my parents flew back to Michigan (and cooler weather) on Tuesday. It was great to have them here for all the celebrations. But I know they were excited to get home also.
Congratulations Branden!!
Love, Aunt Shelly

Well, the party is over and it was a blast. I hope it was for everyone else also. Such an awesome accomplishment to see your daughter graduate and get ready to move onto other paths! We are very proud of Alissa! Now we are excited to see where God will lead her next. She will begin classes at Lamar this fall.
Love you Alissa!
