Summer Trips
January through June
We went on a day trip during spring break to Carlsbad Caverns with Mom, aka, grand-mére. In May we attended a few events on base (Fort Bliss) one called, Truck Town, and the Armed Forces Day Parade. In June the kids went through end of the year graduation, Ella graduated from Kindergarten, Noah celebrated his last year of Elementary, and Liam graduated from middle school!
We celebrated Ella's sixth birthday with a trip to the zoo in June.
Later in June I flew out to Poland to visit with Jared for a week. We had so much fun seeing the sights and traveling around a bit. See those photos above, click on the "Poland" button.

In August the kids started school. Ella 1st grade, Noah 6th grade, and Liam 9th grade.
In October we welcomed Jared home. He got to have a whole month on Leave and was able to spend lots of time with us before he returned to work in November.
I took an impromptu trip to Oregon In October and got some pretty pictures of the scenery.Â
In November Jared took Ella to the Father Daughter Dance at her school and Liam marched with his JROTC in the downtown El Paso Veterans Day Parade.
