Celebrations!

     We have had some great celebrations worth sharing over the summer, so I thought that I would blog about them.  It's so nice to be surrounded by family and friends!! :0) 

     In this picture, Rach and I are clowning around at the rodeo since that was the official theme of the rodeo (hence the clown nose)!!

 My inner cowgirl :0)  Debbie didn't don her cowgirl hat though! ):

 Girls' night out...dinner at Oliva's and then off to see Magic Mike!!

 Just think...three generations worth of Kawuloks!! 

 What a good sport my mom was! :)

     This really wasn't a celebration, but it is how I spent my birthday (in the hospital with my hubby) while a co-worker also spent the same night there with her husband!! Too odd!!

Out to brunch with the kids

A gathering of co-workers to wish Holty well as he transfers to the high school ):

A very dear friend, Barb, retired after years of teaching high school English, so Shari, Deb, and I hosted a nice reception for her at Russell's on the Lake.

A gathering to begin the summer :)

Dallas's graduation party

     The highlight of the summer was Mom O. being able to attend Chelsea's graduation party for a couple of hours.  It was so great that we found transportation and enough oxygen for her.  She was able to spend some quality time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

We are so very blessed!!
