Happy 1st Birthday, Tyson

It is still officially Tyson's 1st birthday even though he has been tucked into bed for the last two hours. It is hard work turning one. Meg and Ryan hosted a great party with kabobs and salads. Tyson was really taken with a couple of his presents as they made great noise. Look out! We just wanted to share a little clip of the patootie enjoying his cake. Happy birthday, Tyson. We love you.

Happy 22nd Birthday on the 26th Molly!

Molly-

We hope you have a great birthday! We are very proud of your accomplishments this year and look forward to pictures from Ireland and your stint as director of the South Dakota version of MCT! Have a happy birthday! Love, Mom and Dad

Happy 24th Birthday Jen!

Happy Birthday to the best legal intern in the Office of Navy General Counsel! We hope you have a fun day--we thought we would post this a little early so you could enjoy before Molly's birthday. We are very proud of you--have a great day! Love, Mom and Dad

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRI!

Happy Birthday to the amazing Briana Rye - mother, business owner and spectacular baby sister. For those who haven't heard, she was recently awarded space in the Portland airport to open another spa (slated for ribbon cutting in the late fall/early winter, I believe). Now that Sabina is running around like a rabbit and talking up a storm, I fully expect that she will be equipped with a hammer and a level and put to work on the buildout this summer. We love you very much, Breezy!

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the dads: John, Marc, Dinger, Tom, Jerry, Matt, Mark, Peter, Nate, and Ryan (the rookie). If you're not spending the day with your kids, hopefully you're relaxing just enjoying it.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday to a wonderful mom, wife, and grandma!! You don't look a day over.....well, I won't say your age...but you definitely don't look a day over it! :) I hope you have a great day in Plains!! Thinking of you on your special day!

Love you!!

Gramma Invades Billings

Mary and Jim came to Billings this weekend for Sam's baseball tournament. Gramma decided to jump in the car and visit the Magic City as well. We visited, played some cribbage, watched some baseball, and made a shopping and sightseeing trip to Red Lodge. Sunday night was baking night as Gramma, Jeanine, and Shannon joined forces to make a great rhubarb cake. It truly was tasty. The visit wrapped up Monday night with a barbeque at Miranda and Nate's house. It sure was great to see everyone and have Gramma spend a couple days with us.

Love y'all,

Tom and Jeanine

Happy Anniversary!!

Happy 34th Anniversary Mom and Dad!! I know you guys are not together today, but I do hope you have a great day! Love you both so much and thank you for being such an amazing example of love!

Love always,
Jen

Happy Birthday, Nate

There are still 20 mintues left of your birthday here in the Central Time Zone. I hope you had a great day back in the Magic City and that the new year of adventures is a great one. Happy Birthday, cuz!

Happy Birthday, Abe!

Ain't no jive -- Abe's thirty-five.
Wednesday's the curse -- could be worse.


I hope you'll all join in wishing Abe a momentous birthday. It's a milestone, to be sure. Don't really know how he'll be celebrating. Of course, he and Dez recently went to that county in Wisconsin to see The Doors. (Funny, I didn't know the surviving members were still playing.) Anyway, happy birthday, A-bomb! Hope you have a great one!

Last Pre-K class~

This is a picture of my last class of Pre-Kers. As some of you know, I am taking a new position at Holy Spirit next year and won't be teaching. It was a very tough decision but one I am feeling pretty good about right now. I guess we will see how long it lasts. I couldn't have asked for a better class of kids! They were awesome!

My new position is called development which is really P.R. I will be in charge of recruitment, retention and fundraising for our school. It will be very challenging for me since I tend to be a bit introverted, but I am looking forward to that challenge.

I am also looking forward to summer break!! So wish me luck in cleaning out my classroom and getting my office set up. It is a long, tough task, but I get a pretty good break afterward!
