What do you do when it is 120 degrees outside?!? Well you have fun inside! 

Alex is a high school GRAD!

Today my youngest brother Alex graduated from High School with high honors! This kid is such a hard worker and such an amazing young men. I am so proud of him and am so blessed to have him as a sibling and amazing uncle to my children,

Way to Go Alex! We are all so proud of you! 

A Beautiful Garden for Me

One of the reasons I absolutely love this compound is because it is so green (for Saudi that is); full of trees, bushes, and flowers. The gardeners do a very good job landscaping, and keeping the plants nice and green.

One of the gardeners Cowza (not sure if that is how you spell is name) told me that he would like to landscape the area in front of our villa.  He created the cutest little garden, with sunflowers, aloe plants, and a vine archway over a cute little path. 

I loved it! And so did everybody else on the compound!

Kiki liked to help Cowza watering the garden and planting flowers.

My friend Abby

In addition to the Collins family, we have been so lucky to have our other good friends James and Stacy here in Saudi with us. Stacy and I have been friends for close to 3 years, and Jon and James have been friends/ co-workers since we moved to Texas. Kiki and little Abby (Stacy and James' daughter) are the best of friends. It is so cute to watch them play. They always have to give each other at least 2 hugs every time they say goodbye.

Time to Play Ball

We are so lucky to have been neighbors with the Collins Family these past few month while living here in KSA. We knew the Collins when we lived in Texas, in fact we lived less than 2 minutes away from them. Nicole and I were really good friends, as well as Jon and Bruce, and Josh and Logan were/are two peas in a pod, so having them so close to us while living here has been a great blessing.

Tonight Bruce and Jon gathered up all of the kids for a game of baseball. They had a lot of fun!

Cookies with Mommy

Today Kiki and I made cookies! I love spending time with this girl. She is such a cutie!

Frosting Time!

After all this hard work, it is only fair to try a few.

Even Eden got to eat one!
