Cass & Carson.


Cassidy giving Carson lots of love before we depart!

Allie & Tylr


This is Allie & Tylr. Tylr was our neighbor next door. He was suppose to be born after Allie & he came two months before Allie!!! They had so much fun playing together~especially when they would jump on the trampoline together! Oh, & don't forget going thru the sprinklers & Allie would always strip down :>)

Chris & Aaron II.


My cousin Chris & his girlfriend Jackie came down to wish us well. Chris & Aaron II.

Another goodbye.


Miss. Cassidy & best buddies Allie :)

Saying goodbye.


Bestest cousins~Lovie & Allie giving each other hugs on moving day.

Going away party with Sutton Family.


While celebrating Alexandria's 3rd birthday~Aunt Linda & Aunt Cathy also hosted a wonderful going away party for us too. We will never forget this day~It was "record breaking" the hottest day in California history (I think!!!) We had a great time visiting with all of our family. However, this is the only other picture I have. You know~I'm finding myself say that quite often & I think it is all Allie's fault~I have to do too much chasing after her!!!!!! (See Renee~now you can't give me a hard time!!!) Cousins~Chris, Aaron & Sammy.

Allie opening her presents.



Allie was so excited to open her presents~Uncle Mike in the back...Allie & more "Dora" clothing!

And another going away gathering at Jim & Karen Bynum's. They hosted a very nice party for us as well. It was mostly from the Trinity Christian School family...all our buddies since Aaron was in Kinder... :) Although the boys have adjusted well at their new schools~it so is not the same as TCS~we miss all of our long time buddies :)

Carson Scott Sutton


Just a misc. picture of Carson at 8 months old :)

Alex & Cyndi's going away party.


Not only did our family have this big adventure upon us...so did my best friend Cyndi and her family. They moved to Charlotte, North Carolina. So far they are loving every minute over there. Can't wait to visit them too :)

July 2006



Okay~I'm going backwards a bit & then will try to catch up to July 2007. Last Fourth we went to see the Monster Truck Show & fireworks with the Reye's family. We all had fun hanging out with our buddies. The big boys loved it~however Renee & I were stuck under the concession stands with Carson covering his poor little ears...& talk about running for our lives for him~as he was so upset with those noisy trucks!!! (& I that's why I don't have any truck pictures~did the boys take any???)
Starting from #8 (left to right) Aaron II, Phillip, Alexandria Reyes & Sammy. (& sorry about the guy to the way left with that terrible shirt on...he was not with us...)

July 2006

Party at Reye's Family.




Some or of our bestest buddies the Reye's Family had a party for us too! We had all had a great time & food! Not to mention always fun & exciting times with Phil, Renee, Alexandria & Phillip...We miss you guys soooo much! (and these are the only pictures I have of this party...????)

Still at Marty & Fran's.




Here is the only picture I have of Marty preparing dinner. My mom & Carson & all the kids having tons of fun.

Marty & Fran's.




Marty & Fran threw us a going away gathering. We had an amazing spread. You name it & Marty had it there...we sure miss living across the street from our "meat man!!"

A hot day in California.


Aaron & Sam helping Uncle Marty across the street do some gardening/clean-up work. Sammy misses opening his window & screaming across the street to "Uncle Marty!!" ...and of course getting his ice cream minutes later!!! xxoo

Saying Goodbye.



This is Aaron & Cole; Cole & Sam...Aaron's bestest buddy. They have grown up together since they were two. Even though we are so far away~they'll be buds forever & of course when Aaron turns 18~he's heading back Cole's way!!! (...thats his plan now!!!)

Belle


Belle getting bigger~although Maggie was older, she still let Belle snuggle up to her like she was the mommy. Belle was sooooo lost without her. :(

Our Maggie Mae.



In Loving Memory~Maggers Mae Smith~Sutton...Our dear friends Scott & Lucie gave us Maggie Mae when they could no longer keep her~she was by far the very best dog we have ever had. This year she turned 13 & unfortunately this past June~we lost Magger's. It was a very sad time for the Sutton household :(

Corn time!




Carson loves eating his corn on the cob!!! His Uncle "J" is the one who got him started on this stuff~(California style!!!) Oh, & Nene when she would roast them on the grill :)

Allie posing!




Alexandria trying out her new winter coat from Nana Fran. (Our neighbors from California.) Nana Fran & Uncle Marty were always spoiling these kids~we miss them terribly!!

Allie & Spot




This is Bella's brother "Spot." ...Hoping Allie doesn't kill the poor guy!! He went to live on a farm here in Missouri. Very spoiled big boy now...

Our new puppy.




One afternoon I looked out back & saw that our neighbor's dog was in our back yard visiting Diesel~sure enough a few months later he became a daddy of five adorable puppies. ...and so here is a picture of Belle/Bella~she is super sweet, but very "hyper!" Reminds me of the "Cocker's," that Uncle Sam & Aunt Jan used to have!

Christmas morning~opening gifts.






The kids had so much fun opening all of their gifts from family & friends... and of course from Santa too!!
