Graduation

Krista graduated on May 27, 2009 from Doherty High School. It was your standard, one each, graduation ceremony except Krista did get to sing in a group (without practice even!)As you can see in the first thumbs up picture, Krista is wearing a white dress, but she pulled a great schnike and surprised me by wearing her famous Doherty dress. Number 5 in her class academically but number ONE in her class for cool schnikes. The best part of graduation was getting to go to Golden Corral for dinner.

For those of you who don't know, Golden Corral is the proud sponsor of a 500 mile NASCAR race. Well, Dad had thought he heard that and so as he was leaning over a stack of 500 glasses to check out the beverage options he became the first entrant (and winner) of the Golden Corral "Glasscar" race. As the first stack started to fall and Dad thought, "shoot, mise well go fer broke" and he hugged all of those cups, the domino theory became a reality. The poor worker girl said she almost peed her pants and I think Krista, Saraho and Summer did, plus they forgot to breathe they were laughing so hard. It weren't the "Pissed in Cup" but you couldn't beat it fer excitement drawing the attention of everyone in the place.

First Night

After many trips of a van full of stuff and much help from Grandpa and Grandma, and Charina and Jimmy, we spent our first night in our new house! It was great. We spent most of our time trying to remember where we put things and which light switch works which light. We picked up Dad at COS after his 24 hours of travel returning from Germany and lived in the new house as a complete (all be it, miniature, version of the Roy fam. Here's a few pics of the house.

The pics were before we moved in and we have completed some "modifications" and other things already. If you want to know what they are, then I guess you'll just have to come see for yourself. Anytime!!!! Our new address is 5435 Widgeon Point, Colorado Springs, CO 80918 and our phone number is the same.

Mr TV

When Dad is out of the country he seems to attract the media (It's cause he's so cute!) He was asked to be the "color commentator" for the TV coverage of the World Cup in Germany. And Charina thought being at the Olympics was rather boring...if you have a spare couple of minutes you can watch the highlights or if you're totally bored watch the whole show! You can find Dad at http://www.issf-sports.org/ , then on the top gray bar go to ISSF TV, then on the right select the Women's Trap final and either highlights or entire show. Way to go BillRoy, nice to hear your voice! We miss ya!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers, grandma's, aunts, etc, etc both current and future generations! Isn't it nice that best-cook-in-the-world Day, best-seamstress Day, best-chauffeur Day, best-crossword-doer Day, best-organizer day, best-house-buyer Day, best-supporter Day, best-humor-joker-laugher Day, best-sensible-thought-processer Day and Mother's day could all be celebrated on the same day!!? What wonder!

Thanks, Mom, you're the best and we sure love you with all our souls!
As an update for the rest of the world, here's a glimpse of life happenings our wonderful Mom has helped us to have as of late:

Summer brought her friends to last month's dance, and she also painted our bathroom in the new house! It is adorable with pink and green walls, but we didn't have a picture. She also trains her face off, and the track team continues to worship her.

For Krista, Moab!

What could be better?

How bout a trip for this guru?

And yes, we're still moving! Life is about as crazy as you could ask it, we're just glad we've got the best mom to help us all stay grounded! Thanks, again, Mom, and Happy Mother's Day!

sisterly love!

(we could just say the definition of misery)

It was a rough week, because its hard to have one without the other:

When you could have this:
