David Graduation June 2009

He did it. ANd with that graduation - he did it with
style - not knowing quite 100 percent if he did do
it til the end. smart kid. Panicked parents. We are
very thankful he graduated. Now onto Real life.
Getting ready for a mission and working hard.
Congratulations David We Love you!!!

Holly Track meet - High Jump

Holly got second place in the High Jump for 6th grade.
Pretty good for being the alternate. Out of 6 schools.
She did awesome!! Congratulations Holly - We think you
are awesome!!

Mothers day!!

My Wonderful Children. That is what Mothers day is about.
Look how gorgeous they are!!! I had a superb Moms Day!!
Breakfast in bed, wonderful gifts, and a day with my family.
To be a mother is a blessing. They grow up and seem to
take wings without you being aware of it. I can't believe
in a few short months my son will be on a mission. My
daughter is in track and loving it!! At times I couldn't
wait for them to be independent and now I look back and
think - What can I do for them now?
I love you David, Holly and Sarah.
