Beautiful Temple ceremony and a perfect day.The reception was a blast. We had so much fun with family & friends!!! They are such a cute couple :)
KELESY- Is a JUNIOR and will be driving this year! She also made the CHS Intermediate Dance Team. She is excited to be taking Psychology and Child Development and can't wait to get her FAKE baby!
AUSTIN- Is a FRESHMAN and this is his first year in SEMINARY! He made CHS "ASB" and is having a blast already. He was put to work over the summer. He loves high school. He already did a prank the first week...he put "caution tape" around a section and got a security guard stand there and tell the students "not to go over there"!! I have no idea why or what he was doing but he was having fun he said? He loves taking care of his sisters needs at high school...what a sweet bro
GARRETT- Is in 7th grade. Made DMS Sound Wave! We are so excited for him to be traveling singing and dancing. He also is a 7th grade representative in Student Council. He is going to be very busy.
BLAKE- Is in 2nd grade. He got our favorite teacher Mrs. Butler that we have had with 3 of our other kids. He is so excited and said on the first day of school that he feels like he's "GROWN UP". He still holds my hand and kisses me when the Bell rings...he's my baby for sure!
Hiding to say "Surprise"
Childhood friends Emily & Michaela
You are such a wonderful daughter full of life and laughter. We love how you are so strong.
His class celebrated summer b-days before school ended.
Blake said, "Mom...do you like the first or second Michael Jackson?" Of course I had him explain and he said because MJ looks different and he wanted to know which one I liked better. I told him he has not changed on the inside. Than he told me he couldn't decide if he liked Michael when he was younger or when he was older! Blake loves watching MJ sing in his younger years. AND he went to bed listening to his songs!
AUSTIN standing by his STAR 
Our little guy is growing up! He is funny....he has been planning and dreaming about his grad outfit for a whole year :)
His Show Choir group sang a couple songs for the last time.
We took him to "brunch" than he wanted to be dropped off at the crosswalk so when the bell rung he could say goodbye and give all the 7th & 6th graders HUGS. So cute.
Well we cant leave their sisters out...they both made the CHS Intermediate Dance group. Ashley will be attending a two high schools her senior year on a daily basis! She got into a nursing program :)

So, mom has been in the hospital for three days now and they finally figured out from many tests that she has gallstones. So, Heidi and I decided to go and visit her but if you know Heidi...she is very creative and spontaneous. With two big bags full of costume accessories we changed in the hallway of the HOSPITAL and put on fairy/cowgirl/hawaiian outfits on to make mom happy. Well she was more than happy...she was SHOCKED :)
