Seminary graduation

McKenzie had Seminary graduation on Sunday!
There were 10 seniors from the ward who graduated!

The Cove Ward Seminary Graduates!

Not the best picture, but still it is a picture of Mom and McKenzie!
She is always complaining we don't have any pictures together!

McKenzie and Steven Welch!
These two have been friends since they were 4!
They are like brother and sister!

McKenzie and Nate Erickson!
Her good buddy from the ward!

The Girls! Friends for life!

Way to go McKenzie! Just one more thing to check off the list!

Happy 66th Birthday Dad!

Yesterday was my dad's 66th Birthday!
He was actually here, because he came out for McKenzie's Graduation!
It is so great having him here!
The boys all love it because he is a " way fun " Grandpa!
I tried to find a picture of him when he was younger,
and then I thought it would be fun if I could find
a picture of he and I together.
So after digging through pictures
I found this one!
Oh My Gosh! We are both so young!!

Happy Birthday Dad/Grandpa

We Love you!!!!!!

May 24th, 2010 "Are you kidding me?"

Just a few days a go I was sitting at a baseball game in the warmth of the sun,
and today I wake up to this!
I looked out the window and all I could say is,
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"
Yes, today is May 24th.
The first day of the last week of school before summer break!
Or should we say winter break?
Break out the jackets and the snow boots!
(Which I packed away last week!)

Even the boys, who love the snow did not seem particularly happy about it!

I think I will save this one for a Christmas card!
Even the deer seemed to be saying, "SERIOUSLY!"

Lone Peak Baseball

I am not much of a Baseball fan.
The game always seemed a little boring and slow to me,
but yesterday Annette talked me into going to the
State Championship Game that Lone Peak was playing in!
Well, it was anything but boring,
and so worth going to just to see the big pile up at the end!
I don't even have boys playing and I wanted to cry!
Lone Peak is the new State Baseball Champs!

And I love the picture!
Love the catcher at the top diving into the pile!!

Mothers Day Bouquet

For Mothers Day Summer brought me this yummy
"Fruit Bouquet"
It was so fun I didn't want to eat it,
but I did...........

Thanks Summer!!!!!!

MATC Graduation

McKenzie is not our only child, but as of lately it seems that way!
Because of graduation it seems that everything going on is about her,
as was last night when she graduated from
MountainLand Applied Technology College
and now has her Certified Nursing Assistant Certificate!
We are so proud of her!
She did really well and always had some of the top scores in the class,
and her teacher told me last night how much she loved
having McKenzie in her class!

McKenzie with some of the students in her class
and her teacher!
(The boy in the back that is pretending to be tall
is probably shorter than all of the girls
so he is standing on a chair!) :)

This is one of her favorite friends that she had class with,
as well as the picture at the bottom of this post
with another one of her favorite friends,
neither of which go to her high school!
McKenzie told me that one of the things she enjoyed about
doing the CNA program was
making new friends with those that she might not have been friends with otherwise!

While we were at her graduation she missed going to the
"Knight of Recognition"
Ceremony that was at the High School for the Seniors.
My friend Annette texted me through out the night to let me know that
McKenzie had received a Scholarship Award
as well as the "Principals Award" that is awarded
to only 20 graduating Seniors
from the class of about 700 seniors.
The award winners are picked because the Principal feels they
best represent Lone Peak High School.
Apparently it is a coveted award!
She had no idea she was getting it and was so surprised when I told her.
Today they came into one of her classes and gave her a plaque!
We are so proud of her!!
(If any of my other children are reading this,
know that we are so proud of all of you!!!) :)

Way to go McKenzie!

McKenzies Senior Pictures

We got McKenzies Senior pictures back
And I love every one of them!
Our photographer did such a great job
and it helps that McKenzie is a natural in front of the camera!

If you scroll down to look at anymore posts that I have you are going to want to click the little sound thing at the top of the slide show off, because it never shuts up!!!!! :)
