Girl Scouts

MaKady has worked hard all year in girl scouts. She did great with the cookie selling and she has earned several badges and awards. She is also moving on to the older girls. She has spent 2 years in the Junior and now she has completed her bridging and she is a Cadette. Good job MaKady!!!

Kindergarten Graduation

Paige graduated from Kindergarten on Thursday. It was so cute. They had a little program in the gym. There were so many people there, parents, grandparents, and brothers and sisters. I even checked MaKady out of class for an hour so she could be there. All three of the little kindergarten classes filed in and sat on the steps of the stage. Then sang so many cute little songs. Then they were all given their diplomas one by one.

After it was over Paige wanted a picture of herself holding her scrapbook page from her teacher. On the way home she asked me why I didn't cry. I told her because I wasn't sad and she said "but you were supposed to cry when we sang that song at the end, our teacher said it would make our parents cry because it would make them sad to see their kids growing up." I told her I was excited for her to grow up and to live life. I told her that her milestones make me happy for her. She thought about it for a minute and then said "but mom, you were supposed to cry." Oh the mind of a six year old.

Forever..............

It has been a long time coming. Jared and I have been married almost 8 years and on Saturday May 16, 2009 we were finally able to have our family sealed together in the Manti Temple. It was one of the best days of my life. I am so grateful that I will have my family forever.

Thank you to all those who where able to join us. And a special thanks to Tessa for taking our pictures and Carianne for the editing.

Spring is Here...

I love living where we live. I know that the weather is crazy sometimes and one minute it's pouring rain and the next it's sunny, but it's so beautiful either way. The orchards are in bloom and I just had to take advantage of that. Yesterday it was pouring rain, but right after church for about an hour there was a clear spot and the sun came out. We ran out and took some pictures of the kids. Then a little while later the clouds rolled back in and it was raining again.
