It's Gardening time! 5/1/2010

Here, almost eight years later, this photo is precious!

Dad's garden is sold, these adorable kids are 25, 19 and 13 and I am going into the next phase of my life. The change is much harder than I could have anticipated, but photos like this remind me how much I have loved each day of my life!

HELLO HANDSOME!

I found this draft from May of 2010 and had to still post it :)  I LOVE this funny kid!!!!

Zach came in the other day and said . . . "If I could turn into anything I wanted, I would turn into me, then I would look in the mirror and say . . . HELL-O HANDSOME!"

End of my First Year teaching!

Memorial Day Weekend

*Vaughn's Daughter, Julie, and Son-In-Law. (Vaughn is Mom's cousin)

We spent the day at the Upper and Lower Cemeteries in Fairview. Mom, Dad and I went in Mom and Dad's van and George drove, Steve drove separately in his truck (3 beagles in the back). We stopped for a burger and shake at TeeCee's and had a great visit with my Aunt and Uncle, Blake and Terry Madsen. It's been years since I've been to Fairview and it brought back childhood memories of family, especially grandparents. Blake lives next door to my Grandparents family home.  

UVU Elementary Education Graduate!

 Dreams do come true!

My greatest accomplishment is my children and family, secondly, my education!

So much love and support! I LOVE them each, fiercely!

My Sweetheart, and greatest supporter! 

We spent an incredible day of celebrating! First, convocation, second, a yummy lunch at Tucanos brazilian bbq, and last, relaxation and visiting at home. (And who could resist a photo opp. with Willy the Wolverine and Emily from my cohort!)
