Love This Pic


I love this picture! Adelyn looks so happy.... and her hair, its classic. She was sliding down a box Trav made into a slide on the couch.

Lit'l Sis Graduates!



Congrats Jenny! We are so proud of you. Jenny graduated from high school this weekend. We were able to attend both her seminary graduation and her high school graduation. Jenny sang beautifully in both graduations. I made her a graduation lei for the event.It was made of candy and money. I was worried the seran wrap would not keep in all the candy. She said the candy made for a good treat during graaduation and that some of it fell out! Sorry. Anways... good luck in the future. We love you!

This was the first graduation ceremony that is not a PHS graduation I have ever attended too! It made me realize how grateful for the graduation ceremony I had from high school. I left realizing I want to raise my children in a small town so they can have the same incredible experiances I had. At PHS, graduation talks were read and edited a bit, we practiced for weeks for graduation, we memorized songs, we had to give our talks in front of our class a couple times.... and at the end of the program we have baby pics and senior pics of every student graduating. Our class really bonded during the experiance. And while I sat there at graduation this weekend....all I could think was THANK YOU SANDRA AND GAIL AND PHS!!!!!! I had no idea at the time of my graduation how grateful I would be for all your efforts and time in making our parting from good ol' PHS so CLASSY! It really is a rare gem of experiance to have such a great graduation. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

Free at Last.....

Finally- school is out! I am soooo very excited to be at home for the summer with Adelyn. Hopefully life will slow down a bit... but I dont really count on it with Adelyn. She is so active and fun. But I will definately enjoy being busy if I am playing and keeping up with her. There were many times this school year where I did not think I would make it to the end. But...I did! . And I will enjoy summer and my family. June, July,and August... The greatest part of working in education:)

Grandpas Girl!



The school I work at we had "Western Week" and the kindergarteners made me a cowgirl vest. Trav took some pictures of Addie in it and I thought they were HIlariious. He also taught her to say "yee- haw". Grandpa Orton would be so proud!

Summer Swimmin'




ok... So I know it has been freezin cold here, but before that there was a weekend day where it was like 90 degrees. We went and got Adelyn a swimmin pool and we all spent the day in the sun in the pool. It was a blast. Hope the temperature allows for more swimmin this summer (Adelyn LOVES to be outside)!

Mom

This post is dedicated to my mother. My mother is so fun, always in fashion,and knows all the SUU gossip. She is always up for a shopping trip. My mom is so fun to be around and she is a wonderful Grandma. First thing when we go to Grandma Rowleys Adelyn goes to the shop, grabs the fingernail polish, and takes it to Grandma who is thrilled to paint her fingers. We love you Mom and appreciate all you do!

Here is a fav quote from this last conference on Mothers!
"There is no one perfect way to be a good mother. Each mother has different challanges, different skills and abilities, and certainly different children. What matters is that a Mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else."
Elder Russell Ballard

Thanks for everything Mom!

Mothers Day



We had a very busy Mothers Day. We were able to go to church with all of Trav's family and listen to Jennys wonderful talk. Then we had all the Youngs together at our house for breakfast brunch. It was fun. We gave Mom Young some flowers for Mothers and the Family helped plant them as she directed. It was fun. I am so glad Mom had all her family around her for Mothers Day. We love you Mom and appreciate all you do for all your children.
