Way to go Cara!!!!

I just got home from Cara's graduation and I am so proud of her. She is the fifth child to graduate from WHS in our fam and the 4th to get the white cord for 4.0 for four years. That makes all of my fam but Matt and my Mom WHS grads. They went to Bonneville.

I am very proud of her. She is super busy and that is a hard thing to do. She is going on to WSU and will also be the 5th child to graduate from there when she is done. She is going to be on the dance team at WSU and will be dancing hard like usual. I am hoping she will go far with her dance. She is awesome. I keep telling her to go down to LA and really take a chance on life. We will see.

So, congrats to all the other graduates out there.

My future MD

One of my wonderful friends gave these to Gabe for a belated birthday. He looks so cute in them and he has them in John Deere too. I don't care if he is MD, RN, RT, RpH, LCSW, PT, PhD, BSN, or anything he wants to be as long as he is successful in what he chooses. He is very cute though. (He has candy in his mouth)

Britt Nicole Rocks!!!

Tristen and I went to a concert on Monday to see her favorite singer Britt Nicole. We had so much fun. When she came onto stage, Tristen's face was completely amazed. Tristen sang every song with her. We have not removed her CD from the player in the car for months. Then, Tristen waved to Britt, and she waved back and said hello. Tristen loved it. It made me cry as Britt Nicole was talking about dedicating her music to God and talking about scripture on the stage. I love that my daughter looks up to someone that has clean music and lives a clean life. At the end of the concert, she came and waved at Tristen again. After the concert, we met Britt and Tristen had her sign her shirt and got a picture with her. Tristen told Britt Nicole that her favorite song was the fire song and asked Britt if she could come over to her house and play. Britt told her that she would love to, but had to go and sing for more people. I thanked her for being a good role model for my daughter with tears in my eyes again. So, I also love her music and have put some of her songs on my page if anyone would like to listen they are great. I loved having a girl's night out with Tristen that I also enjoyed.

To stay or go

Matt finishes school next May and the big debate is to find a job with his own company, or go somewhere else. I have very mixed feelings about this. I love my job, my house, my church, and having my family so close, but it may be a fun adventure to move somewhere else.

I lay at night before I go to bed and think about selling our house and packing up (while putting it on a TLC show) and I think yuck. Then, I think about saying goodbye to my Mom and I think no way. But still, in the back of my mind, there is a little part of me that wants to get out of here. I may be ready for an adventure and a new atmosphere.

I told my Mom that we thought about Texas and she told Matt not to even consider it and that it wasn't even an option. She then didn't sleep the whole entire night. I may break her heart if we leave.

Good thing that I don't have to decide for another year huh.

Great home pre-school program

I have been doing this great pre-school program online with Tristen at home lately, and thought I would put the website on if any of you would like to start it with your kids.

I talked to the teacher of the preschool she would be going to and she said that this teaches way more than they would even be learning in preschool. It is adjustable to all age groups, so I hope someone finds it interesting.

Have fun!

LAGOON, here we come!!!

I just bought my Lagoon season passes for the start of some summer fun!!! Coke products has this coupon on them right now to make them cheaper (you don't even have to have a big group). It was a good hunk of money, but I can't wait to go. As my sister-in-law pointed out, you could buy Lagoon passes 4 times for the same price you could buy a swing set for.

So, if any of the rest of you decide to get a season pass too, let me know and we will have a party!!!!!! The opening day is tomorrow, but d/t the rain forecast, we are going to try for Sunday after church. Matt is scared of heights and hasn't been to Lagoon for 15 years, so he is the designated stroller and Gaber's watcher. I may just get him on a roller coaster by the end of the summer.

Our newest family picture

My Dad love taking pictures, and this is our family photo from Easter. He does pretty well at it, it's just hard to get everyone times right with two kids.
