JDRF Walk To Find A Cure

My dear friends and family that read my blog, it is that time of year again when Christian will be doing his walk in September for the JDRF. I will be posting more information about it later and letting you all know how much we have raised to help find a cure.

6th Grade Graduation WOOHOO!

Finally! After all the hard work and hours she has made it! The theme as you can see is "Shoot for the Stars" We were all able to be there for her. I am on the PTA and I was in charge of getting a speaker. We have a young man in our neighborhood, that is an AWESOME person! I was able to get him to speak at her graduation (we love you Anthony!!)


The whole Fam Damily

Anthony and Makayla (look at those dimples!)

N.O.V.A Graduation

At Orem Elementary half way through the year they have a program that is called NOVA. It is basically a program that teaches kids not to do drugs or drink and how to stop bullying and how to not be a bully....stuff like that.

When the program is over, you get to graduate from the program. This is also packed into the 6th grade graduation, field day and all the other activities that the school does at the end of the year.

Makayla, Bianca and Baylee (AKA Larry, Curly and Mo :) )

Sgt. Wakamatzu and Mr. Davies (I don't remember the name of the guy in the white shirt :) )

Wisteria

We have a wisteria in our front yard. One day while I was walking around the yard I noticed it was in pretty much full bloom. I couldn't resist taking pictures of it.

I love it when it is at this point, it smells like root beer! :)

Christians 14th birthday

For his birthday, we had a BBQ and some of the family over. Grandma sue and Grandpa Dennis had already come over. They gave him a laptop and he didn't want to wait until Friday for it.

Can you see all the facial hairs?!? :)

I have already posted this but it was too cute to not do it again.

Food, family and fun, what more can you ask for?

Too long...

It has been way too long since I have been on here! SO many things have happened. So I will get started and try to get caught up for a few :)
