Lake Powell - July 2nd - 5th, 2010

We went to Lake Powell over the 4th of July weekend again this year. We had a blast. We go to the Wahweep Marina just outside of Page AZ. The weather was amazing, the water was perfect. The house boat has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. We ate great food and watched some of the games of The World Cup.

Wow, what a week. As it is every year at the end of the school year. Finishing up, we got it all done!! We were doing the "happy dance" last night as Katie graduated from High School; her journey has been hard, each grade a victory. Some kids go through school with no effort, some excel and some fight everyday to make it. We so proud of you Katie!!

Sassy!

Friends

So Happy!!!

Yea!! You did it!!

It is very traditional to wear a flower lei at graduation, here they take it even further, we have a large Polynesian influence, and with my son in law being Tongan, Tua's Aunt fashioned these amazing candy leis for Katie. They really only want the kids to wear one lei at graduation but after they showered with leis. Some are made out of money, candy and treats, some will get so many you can hardly see their face.

What a Mother's Day!

I know that Mother's Day can come with mixed emotions. For those we can not have children, for those who have lost children and for Mother's who wonder do I measure up, I'm I doing a good job.

I had a wonderful morning at church, came home and was showered with gifts. I got to take a long nap and woke up to an amazing dinner. (Thank you Donny and to all my kids) I love you!

Softball 2010

Along with dance my girls love playing softball (Sierra's favorite sport is basketball). This year was a little tricky because of the weather it's has been cold and rainy most of the season, not very fun to play softball in. Katie is a senior and at the last game they highlight the seniors and we only had three of them this year. Go Lady Bulldogs!

It's raining!
