I love my family… SO MUCH!

They are everything to me. There has been so much going on with my kiddos this last while, and I wanted to make sure I record some of it, through pictures. I haven’t blogged for so long… I am trying to find a way to work it into my life again, it has been so valuable to me over the years, and helps me to remember events and times I might have otherwise forgotten.

This is my effort to begin again… maybe it will catch on for me, maybe it will be 6 months before I post again… I dunno. 🙂

An update on my family…

• Sammi and Nico graduated from BSU! WooHoo! They have been doing shows at the Boise Little Theater… new adventures are coming for them… exciting times!
• Dan has been going to BYU, teaching voice lessons, and performing at the Hale theater in Utah, and dating Amanda! 😉
• William graduated from high school, he is going to BYU in the Engineering program (he will be roommates with Dan!), and he enjoys wearing cowboy boots and a mustache! YeeHaw!
• Henry is rocking it in middle school, and playing in the band. He has been working on growing tall, and looking like Dan.
• Johnathan is making so much progress, and is such a joy! He will be going to preschool in the fall, which will be so good for him. (He was diagnosed with Autism last year.)
• I have been going back to school through BYU Pathway. I also spend a lot of time on home improvements. I took a break from school for the summer, but I am trying to prevent my brain from falling out, through continuing my education.
• Charles is hanging out in the Spirit World. I am not exactly sure what he is doing, but I know he is SO proud of his children! He is probably wearing cowboy boots, too. And he definitely has a spiritual pickup truck. 😉

We have been able to gather as a family quite a bit this year! I look forward to more gatherings to come. It is hard when family is stretched across many states, but that is just how life goes. We still find time to all get together to laugh, sing, play, eat, and enjoy our special family bond.

I could write more… but for now… let’s let the pictures do the talking. There are a lot of them…

HOORAY for FAMILY!

(Some pictures were not taken by me, like Sammi’s graduation pic... and they are in really random order.)
