Brett's Big Day

Today was Brett's graduation day for Stansbury High School. Congratulations!





Preparing for the toss of the tassel and the toss of the cap. Check below to see Brett's blonde bare head on the back row. Who knows where his cap ended up!








Outside the Huntsman Center after the ceremony. Yes, it's finally over and yes, Dad and Mom were there to see it happen.



Good job, Brett. Off to college in the fall.

Time Sure Flies

Looking at the last post on our blog it seems as if time is running at an incredible rate, but in reality time cannot be moving slower. School just doesn't seem to end, it snowed last week, and Taylor is still in the United States. Here is a recap of the past 130 days since our last post. Let's cut the chit chat and get to some pictures.




Me and Taylor putting a new spin on the Christmas break puzzle tradition. We had a 40-piece puzzle race, it was a heated battle but alas I came out on top.














Stansbury Village won an unprecedented fourth straight stake basketball championship. We are talking a minimum eight-peat here. Are hopes are put into the young men's organization and Glenn Roberts as our "Big Four" of high school talented players are all gone.







Taylor completed all of his mission interviews and received his call.













Mom and Dad spent some time in California after Talmage was born to help Jer and Kenz adjust to having four children in their home. Unluckily this trip fell on the first week of 2nd semester (the only time where I can't miss school).

















My desperate attempt to get a tan in February








The ultimate sign of Taylor's return from college, the two ipod touch's sharing counter space. Taylor has been home for just over a week and will be leaving on Wednesday for the MTC. I will not be in attendance because of one of the 10 days in which I must go to school. For a year in which I haven't done anything in school I tend to be missing a lot of stuff.







And finally in the spirit of Mother's day we received a shipment of flowers this past week (from Texas?). Mom feels pretty special because it was sent by the renowned Hymn writer and composer Anon.






It's only fitting that this post occurs on Mother's Day. It is no suprise that teenage boys don't exactly show a lot of affection and appreciation for the mother's, but that doesn't mean that it isn't there. I think we are all eternally grateful to have you as our mom and I just want to say thank you for giving me such a great enviroment to learn and grow into adulthood. Love you mom.
