My Graduation and a HUGE Surprise

You know, I think it's ironic how people can keep secrets from me. I am talking about BIG secrets, for MONTHS! Everyone knew BUT me, that my dear friend, Javawn and her family were planning to show up for my graduation. Long story short, I was VERY surprised and I cried (with joy, of course). It had, at that point been almost two years since we've seen each other. Here are some pictures from that memorable day!

Beautiful Girls

Handsome Boys

Myles being interviewed, they asked him who he was here for...

Then I had to join...

And of course Ronnie was not gonna be left out of the lime light!

Waiting for the ceremony to start

Still waiting...

Forever Friends

Not real sure what's happening in this picture...

More of the handsome boys
Friends forever, well, they call themselves cousins...so that must be what they are!
Yep, I am down there amongst nearly 1000 graduates. Thankfully I was in the third row and sneaked out after walking.

Life in the Real World!

Let me preface everything I am about to say by saying, I have the most wonderful, intelligent, beautiful, talented children ever created! (now I've lost you because your thinking, she's wrong, I do, your right, you do too!) So why is it that they can also be the complete opposite(at times)? Why do I have to tell the same child everyday to not bring a blanket to the table. I tell them "Please get dressed before you come eat."

How is it that my child, who thinks the world is their ca...

"Train up a child"

This is not just a cliche, it is scripture. And it may very well be one of the most used scriptures. On Tuesday night, my boys participated in their very first communion and foot washing service. Some may think they are too young and don't understand the symbolism, and that may be true, but being that they both have the Holy Ghost and have been baptized, I thought it was time for them to take part. I explained to them what would happen and the reasoning behind it. I also asked them to examine their hearts to make sure they were heaven ready. They both seemed to understand and they both expressed desire to follow through. It was all going well until Ashley realized they had something in their hand that she didn't. She asked me what it was, and I told her. Here is how the conversation went.. Ashley: "I want grape juice too!" Me: "Well, honey you are still too young." Ashley: "Why I too young?" Me: "It's for after you get the Holy Ghost and ...
