Birthday Bash

Last Sunday Nathan turned 14. After careful consideration we broke down and gave him a cell phone. I don't think we would of caved in if he wasn't such a good kid. With the girls it was such a pain to monitor the texting of who, where, what and how many...yikes! It has been a week and so far so good. :) So, the birthday celebration was going good until....wa bam-crash! The sound of breaking glass! We ran to the backyard to see the first layer of glass in the dining room window shattered. Nathan had a big rubber snake he was flinging around and it just happened to fly into the window. Oops! It's a good thing it was his birthday.

The Graduate

Our cute little Kaitlyn graduated from Northridge High School on Friday June 5, 2009. It's hard to understand where time goes. Really. She was barely in the first grade it seems. Five years ago when Mick was called as Bishop, I remember saying..."you will be done serving as Bishop when Katie graduates from high school." It seemed so far away since she was just 12 years old at the time. Well, she graduated on Friday and Mick was released as Bishop on Sunday. It was also Nathan's 14th birthday on Sunday, and five years from now he will leave on a mission.

And so it goes...













Katie plans on attending Utah State University in the fall and pursuing a degree in Elementary Education. Way to go Katie, we sure love you!
