Wow, I have not updated for along time, so I thought I should probably get started before time fly's by again.



Here we are almost into the summer of 2009 and alot is happening and has happened. So here is an updated picture of me and I must say my pictures are always pretty funny looking and Sarah and I just laugh at my lopsided smile. I am currently recovering from foot surgery, where I had a pin put in my second toe, to straighten it out. I figured while my feet still have circulation in them, I needed to get it done.


For the last few months, I have been filling out applications for scholarships and entrance fees for Susie for College. It has been very tense as she had to decide by May 1 where she wanted to go to school. She had taken it down to three choices, USU, Salt Lake Community College and Westminster College. She finally chose Westminster and will be working to get into their Nursing program. She wants to be a Nurse more then anything and they seem to have the best Nursing program and there is more one on one with the professors there.



I will be very sad when she moves down there as she is my last to leave home and yet I am so excited for her. She is so smart and has worked hard to reach her goals. This will be an exciting time in her life.


So life goes on and we both are starting new chapters in our lives.






I have to share Susie's pictures that Sarah just took. They are so cute and the thing that really surprised me is how much she looks like my mom, when she was about her age. Susie has her eyes and nose and is just pretty.























































2009 is half over and our lives are ever changing. Sarah will have been married for one year in June, and she and Dirk are building their home. Her brother, Christopher drew up the plans and her Dad and brothers are building it. She still works at the bank, and is looking for the day when she can stay home and begin a family.

Benjamin is working for his Dad in Construction and enjoying his freedom. Jonathan and Brittany are having fun being parents to Jacob and doing life. Christohper and Nicole, are our inspiration. Nicole is the best at blogging and keeping up todate. I should take a lesson. So to get current news on them, just go to their blog. You will always find up to date details on my grandkids and happenings in their home.

I love all my children and I am so proud of them all. Life will move on and we all just keep growing into the changes. Isn't it just great to sit and wonder what we will grow into, tomorrow? Life is a great journey through time. The best of time and the worst of time, but when we all hang together and support each other then it makes it easier and more fun to grow into tomorrow.
Just watching my children move into their lives and make their way, warms my heart, because they are all so special and are all heading in the right direction.

Life is great and 2009 is the best of the best.
