May 2018

We went to Women's Conference this year with Sidney, Carina, Zildy, Mami, Brianna, and Cat. It was such a fun way to spend time with Carina so soon after coming home.
We even got to hear Tanya Gamarra (Lamb) speak and we saw her mom. Their family were our good friends from Virginia when we lived there.



Then we came home that night and Brianna opened her mission call!!!

She got her mission call to Oaxaca, Mexico. She leaves Sept. 4th.


We had to go out for ice cream to celebrate. And don't ask me what they are doing here but I have a strange family!!!

In the morning we went on a short hike



Derick trying to hold on to win $100. Didn't quite make it. It's harder than it looks!

We went out to dinner at a Oaxacan Restaurant. Who knew they had one of those in Utah?

She's so happy to be going to Mexico on her mission! The hat suits her!

Some after-church pictures :)



And we even celebrated Zildy, Jonas, and Mami Rosario's birthdays.



Someone in our ward gave us tickets to Darryl Hall and John Oates concert.

Cameo an annual tradition.

We all got pedicures.

Carina's friends growing up. They came to Carina's homecoming :)

The moms :)

What are these girls playing?

Happy mother's day to my wonderful mom and sister! I am lucky to have them by my side! 

We couldn't get my mom to do the pyramid this time but she played along.

I finally have all my children with me for mother's day!!! Happy day!!! If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be a mom :)

Carina proctored for some AP tests this year.

We ran a 5K and we survived!

Pioneer Theatre

Wow what a beauty!

Kelly got married and we we had the pleasure to be there to celebrate this happy day with her!

Annie practicing hair do's for her class. Brianna is a good model because she has beautiful long hair.

Carina is HOME!!!

AHHH The anticipation!!!


The grandparents came out from Cheyenne to see her!

We are so excited to see her!


I love having her our very own videographer!


Looking at these pictures brings back all the emotions and I get teary eyed thinking about how happy I was to have my family back together!





Gracie's poster

We got her!

We went to have lunch at Zuppas and then went to temple square to walk around.


Like father, like son!

Luckily no one got in the reflection pool this time!

Playing card games again :)

Trevar stayed one extra day so that he could be here when Carina got home!

Just a cute picture! I think she was practicing for a school report.

April 2018

My birthday present from last year from Casey. Hard wood floors :) I love it! It looks so nice!

Gracie's book report made into a pizza.

Easter Egg hunt time! Everyone participates in this family!




Some of the eggs had money in them so the college kids were very into it!


Here we go with the shaving of Buster in stages...



He's all shaved! But then he started scratching himself so we put socks on him!



Sidney's dance performance. But we couldn't take pictures so I just have a picture of the program.

The cone of shame because he wouldn't stop scratching!

Ballroom Dance Team from Endeavour

Senior Capstone Night. A fun night where all the seniors display their capstone projects. Those present vote on favorites and then there is a winner.

One final dinner in Provo before Courtlex leaves for Boston. We did it in Jennandra's apartment because all the kids had finals so that saved them driving time. New tradition we decided.

But as usual it's an difficult process to take a picture!



They will surely be missed around here!
