Sorry...but I am putting it all out there.

I have so many pictures of things we have done that I would like to put on my blog so I can have them in my history book. But I keep ignoring them because there are so many. So in no particular order I am putting them all on with a blurb and hopefully I can get caught up and do a little better staying caught up.

The Draper Temple was dedicated in March of this year. The youth of the Draper Temple district had a Temple celebration. They had a choir of over 4000 youth. Every stake had a group of dancers dancing out an era of time in church history. Our stake was assigned the immigration of people from other countries coming to America to be part of the LDS people here. This is TJ and Ashley with their costumes. I have to say that I was really worried about the organization of this whole mass of youth. 7000 youth coming together to put on a celebration and be professional. This production was the most amazing thing I have seen. It once again tells me who's church this really is. I am thankful for a Heavenly Father who allows us to keep having experiences to let us know he loves and cares for us. And, I am always impressed with the youth. LDS and non LDS kids participated and had a great time.


TJ was from Germany







Ashley was Ireland.



It was held in the conference center. The youth got the bottom section and so us parents sat in the balcony. Yes I did bring binoculars.




This is a picture of President Monson through my binoculars.


Its hard to have a favorite but this was one of them on the top of the list. Before President Monson spoke he had everyone sing Happy Birthday to President Iring.

What a great night. Jason and Lacey came with us as well as KC. I will remember this for a long time.



We took Corbin to the Aquarium. As a mother it is really fun to watch your child's awe at seeing something new. But, as a grandma it is a whole different perspective. I love this little boy and even though Ashly and TJ thought the Aquarium a little boring. Corbin was amazed at every little thing.



I was the Young Women's basketball coach. I had to put this picture in. I love these girls. Especially one of them. :)


In TJ's life skills class at school they do what is called music therapy and yoga. They practice these things all year long and then have production at the end of the year.



TJ doing Yoga


This is an exercise in coordination. They beat the stick to music. Quit impressive I thought.

I have to say the best part is the support we get from family and friends. This is not the most exciting concert but we always have those who are there to support TJ.


Thanks Doug, Nancy and Katie!


Thanks Grandpa and Grandma. And a special thanks to Uncle Mark. Who came all the way from Menan Idaho. Okay so he was already here doing something else. But he came and that made me happy.


Ashley had her end of the year dance concert.

I am not really a dance mom. I didn't even bring flower or remember that you are suppose to. But, thanks to Lacey the flowers were covered. Thanks Lacey for coming to support Ashley.


But dance is wearing off on me. Especially when your dancer is so cute.


Well, this is about at third of the pictures. So until next time. Hope everyone is having a great summer.
