Class of 2009

 

Sometimes life is like walking through a land mine. You never know where the explosives are hidden...until you step on one and fall apart. Today is like that. Graduation day. My heart is broken today..wishing I could be watching Michelle walk across that stage and retrieve her diploma with all of her friends. Instead I will place flowers on her grave...and ache for her. It will be a tough day, but this too shall pass...

Luke's new haircut

 
Posted by Picasa

So, he asked me to cut his hair...he said he wanted it shaved and then to leave a strip around the side. I thought he was describing a mohawk and proceeded to give him a lecture on not looking like a thug. He said, "No...I want my hair like an old man's, bald on the top...with just fringe on the sides and back" "OH...you want to look like an idiot..now THAT I can do!!" So, I gave him this haircut. He went to school that way the next day. He wore a hat and walked into his first period classroom. The teacher yelled at him about wearing a hat in class and made him take it off...and then she just laughed. He had fun with it, then I finished the shave job that night. SO, now he's just bald.

Mrs. T

 

Peer pressure got the best of Pam yesterday...she did something she has NEVER done before..and probably will NEVER do again. She went on Splash Mountain. Against her better judgement, we (Jodie and I) convinced her that it was a harmless little ride, we could get splashed a little, but it would be easy and not scary. We lied. We manuvered our way around so that she, unbeknownst to her, would be sitting in the very front. She was terrified. This picture is genuine terror, not posed. We got off the ride soaking wet, and went to view the picture. I haven't laughed that hard in so long. The photo people at Disneyland were all laughing too. They said the picture fit all of their "criteria" and had Pam sign a bunch of releases so that they could use the picture. As soon as she signed her life away they printed an 8X10, put it in a frame and put it on display. THey hadn't had one that fit their "criteria" since December. I am still laughing!!

Heaven's newest angel

 

This is Michelle and Damario at the Celebration of Champions in May 2007. He earned his angel wings today after a long battle with Leukemia. He fought hard to stay alive, but in the end he told his mom that he was tired and he wanted to go home to live with Jesus. He is free from pain and needles and hospitals forever.

Shannon

 

Today would have been Shannon's 26th birthday. Hard to believe. Rocky and I spent the day in the temple. It was the perfect place to feel close to our girls and find some comfort.
