Darren's Graduation

Darren has now graduated....that is the end of all the nieces and nephews....Katelin also graduated this year. I can't believe he is all grown up. I can still remember when he was just little....he was one of the cutest little kids you ever saw. We always thought that he was going to grow up to be a politician because everything he said was always the best thing to say....he had a real talent for shmooshing his mom! It's been fun to watch him grow up and see how good he has done in so many things. I get to ride back and forth to work with him sometimes and the last months you can just see his growth....he's going to do great in whatever he chooses to do. We love you Bear....you're awesome!


No one....and I mean no one.....watches out and is prouder of their son than Kathie is of Darren. She loves him to infinity and beyond. I think that Darren is so lucky that he has such great parents...and they can be proud of Darren!





It was so fun to share this day with Darren and the Family....we feel blessed!

Happy Birthday Zach

Zach turned 23 this year and we decided to have a Celebration!!!! After all Zach is a great reason to celebrate. He is such an awesome person. Zach has always been easy going and loving....unless you push the wrong button...but that doesn't happen very often. It is inspiring to watch how he lives his life, he is so disciplined and can pretty much accomplish anything he puts his mind to. He always makes the right choices (one reason is because he analyzes everything he does) and always maintains a calmness...He loves the gospel and really knows his scriptures...he pretty much loves everyone but he especially loves his wife who is the perfect mate for him, it's fun to watch how good he is to her....Zaira is one lucky girl! I know great things are in store for Zach!! We love you Zachy-poo-poo
We tried to have a surprise party for Zach....but we weren't very successful in the planning because Zach decided to go to work early that day which meant that he got home early. Zaira tried to get him to go do some other things but it was one of Zach's rare moments of stubbornness and he refused. Anyway the party was fun....even if it wasn't a surprise! Thanks to all the family who came.
I hope the wish was a good one because it is definately going to come true!

Zaira picked him out a purple V neck tshirt....just to style him up a bit....he even liked it!


We all think Zach walks on water!
Brookie was our entertainment with her very own rendition of "Camp Rock"

Brooklyn's Preschool Graduation

Brooklyn has officially graduated from preschool and is heading for kindergarten! She has attended the same preschool class for the last three years....so this was quite the celebration! Brookie has done awesome in preschool and learned so many fun things. It has been fun watching her grow up into quite the little Lady....We love you Brookie!
I think her teacher picked the smartest, cutest, best pupil to lead the Pledge of Allegiance...and guess who that was.....your right....Brooklyn! Is she just the cutest thing you've ever seen!


Their class performed lots of songs...all with cute actions. Each student also had a speaking part. Brooklyn knew just what to do on everything.....She stole the show....watch out Hannah Montana here comes Brookie!


Brookie Loved getting her roses from her Dad...whom she has wrapped around her little finger... and her mom!

This was a celebration for the whole Family!

...even Aunt Ziara joined in the fun!
