Graduation

 WooHoo for Kevin and Justin!  They both Graduated today from Weber State!  Kevin walked but Justin decided to work since college has already cost him so much.  I am very proud of my son's for working hard and getting their degree's.

The kids have mostly done it on their own.  We have helped very little and for that I am even prouder and they hopefully are too.  I have awesome kids and I'm very proud of each one of them.  They all work really hard and haven't given up. (the two younger ones think about giving up but hopefully they will look up at their older siblings and hang on)
It was a happy day for us all.  I'm so proud of the love and support we all have for each other.  Even though this month has had it's challenges it has also had many blessings.  Today was a huge blessing!

I'm so thankful for the strength of my kids and their will to press forward!  I hope and pray they will always be blessed for their efforts.  Oh.....I.....Love.....Them!

Yes I Am....

I can't help but puff my chest out just a little today with all that my kids have and are accomplishing.  Justin and Kevin each graduate today. WooHoo!!!  They have worked so hard and I am just really proud of them.  Trichelle continues on her path to graduation and since she shares with me more than the boys I know how much she has loved all the things she has learned on her journey.  I love having her share her love of learning with me....makes me smile.  Jaydan is just about done with his schooling in Massage Therapy and has loved it.  He gets such good grades because of his interest in what he is doing.  I love having me share his success with me.  These are some of the rewards of being a mom.  Kimleighel and Jared are both at a hard time in life......adolescence....but they are pushing through and are great kids.

I love being a mom and I love watching my kids succeed.  These 7 people that call me mom make my heart smile.....HUGE!  I love them all so much and they have each made my dreams come true.
(maybe a few nightmares too.....reality!)
