Class of 2010


Oh my gosh is it really this time, have we made it through? Saturday April 10,2010 this little guy graduated from BYU Idaho. He now has a degree!!! What a great feeling.

Marching across the stage to recieve his "diploma cover" as the guy doing the announcing said. They will get their actual diplomas later in the mail. Really though it is the cover that we were after!

Here is Jeff and his dad, thanks for coming, it meant a lot!! and a huge thanks to his mom and dad for all the many hours they have helped us with our kids while we were trying to juggle my full time job, his part time job and his full time school schedule. **We made it**

This is our neighbor/2nd mom to us both, Claudia. They have been our neighbors for 6 years now and we love her right to death. Her husband John, our 2nd father passed away in February. Jeff and John were very close and it has been hard not to have him around, but as Claudia tearfully reminds us, he was there in spirit and he would have been very proud of his Jeff's accomplishment!!

Here is me, his very proud wife. It has been hard as heck and I don't think anything in our life is the way we ever planned, but it is awesome to see the young man reach his goals.

The graduation was very nice, it only lasted about an hour but the kids while proud, were very restless, they wanted to run up and down the stairs like toddlers when we were finished. Yikes!!

And the proud family all together. Good job Jeffrey! Now lets go find a job!!

Wow that was a great day, I never thought it would come. I really wish that you all could have been there with us, especially Jon, but im know he was. Now it is like we are starting our lives all over again, and ready for new challenges and great experiences. I love my family so much and am so glad that the kids could be there with us.
