Happy 2010

Well It's a new year!!!! Last year was pretty tough but we made it through! Christmas was great this year, everyone was home and what a blessing that was.
Michelle was home first then Cordell and it felt like old times again =) I truly miss having all the kids home, although Marcus is here at home it's like he's not, he works nights and sleeps all day i might get a glimse of him on his way out..... and the occational hey can you do my laundry....
Well everyone i hope you're New Year is great and may it be all you hope for...

Great Friends

Graham And Angie have been a big blessing in our lives. They have been Michelle's second family. They have treated her as if she was there own daughter, and have helped it feel like home for her while she lived with them for her senior year. During that period of time, they have grown closer to each other. Michelle would go shopping with angie (which she loved), she would play guitar hero with Graham no matter the time of day, and she would love watching baby atticus and Emerson. she was like there BIG Sister, She taught atticus the number 8, how cute. And she taught Emerson how to ride a bike.( In as little as 15 minutes how cool!). It makes me sad to know that i took my baby girl back from such a great family that she has learned to love so much. But im am glad she is back with her momma :) Our family will always be eternaly greatful for their love and kindness they have shared with us. And we hope to make many more memories with them! Thanks guys, we love you!

Michelle Did it!

On june 5,2009 Michelle graduated from Mount Miguel High school. She finally did it! Richard, Marcus and I all flew down to San Diego to join her in celebrating. We all had a wonderful time visiting old friends and enjoying the June gloom! haha And we can't forget the Great MEXICAN food. YOU DID IT MICHELLE AND WE ARE ALL PROUD OF YOU!

Welcome

This year has been crazy for our family. From our baby girl Michelle graduating High School and turning 18. To Marcus getting ready to leave on his Mission to serve the lord. All the way up to Cordell traveling the world while in the navy. Richard and I have learned to let open our arms and let them start their own lives. Michelle will be starting school this fall at the University of Utah. We are all so proud of her to be the first in our family to experiance college. Cordell will be landing in the United States Mid-Augest. He can't wait to be back, and we can't either. Marcus should be leaving here pretty, soon just waitting on getting those papers turned in. We are so proud of how far our little family has come and we are ready to take on many more challenges.
