One Smart Cookie

That's right, folks, my baby sister Melissa has graduated from Brigham Young University. I am bursting with pride! She received a B.A. in History. I can't express how wonderful I think she is and how proud I am of her accomplishments.

One happy grad!


It makes me ill to post a photo of myself, but I am willing to suffer it to show how happy I am!


Congratulations, Mel. You're tha bomb!!!

By the way, I am going to adopt (steal?) something I saw on Mel's mother-in-law Nanci's blog. She ends every post by listing 3 things she is thankful for, going along with what she has written. So here goes:

1. The Lord's University

2. A beautiful, courageous sister

3. Springtime (even with a snow flurry or two)

So Glad It's Spring

What a hot day we had yesterday -- it was altogether lovely. (However, true to Utah form we will have another cold snap tomorrow or something. Blech!) Still, I'm so glad we're getting there weather-wise. Winter is so harsh and depressing. Here comes the sun!

Here are some photos from our trip to the park last week. Lots of sun and fun.






My little Bradley learning to ride without training wheels!!!






This was hilarious. He was frustrated, as you can see.


The next day we played a little golf in the backyard.




Joseph's thinking, "You ought to put your hands together, big brother."


It was very windy that day, blowing around so much yucky dust. Not clouds -- dust.


Joseph prepares for family prayer. The kids thought this was so funny!





Look at that big boy sitting up in a chair by himself. Sniff.
