Kirtland High School Gaduation 2009

I am still having a hard time believing that my baby girl graduated High School. It really has gone by way too fast. I am so proud of her. She really is a beautiful young women both inside and out. There is just no words to express how much love I feel for her and how special I know that she is!! I can't wait to see what the future holds for her. I know it will be bright.

Graduation was held on Saturday morning. It had rained and rained and we woke up to a cloudy day, but the rain held out until after graduation. It was a really nice ceremony. Best of all Kensie really did get her diploma! I will even confess that I was weepy during the whole thing. Not only did Kensie graduate but I had five Laurels graduating. It was a lot of emotion to try and hold in.

Kensie was really praying the rain would hold off because the girls had the white gowns on and her dress underneath was white with small purple flowers and she did NOT want to be that revealing on her big day!

If you look really close you can see Kensie at the mike. She was picked to sing two songs with three other girls. They did an incredible job and sounded beautiful! Kensie has a beautiful voice and I always love to hear her sing. Oh to be so talented!!! I also have to point out that three of the four girls were my Laurels. I am so going to miss those girls.

Kensie has always been wrapped around her Daddy's little finger. I don't think that is ever going to change.

How grateful I am for Jonette!! She is so special to me. I know how blessed Kensie has been to have her as her best friend. I am so happy they will still be together for college.

Isn't this picture just lovely? Mark and I had the opportunity to help with Project Graduation. It really was a great time. We started setting up at 6:00 and we got home around 3:30 am. Kensie took this picture at around 2:00 and I was so tired! Isn't Mark so funny!!! It is such a neat thing the parents do for the graduates. They had so much to do, tons of food to eat, and they got incredible prizes. I did learn something that night, I am really too old to stay up all night. It kick my behind!!! Just think I only get to do this two more times. Unfortunately thoses times will be here before we know it.

Congratulation Kensie!!!!

Senior Pictures

Here are some of Kensie's senior pictures. Thanks Kess, we love them!!

The Fish Prince

May has been such a busy month. One of the many things that went on this month was one of Mark's trips to Lake Powell. He goes a few times a year. Before this trip he took Kensie out to Morgan Lake to get some practicing in. They had a good day. Between the two of them they caught 33 fish!!!! I hate to eat fish...yuck!!! So I was really happy they were at Morgan because that is a power plant lake where the fish can have three eye so they just throw them back!!



Here is Kensie with one of her catches. She was really hoping that if she kissed it, maybe a prince would appear. I had to reminder her that only works with frogs, then she wasn't so dissapointed.

My Cute High Schoolers

We took Kensie's Senior pictures the week of my birthday. I told them all I wanted for my birthday gift was to have Kensie and Kade in their uniforms and take some pictures of them together. With Kensie graduating I knew this would be my last chance. Kensie was up for anything. Kade was a totally different story. For a couple of weeks he told me there was no way he was going to do that. So I begged and he still wasn't going for it. I didn't give up hope and he came through for me. When we were packing to go to my sisters (where we did pictures) he had his uniform. He told me he was only doing if because it was all I wanted for my birthday. AHHHH! It was worth it. I love them!!!





Together!!
