Annie's 8th grade promotion!

It was held at Williams Field High School

on the football field.

I didn't realize it was going to be so packed in the stands.

Cooley middle school has a lot more students than I realized.

 Proud of Annie girl!

She is a very happy, energetic, valiant girl.

High school is around the corner along with seminary!

Can't wait to have fun with her the next 4 years!

(Katie is babysitting for the Lindblom's this week. This is their youngest child)

 My 3 girls!

Amazing Annie!

 I love her cute dress!

 Friends from Jr. High

 Annie is a party planner and party thrower!

She wanted to have her first and last sleepover in the backyard and set up...

The big tent! 

 Bushra, Annie and Maddie

 Hannah and Glo...

 Getting ready to sleep?

Bushra, Hannah, Riley, Annie, Maddie, Addie, Emry & Kiara

 In the morning we went to the Lake. Everyone was excited to tube and try to wake board. Boats are awesome for parties. Everyone has fun and it's not much to entertain them.

 Hannah and Kinsley were quite entertained  by the girls wiping out on the tube.

 Annie's friend Bushra didn't know how to swim. But what a brave girl. She put on her life jacket and got on the tube and rode around the lake. Annie was posing to keep it alive out there. They were getting Bushra used to being in the water for the first time.

 It was Kinsley's first time in the water on a tube also. She warmed up quickly and had a great time.

 Hannah popped right up! First time on the wake board this year. I guess once you learn you never forget. Me... I am still learning!

 Hannah is 9 year old.

 Annie is finally growing. Her legs are looking so long. No longer a little girl, but a darling young woman. The water was cold and the air was very cool outside. It was May 26 and it was 85 degrees outside. Which is crazy cool weather for AZ in May. We are used to bath water in our lakes. The water was 75 degrees and we all thought it was cold.

Hannah got the Principle Pride award for the whole year. Which is straight A's on every report card for the whole year of 3rd grade! Way to go Hannah!!!!

Mother Day 2016

 It is sure fun to take pictures with each child and see how much they have grown in one year. 

 Hannah is 9 years old and in 3rd grade

 She loves soccer! She tried out for the competitive soccer team for next year. There was 50 girls trying out 14 positions.  She made the team and was so excited!
Hannah also plays the piano really well.
She is a girl that LOVES to be tickled on her arms.
She is a great girl that like to do her best on everything.

 Hannah is my Type 4 daughter

 Annie is 13 years old and in 8th grade. She is my Type 3 daughter!

 She is my party thrower, loves to have her friends over!

She plays the piano very beautiful. She is my energy, happy girl!
Life is fun with Annie around!

She can't wait to start high school next year! Here comes the newest freshman!

 Katie is 22 years old

Been married to best friend for a little over 1 year.

She has 40 piano students and is the beehive advisor in her ward.

They also have a videography business that is so successful because 

they are really talented at it!

 I love having Katie married. Her husband is the best! Everyone loves him.
Katie is my type 2 daughter.
I am that type 1 mother!

 Now to my Son,

who has been on his mission for 10 months

in Indiana Indianpolis!

He is happy and doing wonderful.

Loves being a missionary.

I love to see his testimony growing each week.

I feel his complete dedication to the Lord. He is a valiant disciple of Christ!
Obeying the mission rules with exactness is his goal. He is a goal oriented man!
He is going places in this life, excited to see what he will do!

 Skyping Elder Coon was my highlight on mother day. But having my whole family together was the best. I love my family! Of course, my husband Grant is the best man out there for me. I have loved him for 26 years. WHAT? That is a long time! One thing I have realized as I look at pictures of myself, is that I am a middle aged woman with adult children. Which is crazy!

 Sitting around the desk in the kitchen!

The awesome Helicopter

 Grant and Katie bought a drone for their videography business. We took it the Discovery Park to see how awesome it is. I am here to say it is amazing!

 Look at this beautiful sky and those fluffy white clouds!

 Both Annie and Hannah flew it! Grant is so great to share and treat his new sisters like they are so important. But mostly I like Grant Coon's hat!

Spring MCO Choir performance

 I am wearing all black, which I NEVER do. I was a parent volunteer at the choir so it was required. This was the BEST concert yet!

They performed songs about our Savior.

"How Great thou Art"

"Hosanna, blessed be the name of the Most High  God"

"We've got the whole world in His hand"

"Amazing Grace"

"I walked today where Jesus Walked"

 My favorite girls:

Me, Annie, Katie and Hannah

 The whole gang that came to support  Annie!
