6th GRADE GRADUATION

disclaimer: Morgan took the pictures today and I forgot to set "auto"

Ryanne graduated from Highland Elementary School today. This event is definitely met with mixed emotions.....

Pride:

Ryanne is smart, motivated, beautiful(on the inside and out), friendly, caring, tender, kind, and compassionate. Every single day she does something that makes me proud to be her mother. I know she will meet this new chapter with grace and a sense of humor.

Love:

I love Ryanne. I love that she is excited for Junior High. I love that she is a happy beautiful girl.

Sadness:

I am sad that Ryanne is becoming a young womman. Not because I am afraid of what she will do, but because she has been such a wonderful little girl.

Joy: It makes me so happy that Ryanne is happy!!!!

Happy Graduation Ryanne!!

We love you!!

(Jaxson attended the ceremony. He left before I could catch him for pictures!!)

Jaxson is.....

I can't even bring myself to say....

"18 years old today!!!!"

Happy Birthday to my favorite son!

Today I am wishing....

I had read more stories....

I had said I love you more often....

I had put down whatever I was doing that seemed so important...

I had played more games...

I had been a better listener....

I had held him a little tighter...

Snuggled him a little longer...

Told him how proud I was of him a little more often....

Given him way more hugs...

Enjoyed every moment I HAVE had with him...

Loved him more unconditionally....

Taught him more of lifes important lessons....

Today I am grateful that Jaxson is...

MY SON!!!!

I LOVE HIM WITH ALL MY HEART AND COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD OF THE MAN HE HAS BECOME!!!

Seminary Graduation

Denial about my son turning 18 and graduating from high school, added to my being 23 weeks pregnant and still sick equals my not facing anything in a timely manor. I have decided to blog when I can and not even think about catching up. 

Jaxson graduated from Seminary two Sundays ago.

We are so proud him. Jaxson accomplished something that I never was able to do.

I am always amazed at the great people my children are. 

Thanks Bill and Joy for coming and supporting Jaxson. Especially since Tim was out of town.

I just love this guy!!!
