the GRADUATE

This week was filled with so many exciting things in honor of Jensen graduating from high school.
I was so impressed with the note Jensen got in the mail from the superintendent who sent her a handwritten note congratulating her.  She was 1 of 278 graduates.  He is such an impressive man.


My mom hosted a graduation party for Jen on Memorial day.  We had her favorite meal of spaghetti and lasagna .  I had Britt Whitney make this cute cake for dessert.  Britt is a fifteen year old girl in my ward.  This is the second cake I have had her make for us.  She did a spectacular job!

One of the gifts Jensen received was this beautiful BYU quilt from Sharon and Greg.  It is such a beautiful quilt!  It took so much time to make.  She will love it in her dorm room.
Jensen also got several generous gifts from her grandparents and Lindsey and Kyle.  Grandpa Stevens has ordered her a laptop and he is getting it prepped for her to take in September.  This girl is going to be set!






Love this gal so much and we are so excited for her to embark upon this next exciting chapter.  She is so ready!  We know she is going to learn so much and make so many friends at BYUI.

Surprise McKinley!

Image
A week ago, McKinley's best friend, Caty, texted me and asked if she could throw McKinley a surprise birthday party on her birthday.  The girls had been challenged by their Young Women leaders to do a 10 hour project for Individual Worth and she thought it would make a great project to plan a fun party for her! She invited 14 fun friends to join in on the surprise. I wish I would have taken the time to take a picture of the cute chocolate fountain and home made cupcakes she made.  She had blown up about 20 balloons and when McKinley walked in to the house they jumped out and showered her with shredded paper. Then they went swimming.  Yes, in November and NO, they had not heated the pool. kiki and  Lexie   with Emily  and Molly  and Mallory  and Kylie H.  and Kaly   the Lloyd twins and Abbey  Megan  Kaylie W.  Michaela  and Kylie P who had celebrated her birthday with a party the night before.

Builders vs. Wreckers

Image
A little poem I heard from John Bytheway on a BYU fireside (on BYUTV) today. Makes me stop and go "hmmmmm....." I might have another resolution to add to my growing list..... Builders vs. Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town And saw men tearing a building down. With a ho-heave-ho and a husky yell They swung at a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled- The kind you’d hire if you had to build?” “Oh no!” he chuckled, “No indeed- The common laborer is all I need.” “Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do.” I thought to myself as I went on my way “Which of these rolls have I tried to play? Am I the builder who works with care Strengthening lives by rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well made plan- Helping them do the best they can- Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?” -Author Unknown
