21

In a few hours from this precise moment,

Emily Maude will be exactly 21 years old.

I can hardly believe it was that long ago that 

we welcomed this beautiful daughter into the world!

As her dad likes to explain, we (her parents) just try and

stay out of her way. She is an exemplary example to all of us.

Sadly, I rarely get to take any photos of her because she is almost

always the one behind the camera lens.

Thus, I recommend going to Emily's blog...

Happy 21st Birthday Emily!
We love you! xoxo

Timpview High School Graduation

The Timpview High School Class of 2013

graduated May 29th at 7:00 p.m.

at Utah Valley University's

UCCU Center

What a special evening and definitely bittersweet for the parents.

I'm so proud of these two and all their hard work and accomplishments.

With all the jubilation of graduation though, a sinking sadness that they'll

be flying the nest in August to go to the University of Utah sits in my stomach.

Crazy how time seems to move more rapidly these days...

My now THREE college students

My favorite part of the night was when Hannah and Hilary walked out together, arm in arm, waving and smiling ear to ear. I didn't know they were going to be presented that way, but it just seemed natural--they have been through thick and thin together from the beginning.

The day was made even more special and memorable having both sets of grandparents attend:

Grandpa and Grandma Clark from Arizona and Grandpa and Grandma Snow.

I cannot quite put into words how much I love these beautiful girls of mine.

I am in awe daily that I get to be their mother. I am truly blessed!

Congratulations Hannah and Hilary!
