Busy Weekend ahead of us!!

So, Jesse and I have decided to still go to St. George this weekend after Grandma's Memorial. We will leave after Jesse gets home from work on Saturday, his annoying boss is making them work 5-10 hour days, 8 hours on Saturday and, 6 hours on Sunday. I think they can survive one day without him! The money will be nice, but I never get to see him, and when I do he's asleep! Anyway, Jesse's sister Sadie is getting ready to go back to California and we are going to see her one last time before she goes. Momma said we could stay at her house, while she is here, and she will stay at our house while we are there! Some nice warm weather will be nice too.

I am excited to get to see Rochelle for a little bit, and the rest of her cute family. I am also excited to see other people from Dad's side of the family too. It seems like we only see each other when something bad has happened, we need to change that!! Anyway my life is pretty boring so that's about all I have for right now!

Rae's Big Day!

So today was the day of Rae's Assembly, I told her I had a Dr. appointment and that's why the kids were going to Anngee's ( thanks Anngee!!). I arrived at the school early so I could get a good spot, that girl is just to observant, she spotted me the second she walked in the door! She didn't know what was going on though, she just looked at me with a puzzled expression. She received a Certificate and a note form her teacher explaining why she deserved the award. She also got a pencil, water bottle, and a gift card to Del Taco!

We are so very proud of our little Rae, she has become such an extraordinary young women and I'm sure she will continue to astound us though the years!

Amazed By You!!!

This is from a couple of years ago, Rae was awarded this certificate. We were very proud of her, she has done something Jesse and I never did in school. Rae is so smart it amazes me!! Reading has always come to her with no problems along with many other subjects.

On Saturday we received a paper in the mail informing us that Rae would have an assembly held in her Honor! She will be receiving the Oquirrh Pride Award for Outstanding Achievements and Exemplary Skills and Behavior in the Classroom.

She will be receiving this award on Friday the 20th, it is suppose to be a surprise for her, she has no clue she will be receiving this!! I am going and will be hiding in the back so she doesn't see me, I will be video taping it and taking pics. I doubt any of you will see her before then, but if you do don't say anything!!

Jesse and I both cried when we read the paper, she is such an amazing girl, she has the biggest heart of anyone I know. I am so honored to have been given the chance to have her in my life!!

I will post again afterwords and put up the video and pics from the Assembly!!

Rae's fun in St. George!

Rae has been spending the last 2 weeks in St. George with her other Mom Della. They went Quading and Rae had so much fun, she got to ride a small one by herself and a big one with Bill (step dad).

Here she is all by herself!!


This is her with Bill!



Bill and her again!



This is Rae and her cousin Kaden, he also went quading with them!



Aside from that they went rock climbing, she got all the way to the top too. She is so afraid of heights I was shocked that she made it all the way!!

Here she is getting all the gear on to head up the rock.



On her way up the rock, lookin good!



Almost to the top, she did such a good job!!



On her way down, she said that was the funnest part!



We are so happy to have her home now. She was greatly missed!! Hopefully when we get our home sold and we move to Nevada we won't have to do the gone for 2 weeks at a time thing!
