Congratulations Lynzi for making yearbook staff. Here are a few pictures of her portfolio.

Awards Assembly

This year at Weber Allyson was awarded with the Ralph Price Award. One senior girl and one senior boy get the award it is quite an honor.
Karlee also got some awards for running.
Good job girls!

Graduation

Allyson graduated from Weber High. It was so weird to think that she is finished with high school. She had a great day. She got pulled over by a police woman for rolling through a stop sign on her way to graduation practice. She was lucky to get away with just a warning. She sang at graduation with the choir and sounded so good. After graduation we went to the Ritchie's house and had a dinner. She then went to Toad's for an all night party and stayed up to hike the Ben Lomond trail to see the sunrise.
She is moving on to the next stage in life and is very excited to be headed to college.
CONGRATULATIONS ALLY!

Seminary Graduation

Allyson graduated from seminary this year and she was asked to speak for seminary graduation. I could only pin her down to get pictures with the guys. Thanks for being a great girl Ally!

Happy Birthday Dustin

Dustin is such a blessing in my life. This year he turned 12 and got the Priesthood. I can't believe how fast he is growing up. Dustin is full of personality and he is truly a good boy. I am very blessed to have him as a son!
Happy Birthday Big D.

Happy Birthday Dustin

Dustin just turned 12!!! WOW I can't believe that he is all ready 12 and in the young men program at church. We went to St. George and watched Brian Regan for his birthday. Brian Regan was hilarious and we had a great time.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUSTIN.

State Track

This week we had state track at BYU. Allyson and Karlee both ran in the 1 mile and the 2 mile race and Karlee ran in the 4X4.
Allyson had a very disappointing time at state and is very sad about what took place there. We have had many talks about her new opportunities for running with UVU. I hope that she can get the confidence that she needs to run as good as she can.
Karlee had a great two days and took fifth place in both the mile and the two mile. Her 4X4 team took 2nd at state and they were so exciting to watch.
They both had senior cotillion that night and since I wasn't home I didn't get pictures of them. I will have to get copies of their pictures when they get them. They both had a great time!

Snowcrest Ragnar

This year was the 2nd mini Ragnar race at Snowcrest. Dustin got a team of his buddies together and they took first for their age group.
Lynzi ran with Bailey and Brian and they took 2nd for the 3 man team and Allyson ran with a group of friends and they took first overall. This is a silly race but one that they look forward to always.

Auxiliary Training Meeting

This past week has been incredibly busy for me. I was in charge of teacher appreciation for both Snowcrest and Valley. I had to do a presentation for Auxiliary training meeting. I through a camp kick off meeting. I worked on Tuesday. We had region track on Wednesday and Thursday.
I have never gone into a presentation for Auxiliary Training so totally unprepared. As I was sitting in the temple on Thursday my heart was going 144 beats a minute and I felt chest pain. I think I was having a panic attack!!!! I went to the track meet and got to the meeting right at 7:00 when it started. I got into the room and the one part of the presentation that I did have prepared was a DVD of some girls in our stake. Well, the DVD player would not work and they had been working on it for a half hour. The panic really started to set in then. I told Anne and Willow that we had to say a prayer so we went into the other room and prayed while Dave Saunders continued to work on the DVD player. Literally as we walked out of the room after saying the prayer he got it to work.
Part of my presentation was that the Lord is in the details of this amazing work. I just have to say that I know that to be true! I will never forget the peaceful feeling that came and I do know that He cares about what happens to little old Mitzi. I am so thankful to know that.

Region Track

We had region track last week and YEAH!!! Allyson and Karlee both qualified for state in the mile and the two mile. Karlee also qualified in the 4X4, so we will be headed to state this week.
On Thursday, Paige had surgery and so all the girls were running for Paige. I sure hope that this surgery will do the trick for Paige. She has the biggest heart and desire to run and I want her to be able to. Paige we're praying for you and hope all goes well!

Allyson Graduation

Well it is getting close to graduation time. Thanks to my two talented nieces Ally's graduation announcement turned out great! Thanks so much Meagan and Ann!!!
Congratulations Allyson you have done a great job with school and we are so proud of you!

Aus' Funeral

My Dad's cousin and friend Aus passed away this week. The kids asked Dad to drive his coffin to the graveyard. Dad had a bit of a rodeo with the horses (and the casket wasn't even tied down). It is a good thing that he is good with horses and they did arrive without a huge wreck. My Dad is a really good guy.

Dustin the Horseman

Dustin's horse, Kanga had another colt. This makes 4 horses for him. This summer Dustin is going to work with Kanga and be able to ride her on his own.
