School's Out

On April 29, 2016, Paige graduated from UVU!

Yay!

And these supportive people came

Mark, Courtney, Me, Mom, Tiffany, Linda and Mark

(who is taking the picture).

Here is a grainy picture of her receiving her diploma

(well the folder anyway).

Our sweet friend and neighbor

Amy brought some of her delicious cupcakes

over for the celebration.

 The graduate 

The graduate and sissy

 The fam

  The Hamiltons 

 More of Paige 

 because she is beautiful  

 and deserves recognition for all her hard work.

 Graduations are exhausting!

 We had cookies and milk as treats for

the dance party.

 Because dancing is what you do when you accomplish a lifelong goal!

We are so proud of Paige

and of Courtney

who is also a college graduate

but I was probably not blogging then!

Time Flies

 So basically summer came and went

since my last post.

I will hit on the highlights with

favorite summer pictures!

Taylorsville Dayzz

(Jordan, Paige, Courtney) 

 canyon cookouts

 

hikes

 I finally decided on how to arrange the new front patio

and bought cushions. And we love it. 

 Antelope Island Moonlight ride

 the Fourth of July

 

fireworks with the neighbors 

 outdoor movies

We decided to make a quick trip to Disneyland

during one of our St. George visits.

 Which we love

 even in the rain.

 Mark and I spent our honeymoon in Disneyland

on the 30th Anniversary and so we needed

to go again on their 60th Anniversary!

 Cute people

waiting for the new main street electrical parade.

We love Disneyland!

 Courtney's birthday dinner at Aristos (her favorite).

The birthday girl's pie.

Paige started 8th grade again

 this time as the teacher!

 And she bought a new car.

 Then football season started!

 And we went on another trip to St. George

only this time without Miss Paige.

 

Snow Canyon

 

Then some more football.

 Where Courtney entered with the team.

 Then we went on a one day trip to St. George.

 To see this cute family and join in the blessing of Brooklyn. 

 

 We went on a drive to see the leaves.

 Mirror Lake.

The dark and the light.

 And here is an end of summer picture of the family.

Goodbye summer.

We will miss you but we also love Fall!

And taking selfies.

Miss Paige turns 23

From this babe

 to this babe

in 23 short, wonderful years!

Happy Birthday and I love you!!!
