Magna Cum Laude

We are so proud of Laurie , she graduated from Utah State University, Magna Cum Laude! I have decided she is a December Girl, ( She chose December for her wedding day also)! We woke up Saturday morning to pick-up Laurie and Colby to head over Logan Canyon in 5 inches of new snow, and a total white out! It was slippery, and slow going, but we made it in time for Laurie to Walk in the graduation procession! She has worked so hard for this minute, I didn't want her to miss it! Larie has grown into such an amazing girl! Lots of hard work! Late nights studying, the last semester, driving over Logan Canyon weekly. But, She did it! And has a job!

Colby and Laurie at the Luncheon, honoring the graduates!

Colby found Laurie at Utah State. She has been a huge blessing in his Life in so many ways!


120th Graduation Commencement for Utah State!

Magna Cum Laude! Colby does tease her because she gets such good grades, but we know he couldn't be prouder of Laurie! Congratulations! We are so glad we could share this day with you!

Holiday Magic

Amber , Nate, Natalee and Noah came with us this year in the search for the perfect christmas tree! We found it!! Nate had it all strapped in the back of the truck before I got pictures! This beautiful tree is in Ambers home, so check out her blog, I am sure she will post pictures of it soon! We had such a fun time finding trees. Jordon ,Ashlee, Max and Hudson, came along also!

And talk about cute kids! They really love each other, and they were all in search of the perfect Christmas tree of their own! And they found them! Natalee dragging her tree and Noahs to the truck!

Natalee and Max, cute cousins! They were so excited to find a tree! Max brought his Superchain saw! (It was Plastic) It didnt crush his spirits when it wouldnt cut down his tree! He just recruited his dad!


More Holiday Magic! Look how much it cost me to fill up my Expedition! I just saved $50!

I shot this a few days ago, and since then it has dropped to $133 per gallon! I dont know how long this will last, but I am loving it for the minute! And just think of the money saved, to spend on Holiday surprises! On the news last night it was quoting the lowest gas prices, it said the cheapest one they could find was in Missouri for $151 per gallon ! Ha Ha they dont know about Wyo. Maverik gas!
