Skyler's Graduation...

My Son

I wish you...

               the strength to 

face challenges with 

     confidence...

along with the 

                    wisdom to 

choose your 

battles 

                           carefully...

I wish you

           adventure on

your journey and

                          may you always 

stop to help

someone along 

the way...

Listen to 

your heart

and take risks

carefully...

Remember 

                 how much 

you are loved

and we are always

here when you need us...

I am so proud 

                           of you!

We sure love this boy...huhumm, Man.

The graduates, Skyler and Tyler with Desirae and Autumn.

The girls loved this picture. 

The only time in awhile they are loving and happy and in a picture together!

Grandma Sommers made the money lei for Skyler.

Crappy Iphone pictures.

Skyler walking through the M just like his mom did.

Great-Grandma and Grandpa Lamb came. 

As did Grandma Hendrickson and the boys.

We all went to lunch afterwards. 

I am so proud of how hard he has worked and planned his future.

And...

 soooo sad to see him grow up. Where did the time go? Wasn't he just a little tyke yesterday? Running around in his batman pj.s? 

Oh well, he will make one amazing husband and dad one day. 

Hopefully not to soon LOL.

Now off you go to new places you will go.

Oh boy...

 Trying to get a senior picture for Skyler's graduation announcement. Ugh.

 Great, but he wouldn't get shoes on. Grrr. Great smile though.

 Seriously...NOT.

 These are the ones he wanted on the announcments.

 The one we picked.

You silly boy!

Just A Few of Skyler's projects...

I love this dragon box.

Awesome!

I really love the rolling pin too!

Memorial Day Weekend...

What a crazy, fun weekend.

Saturday...

Autumn and I spent Saturday morning going to garage sales and Taisha went up American Fork Canyon to rock climb and Danny and Alisha went rock climbing up Rock Canyon. 

Skyler, McKenna and I hung out at the 4A's house and Autumn and I had a lunch date with Mom. 

Then, the 4a's, Tyler, Skyler, McKenna and Taisha went up to Battle Creek to have a BBQ , walk to the waterfalls and have a fire. It was so relaxing and fun. We even found a cat, a rather strange looking one, laying in the grass ready to pounce on Taisha's dog Sasha. I later called it and it came up to meow, I am sure ir was starving, and rubbing on my back when Sasha decided to take chase. Boy those two run fast. 

Tyler and I tried to find the cat, but had no luck.

Sunday...

We cleaned the house, rather well and then went to a baby blessing at Carolyn's for little Maddox (Hannah and Josh's little guy). We even took the little A's to give Autumn some time to rest due to a bad headache. Skyler and Austin stayed at my house to make a Pokemon Risk board out of wood. 

Monday...

The Sommers Clan met at Bridal Vail Falls to do a Walk to Remember down to the mouth of the canyon. Autumn and I walk together so went together at the same pace, we even jogged and loved it. It was such a great feeling to try and push myself. Running has hurt my chest so it was GREAT to be able to do it. I was so excited and told people I ran, but they just nodded like okay...

They don't know or understand what my limitations have been. It's okay, but kind of sad that they didn't share my joy.

While waiting for everyone, we went to the Snow shack to get an icee and guess who was working??? BRANDON HATCH!!!

McKenna was embarrassed and didn't want us to bug him, but Doug, my sweetest nephew did. LOL

We then napped, I did, and then went to play XBOX Kinect at a big screen gaming place. 

It was soooo fun, but another huge workout. I can say that I had to stop due to absolute fatigue. 

Then we all went to Carolyn's and Stacy made us yummy tacos. We hung out and played, 4 Square, Croquet and had a blast!

I am so amazed at how many tiny babies there are now in the family. Hannah's Maddox, Danielle's Kate, David's Farrah, Doug's Isabel. We were missing Danica and her little Minnie :(. The oldest of them is two months.

BBQ, hiking and a fire...

We went to Battle Creek to enjoy some good food and 

hiking with the 4A's, the kids and my brother Tyler.

 We even brought Sasha.

 She brought her guitar to play by the fire.

 Daddy and Taisha

 So beautiful!
