Wow! Been Way to long!

So I know that I've been away for a long time. Truth is I've been too busy facebooking, reading, and being lazy. Not a whole lot has been going on here. We had Christmas it was nice went down to my mom's house went sledding. Sledding, now that was fun. I hurt myself more than once but that's what it's all about right? Then came New Years, went down to Guy's parents house. Played some fun games, went sledding again! Hurt myself some more. Decided I'm too old for sledding.

Then came the January blahs! Had some tough weeks. In November my Grandpa Bown passed away, he'd been sick for a long time so it was a blessing for him to not be in pain anymore, but still sad to see him go. His funeral was the Saturday after Thanksgiving. My brother was able to come home for the funeral, and was actually the one that presented my uncle with the flag from my Grandpa's coffin. Then in January my Grandma Lewis passed away, she too had been sick for a long time. Both will be missed by everyone who knew them.

January 27th brought around Guy's birthday. I took him out to dinner while Ashley watched the boys for us. She sure is a sweet heart sometimes. He was somewhat disappointed as we hadn't baked a cake for his birthday. But I knew a secret, Megan was coming home for the weekend and had called and told me she wanted to make a cake and bring it up. I figured that two cakes was too many. So we had cake and ice cream with her over the weekend. Ashley went to a school dance that weekend. She looked very pretty. It's hard to believe that she is 16 and old enough to date.

Now around to February. Still nothing to exciting. We made a snowman last weekend. Megan came up again, which was wonderful. She gave us a wonderful valentines day gift of a gift card to Texas Roadhouse, and two movie tickets so that we could go on a date. She then said we were to go and she was watching the boys for us. She took them to get pizza and to get some popcorn at the store. Then brought them home and gave them a bath and watched a movie with them. The next day we played some games as a family and had a wonderful time.

Well that brings us up to this weekend and that shall be saved for another post all to itself.

I'll try and post a photo slide of the last three months soon as Guy gets home with his computer and the photos!

High School Graduate

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO MEGAN!!!!!

Megan graduated from Grantsville High School on May 29th as one of the two Valedictorians. Our Megan is such a smart girl! As Valedictorian, she got to give a speech at graduation, hers was great. (I have it on video, as soon as I figure out how to download it I'll post it.) The graduation itself was good, it wasn't too long so we didn't all get bored. ;) Megan had lots of family there to support her. Before the graduation we took Megan out to eat, she picked the Spaghetti Factory. We had lots of fun there teasing each other.

Megan is going to go to UVU (Utah Valley University) in the fall, where she has received a full-ride scholarship. She also received a scholarship for $3,500 from my work. There were 96 applicants for this scholarship and 6 recipients.

If it sounds like I'm bragging on her it's because I am. We are soo very proud of Megan and all that she has accomplished. She is a very self-motivated, dedicated girl. We never had to remind Megan to do her homework, or bribe her to get good grades. It was just something that she did for herself. Megan graduated having only received one B in her entire High School career (and we don't want to talk about the stupid teacher who gave her a B).

GREAT JOB MEGZ!
