Graduation

We had a great graduation weekend! Steve's mom and dad came and my sister Shannon with her 4 cute little kids came! Good thing too! We had everyone chopping and cooking all morning Friday for the Graduation BBQ! We had lots of friends and family come and help us celebrate this great event! We then headed off to the Graduation ceremony where Lauren was one of 11 kids in her class to graduate with the highest honor - Summa Cum Laude (gold cords) you had to graduate with a grade point average of 3.9 and above! What a smarty pants!!! Then she was off to a All night senior party (which I was in charge of! - glad to have that over with) The kids all had a great time - lots of great prizes were awarded! It was a great weekend to Celebrate such a great kid! Watch out BYU - here she comes! Thanks to everyone who gave such wonderful presents and thoughtful cards!

Seminary Graduation - I believe the quote from Lauren was "This is the greatest day ever!"
(We have early morning seminary)

Way to go Lauren. What a smartee!(sweet and smart) We already knew that, of course. Now you just need to come out to LA to play a little. Shopping, boys, Disney Land, boys, movie premiers in downtown Hollywood, boys, etc. Think about it.
