Porter's graduation

Porter graduated from Pre-School on May 24th and Opa, Omi, and his other grandparents were all invited. It was fun seeing all the things the cute little kids had learned during the year which was a lot. I had to put this picture here because it reminds me of Arik. This is probably what Arik looks like when he pulls someone over for speeding. Little Porter is so darling and very animated. What a fun time we had watching him.

This is Porter after graduation. He even got a graduation cap he got to keep. You're a cutie little Porter and congratulations again. We love you!!!

Visiting Graves

Robyn and I went to Jeremy and Tante Dora's graves today and put flowers on their graves for them. Robyn took pictures at Jeremy's grave. Her 3 little ones stood up flower pots that had blown over because it was pretty windy and got worse during the rest of the day.

I picked up Dave after that and Dave and I went to his grandparents, his uncle Paul and his dad's graves in Draper and then to Bob Kaufman's in Sandy. From there we went to Oma and Opa's on 33rd South and 13th East then to Clinton to little Eden Beesley's grave. That's the only one we took a picture of. It was pretty busy at most of the places even being 3 days before Memorial Day. It got cold and rainy so I'm glad we're home. I love all these wonderful people that passed on and I can't help but talk to them, as Dave fastened flower pots to the ground with hangers, and hope they know they are loved and remembered!

Jeremy's Birthday

Today Robyn and I went to Jeremy's grave and took flowers and a balloon along with Jared, Emily and Amberly. Later in the evening Ryan, Erin and Quentin took Dave and I out to dinner and to Jeremy's grave. Looks like Robyn went back and left roses in the vase and of course Ryan put down a guitar pick which is a tradition with him. I love that. Jeremy would be 36 years old today. He is very missed but I have know doubt that he is doing a great work.

When Jeremy had his mind set on something there was no stopping him. He wanted to be a senior in a High School and graduate which he did after going to 7 periods a day plus night school and BYU correspondence. He did it all and graduated with the Class of 1992 from Bingham High School. I remember sitting in the bleachers with Dave with a prayer in my heart the whole time thanking Heavenly Father for helping him with his goal. The following year he passed away. I'm so thankful knowing that we'll be with him again someday, if I pass the test in this school.
