Mothers Weekend at BYU idaho

I was able to go up to BYU Idaho for Mothers weekend.
I left home on Thursday May 28th and flew up
to Salt Lake City and Rented a car. I was able to visit
my good friend Tami. I stayed the night with her.
It was such a great visit. Then on Friday morning
I left and drove to Rexburg, Idaho. I arrived in
time to go to Becca's Dance class. They happen to
be doing Yoga that day. It was so fun to
participate. Later that day we were able to
go to her Orchestra class. In the evening we drove
to Idaho Falls and had dinner at Garcia's.
It was so good, and nice to visit with my
Becca. I so enjoyed meeting all her friends and
Roommates. They are such wonderful people.
Becca is so blessed to have such great friends.

On Friday we also went to Physical Therapy. Becca
Hurt her ankle in January and is working
to get it back to 100%

We went to the mall and had a blast shopping
and having fun.

Saturday night we went to see William Joseph.
It was a very good show. Enjoyed it so much

This was the Violinist who played with William. She was
outstanding. It was great that Becca got to meet her.

On Sunday I was able to got to church with
Becca. She is such a great daughter. This
is the Corsage she got for me. It is so beautiful.

This is one of Becca's Roommates Lindsay. She is so
sweet. I was so glad I got to get to know her.

This is some of Becca's friends and Eryn her roommate.

OK so we were outside taking pictures because
I kept forgetting to take pictures. so these boys
walk by and Becca gets them to take a
picture with them.

I loved this picture of Eryn and Becca

to take a picture with them.

These boys were out Home teaching. Once again
we had to get a picture of them.

Becca had to get into the photo.

The girls made dinner Sunday night. It was such
fun to have dinner with them. In the picture is

name, and I think Rachel.

Rexburg Temple, It is so Beautiful. It sits on a hill
and you can see it as you come into the city. It
is so beautiful at night too.

So this is my trip. The other activity we did was
stadium singing. this is where kids meed under the
bleachers at the stadium and sing hymns on Sunday night
for a half hour. Wow, that was so neat. Becca
is in the place she needs to be. It was such a great
weekend. I felt such a great spirit of peace of love.
I think a weekend is not enough, I look forward to
mothers WEEK. Then I will take Grandma with me.
Thanks Becca for such a great weekend. I love you!

Thanks Tami and Brittany

Last Thursday, May 28th, I left home for my big
adventure. I went to see my dear friend Tami and her
daughter Brittany, they lives in Draper Utah.
It was so great to visit with them again. Tami took
me to this great place where there were cute
shops and a restraunt in this old mill. It was very
beautiful there, and the shops were so fun.
It was so nice to have such great friends.
I am very blessed. Now Tami you need to come
visit me!!

Jessica's Viola Recital

On Friday May 22, Jessica had her end of the year
Viola Recital. She played so good. I have included the
video of her song. She is doing so good on her Viola.

Play Ball!

I was very so lucky to be able to help Teresa this
season with games. I got to take my turn taking
kids to their games and watching. It was so much
fun. I got to watch Starr's Games, Emi's Games,
and Jeff's Games. Sorry Joseph Auntie did not
get to any of yours. They are all very good and
It was so much fun to share this with each of them.
It was fun to watch Steve Hartman Coach for
Emi's Team. Great job Steve. I hope I can do
this again next year.

Jeff had a great hit in this game! good job Jeff

Jessica's May Orchestra Concert 2009

This was the last concert of the year. Jessica is playing
the viola. She did a great job this year. It was so
nice to be able to see her when she played. Being a
viola, sometimes I do not get to see her during
concerts. The chamber Orchestra played
two pieces. It was great!

Jessica happy that it is over!

Sisters

Becca has asked me to find some sister pictures for her
school project. It was really fun for me to go through
all the old pictures of the girls. They are such beautiful
girls then and now. I feel very blessed as a mom
to have such great kids.

Looking back it made me realize that we really did
do a lot of fun thing together. All the trips, Holidays,
activities, were such great memories. I think
now I get to go back and relive those old memories.
Is that what getting old is all about. your kids leave
and all you are left with are memories. and
the memories that are to be made in the future?
as you can see this experience has really made me
reflect. I wanted to share some of my favorite
photos from my searching. Enjoy

Cathy Roe Dance Competition

On saturday May 3rd, Desert Star Dance went
to the Cathy Roe Dance Competition.
Our studio did great! Jessica and her
Danceline girls did great also. They won
a High Gold for their dance. It is always
fun to see all the dances and watch
Jessica dance.

Jessica did a great job!

Eating at LJ's Pizza

On Friday April 17th, we went to LJ's Pizza for some
food and fun. On Fridays the Nostalgics a Harmonica
Trio and a drummer play. It is so much fun to listen
to them. They also have kids come up and play with
them. Of course the girls have to go up and play with
them. They are so much fun to watch, the girls too.
It has been fun having Becca home for the past week.
We are going to miss her.

Trip to Orem

Becca's Birthday Weekend

On Thursday April 1, I drove from Gilbert to Orem Utah
to be with Becca for her birthday weekend. It is a 101/2 hour
drive. It was a very nice drive. I listened to a book on tape
which made the trip go very fast. I was also very excited to
see Becca after 3 months. Its hard for a mom to be away
from her daughter for so long.

One of my stops by Glen Canyon Dam

Becca had an audition with Disney on Friday Morning.
She did great!

Becca's Birthday lunch at the old Spaghetti Factory

As you know all good things come to an end. Becca had to leave to
go back to Rexburg. She boarded the Salt Lake Express and headed
home. We look forward to seeing her next week for Easter.

the Canal and back. It was so fun to watch and cheer for
them. Good job!!
