I am taking over the blog.

One of the perks of starting your mother's blogs is that you have the passwords to get in and post something for her on mother's day. Mom I love you. I would not be who I am without you. You helped me grow, learn, achieve goals, and make the decisions that have lead to so many blessings. Your willingness to make the right decisions in your life will forever bless me and my posterity. You are one of my heros. I gave a talk in church today about "our sacred duty to honor our mothers." I talked about the characteristics of a mother. Then I talked about Christ showing those same characteristics. Then I talked about honoring our mothers by following our savior. I hope you know that my faith has been built by you. I will follow my savior for you. I am excited to spend all eternity with you. I know what a blessing it is to have you as a mother. Thank you.

Cole Wins Election!!!!

Friday, May 16,2008
HOT OFF THE JOHNSON MIDDLE SCHOOL PRESS
The new 2009 secretary of the student council is our own, cutie patootie Colby!
His speech was noted by his fellow students as "saying nothing about what he'll do for the school", but he prides himself as not having fibbed as the other candidates did who 'claimed to be able to make big changes in dress code' , as he knew that decision was out of his 'note taking ' hands.... His speech was written with the help of Jen White, (it's said that her college degree really came in handy) Handouts were created by his mom, Diane, along with his campaign worker Jen. The poster slogan, "Cole White is the "WRITE" man 4 Secretary" seems to have said it all. Cole will represent the male portion of the school as he serves. Other winners (and runners!) were ALL female!! Maybe he should now be the editor of the school newsletter, since it seems he will have the inside scoop on all current events!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After his hard working week of campaigning, his was priveledged to take a retreat in Mesquite, Neveada at the father/son overnighter, then on to St. George to play video games on his (half owned ) Playstation, located at Mike & Bridget's abode.. I'm sure he will also enjoy a complimentary meal at the Golden Coral, since his family enjoys it each time they visit beautiful St. G.

I love these kids!

This picture was taken at my birthday party. We have a tradition that we go get Build-a-Bears at Christmas so we decided to have a bear birthday. I love to be surrounded by all of my 7 grand kids. (McKay was not to interested in being in the picture, Sorry.)

Together Forever

Mike and Bridgett were married on Mrch 15th, in the St George Temple. It was a beautiful day, and it was great to see all the family and freinds there to support them on their special day!

Just Married!
Our dance!
All the Grandkids on the steps.

"We love to see the temple, we're going there someday!!!"
