Congrats Brian, Adios Brett and Chelsea, and Marijka Rocks!

Congratulations to my big brother Brian! He graduated yesterday from the University of Utah with dual Master Degrees in Business Administration and Healthcare Administration. (Let's just say he got all the brains in the family and the rest of us just had to split what was left over!) We attended the ceremony and then celebrated with a party at "Brain" and Sher's house. It was so much fun and we are so proud of him!

My baby brother Brett and his wife Chelsea left today for Alaska. They are going to be spending the summer working in Juneau. Brett is going to be driving a tour bus and I so wish I could see it! Chelsea has promised us some video footage of our favorite bus driver and I am anxiously awaiting it! The kids love Brett and Chelsea and we are all going to miss them so much, but are so excited for them and their Alaskan Adventures! Good luck!!!

Tonight I had the great privilege of attending South Cache's production of "Into the Woods." My cousin Marijka ran the spotlight and did a spectacular job! Usually at plays the person running the spotlight messes up at least once and misses something or shines the spotlight in the wrong spot at the wrong time or something, but not Marijka! She was absolutely flawless and her Drama teacher even told her what a great job she had done! We are so proud of her!

What a crazy, but fun weekend! I am glad to know that we can load the kids up and go places together- even if it kills us in the process!

Hi NAtalie! I saw your baby boys announcement and he is so cute! Congratulations. I am sure you are loving being a mom. Hopefully he is starting to sleep a little more. The first month or two is rough! Anyway I remembered being out in the hot tub with you and jan too, and it seems like that was only a couple months ago, so time is flying by. I am just glad to have one year out of the way. Good luck and congrats! love Kim

We're so happy for Brian, the professional student (I really didn't know that he was STILL in school :) Just kidding! That is great. So exciting about Brett and Chelsea. They will have a great time in Alaska I'm sure. You have such a cute little guy. Can't wait to meet him in a couple of months.
