Celebrate

Going out to celebrate!!!
Nothing like home made root beer....or should I say restaurant made root beer.

This is our lovely private room....we played musical tables that evening. We started out in another area but then the guy making balloon animals came in and Mom had to leave because of her being anaphlactic to latex. It all worked out in the end because we got this nice big room to ourselves and we could shut the door!

Miss Talbie......the Queen of babysitting! Charlie had the best time being able to be with his cousin Talbie. Thank you so much Talbie you are an amazing babysitter!

This is my uncle David "aka" Dave......so this would be Charlie's Great Uncle. This kid loves Dave!

Nice face

having a good time! Charlie is a bit of a dare devil......

University of Utah



Her is a huge tribute to my Mother! I think she is the most amazing women in the world! I am so proud of her I could pop. She has been accepted into the Doctorate of Nursing Program at the University of Utah Medical School! She will soon have her Doctorate and be Dr. Sandra Knolwes! 10 years of school under her belt.
She went through a very rigorous application process and submitted her application in January of this year. She was told that if she was considered for acceptance to the competitive program she would have an interview. Two weeks ago she had the interview and they told her that if she was accepted she would hear at the end of May. She received an acceptance letter two days ago! She will start school in August!
Mom you are so incredible and such an example to me. What can a say, you ROCK!!!!!!

Oh my is it really April or December?

Beautiful.....please melt away quick. I hope my flowers survive this!
