YES, WE REALLY DO HAVE EIGHT!

YES, We Really Do Have Eight!

I love babies. When my babies hit their first birthday, I long once again for that tiny helpless little person that smells like baby powder and doesn't squirm away when you're staring at his beautiful little face. Now don't get me wrong. I love the other stages too. I laugh out loud when I hear the jibber jabber of his first words (Jackson). I giggle when I see one dance hysterically when she hears a Justin Bieber song (Bekkah). I beam with pride when she puts gospel principals into action as she prepares for her upcomming baptism (Emily). I am amazed over and over as he accepts and conquers challenges far beyond his years (Ammon). I burst with pride as I watch his determination and drive in all that he sets his mind to (Zane). I melt when I see the empathy, and concern she has for others (Mckenzie). I have to catch my breath when I see him snuggle with his baby brother (Zachary). I am amazed as I read his letters from his mission (Tres). I guess I just love it all. And this is why I have, despite my horrible pregnancies, we have eight beautiful, talented, amazing, wonderful children!

Our Graduate


What a day! Tres graduated on Friday. It was supposed to be held on the football field, but in the event of rain each student was given two tickets for loved ones to attend the graduation in the auditorium. Well 7pm rolled around and it was raining pretty hard. So we left all the kids and the preparations for the party with grammy and papa while we set out for the auditorium. We arrived to find the football stadium filled with graduates, families, and a lot of water! We sat on the crowded wet bleachers for three hours in the pouring rain, but as I heard them read off my first born son's name, I was filled with pride. I thought about some of the experiences he had as a student. The wonderful elementary years in a Montessori program, the very scary years at a public Jr High, and the challenging academics of High School. I am so grateful for the teachers and students who were there for him, celebrating his accomplishments and consoling him in his trials. Thank you to all of our family who came to celebrate with us! Congratulations Tres you're the best!!

Congratulations to Tres. I just can't believe he is that old already. Though I know how fast the time goes by. Your mom gave me the link to your blog and I have really enjoyed looking at it. Ours is ronandkarensnow.blogspot.com but I don't put things on it too much.
