Amy's Senior Pics!!

How is my sweet Amy a super Senior!!  I feel like Sarah was just a senior and we just sent her off to college and here I have another senior!!  How is that possible???  Amy was just going off to preschool and racing down the street on barnstead drive and crashing her bike like a wild woman!!  Amy always ran a million miles an hour, just fearless, talking a mile a minute!!  So much energy, exxcitement and joy surrounds this wonderful precious child of ours!!  She has blessed our home so much with her passion for life and truly everything she is involved in.  She has filled our home with beautiful singing at all times (especially when she is in the shower, long showers!!)  and much laughter and joy!!  She has such a strong testimony of the Gospel and what is right and will stick to her standards no matter how difficult it is.  I have never once had to worry about the choices that Amy is making, what a wonderful blessing that is.  Amy is a beautiful young woman on the outside and the inside.  I am so lucky to be her Mom and I learn so much from her every single day!!  I love you so much sweet Amy!!!  Happy Senior year, enjoy every moment!!

Halloween Dance!!

Amy and Jenn had so much fun at the Stake Halloween dance this past weekend!!  I am so glad that they have such a great group of friends that they have so much fun with.  It was quite stressful coming up with costumes for them to wear.  Jenn and Caroline really wanted to wear footy P.j's (not sure why, but they looked cute!! )  Amy's ideas were very interesting!!  One if her ideas was to put a treble clef on her shirt  and she would be here comes "Treble" I tried to gently tell her that that was not a halloween costume.  She thought that people would know that she was trying to be Cam from Modern Family (uh, NO!!)  She had a couple of other classic ideas as well, such a funny girl!! 

Honor's Choir Audition

 

Amy and a group of kids from choir went to Farmville Virginia on Saturday to audition for Honor's Choir.  It was a very hard audition, especially the sight singing and they all had worked very hard preparing for it.  Only one of them (the boy who went) made it, but Amy and her friend Megan missed it by one point!!  So hard to be so close!!  They did amazing!!  There were more kids that auditioned this year than ever before.  We are so proud of Amy and all of the great kids in choir!!  Tom drove them down and had a great time with them. 

Random fun photos!!

Here are some random fun photos I swiped from the girls friends facebook page!!  I love pictures of them with their friends just being themselves and happy!!  It warms my heart when they can be themselves and be truly happy!!

Move in Day for Sarah/ Day with Friends for Amy!!

Friday was a full day for our last day in Utah.  It was our day to move Sarah into her apartment in Provo and Amy was off at a sleepover with her friend Rachel and they were meeting up with their buddies Diana and Ashley for the day.  We started by meeting Colleen for breakfast on our way down to Provo and had a great time catching up with her to start off our busy day.  Sarah's apartment is so cute and her roommates our darling!!  We got her moved in pretty quickly but we did have a few trips to stores to make to get her all settled so it took a lot longer than we thought.  We got her fridge and freezer full of food and got her apartment set up with wireless computer and got a floor fan set up for her bedroom.  Then we took her out for a lunch at Brick Oven, a Provo favorite, before saying goodbye to our sweet Sarah until Christmas.  We headed to get Amy from her friends and then went to pick up Taty who is living in Utah for senior year and on to a family dinner.  It was SO fun to spend time with Taty and great to see all the relatives.  We took Taty out for frozen yogurt after dinner to catch up with her some more before getting to bed early for our 5 in the morning departure!!  Very sad to leave Utah!!
