After 8 years, I hung up my name tag and moved on to Copper Hills High School!

I was very sad to leave all my little friends, and my Westvale family. I have met some of the most wonderful teachers, parents, grandparents, students,volunteers, peers and co-workers! I will miss you all! But it was best for my family at home.

And in the long run, that is what it's all about!

Thank you for the great going away party and for all the best wishes! The gifts were wonderful, and cake is always good! No matter what the occasion! XOXO

I KNOW, I KNOW!

Yes, I have been neglecting my blog! But after 8 days in Hawaii, what else is there!

Well, I found some great things to write about!

Cameron & Tyler

Cameron is going to UVU, formally UVSC. He is studying to be a wilderness fireman. He lives at home and drives his "POS", BMW to Orem for his classes. It breaks down so ofter, he carries a spare battery so he can make it home! Why is it boys would rather drive a crappy BMW than a nice, newer, let's say 4 door Toyota? If anyone can explain this to me, please post it as a comment! However, we are still very proud of him! He is working his butt off, literally!

Tyler completed his treatment at Artec South. On February 3rd, the judge terminated JJS' custody and placed Tyler back with us! We are so excited to have him home. He was in Juvenile Justice Services custody for 9 months. It was difficult for us to have him gone. We celebrated by going to the Jazz vs. Celtics game. He cheered for Boston, I however cheered for the Jazz. In case anyone missed it, the Jazz WON by 5!

My daughter is 19!

Wow time flies! I can't believe Courtney is 19. I remember driving to the hospital in the early a.m. hours, through the snow covered streets of Las Vegas, where our only baby girl was born.

It has been such a wonderful experience being the mother of this lovely young lady.(I use this word loosely because she burps louder than any of her brothers!) She is in her 2nd semester of college and working at Forever 21! She is learning to be financially responsible. Instead of asking her parents for money, Courtney and her boyfriend donated plasma! Her arms were so bruised, they took 2 weeks to heal!

And a baby makes 3!

Brady & Magen are expecting a baby boy on May 12th!

I think everyone is excited to have a new baby in the family!

The last baby that was born is now 5!
