Happy Birthday Kelsey Donnette!! Today Kelsey turns 18!! I can't really believe it. This is her on Halloween with her friend Amber. (Yes, that is her hair all curled)
She has always been a active girl. She will try anything. Thus tomorrow she will be jumping out of a airplane. That is all she has ever wanted for her 18th birthday. Karissa and Rob are going to jump with her. Hopefully I will have good pictures to post.
She loves to sing and perform. It was great watching her this year.
She is so beautiful. She doesn't think so but she is inside and out!!
I just plainly love this picture. I blew it up to a 5X7 and put it up in the hallway.(Yes, I took that shot) We are so grateful to have this great girl in our family. She almost didn't make it at birth (cord around her neck 4 times, yes, long story) but we are so grateful she is a fighter. Kelsey you have truly blessed this family. We love you! By the way she is speaking in church this
Sunday about fathers. She said I will cry hard.

Jaycie 6th grade graduation

I just got back from girls camp and with all the business I didn't get a chance to post Jaycie's promotion from 6th grade. It was on the same night as seminary graduation so Savanna, Kali, Kason, and I went to 6th grade graduation.

HeHere is Jaycie with her certificate.
ThThis is Jaycie with one of her best friends Emily Lenz.

Kelsey's Graduation from Mesa High School. Yes, it rained during the whole ceremony. It wasn't pouring but just a constant rain. I can't believe it rain on graduation two years in a row. Karissa's was rained out last year. She had to have her class split in two. One group in the auditorium and the other in the gym. This is us.
Kelsey was in the top twenty of her class (#11) so Rob and I got to sit on the field. I took this great picture of her right after she got her diploma.
Here she is getting her diploma!
Kelsey the big graduate!!

This past week Kelsey had a concert.  It was called "Jazz Baby Jazz".  There were three chamber group songs, solo's and duet's.  Kelsey sang a solo.  She sang "Can't Help Lov'n that Man of Mine".  I think that was the title.  She did great!
Kelsey also had MORP this weekend.  She went with David Palmer.  They were Peter Pan and Tiger Lilly.
Kelsey finally put her pictures from Prom with Taylor McCleary in the computer.  She went to Utah during spring break to go to his Prom.  She had a great time!! Don't they look cute!!  I am not sure how to turn these two prom pictures.  Sorry!
Last but not least this weekend was General Conference.  It was really wonderful to listen to our leaders.  Most of my family came over yesterday and we had a big dinner together after conference.  It was a lot of fun.  I didn't take any pictures.  Also, if anyone ever reads this blog the musical that Kelsey is in at Mesa High starts April 15th and goes through April 18th.  They are doing "Seussical, the Musical"!!  It should be really great so don't miss it!

Karissa is in the Easter Pageant at the Mesa Arizona Temple.  She is an Angel!!
This is her on the top of the stage!  It was beautiful!!
Make sure you go.  It is April 1 and 2nd 8pm. English.  April 3rd and 4th Spanish at 8pm and the April 7th thru the 11th English at 8pm

Sorry I had to add one more thing.  A week ago Savanna had a gymnastics meet in Tucson.  This is her second meet for level 5.  This is her on the floor.  She is a great tumbler!
She got this cool shirt!!  It looks a lot like her don't you think?
This is her on the beam.  The one above is the dismount.  From that handstand she turn and lands on the ground.
This is her cartwheel on the beam. Yes, she did land it without falling off!!

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while.  I needed Karissa's help.  These first 2 pictures are of Kelsey. She had her soccer session ending party.  She received the Most Valuable Player Award!

These next two are of Jaycie.  She had to build a castle and the whole 6th grade had a Medieval Day.  Peggy Moffat had this great costume that we used.  Jaycie looked really cute!!


Last but not least, on March 8th Jake turned 14 years old!!  Wow!!  I order a whole pie to himself.  He ate the whole thing in one day.    We are so grateful for having this wonderful boy in our Family!!
