More Ski dive pics

Kelsey walking away after a great landing. She did get sick and threw up! But she still loved it and would do it again.
Rob coming in for his landing.
This is Rob!
This is Kelsey!
The three Ski Divers! Karissa, Kelsey, and Rob! They loved the free falling the best!

Kelsey's birthday and skidiving

Sorry this will go out of order a little bit because I don't know how to fix it. This is the little brown plane they jumped from at 10,000 feet!
For Kelsey's birthday Kelsey, Karissa, Kali and I went and had pedicures. Kali's foot is at the top, Kelsey's is the tan one on the right (she is life guarding and getting tan), Karissa is at the bottom, and then me on the left.
This is Kelsey coming in for her landing.
Kelsey and her cake! Big 18!!

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.

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!
