Sunday was graduation. Jo Boudoux graduated from Warsaw High School.

There are only a few more days of school and its all over. Lacey will start working at NRI on Monday.
Larissa Fortes leaves tonight with her friends to St Louis. They will stay in a hotel and then she will fly home to Brazil on Wednesday.

Jo will be with us until the end of June so she can be with her friends a little bit longer before she goes home.

Our Finished Kitchen!!

Well when I was catching up on my blogging yesterday I realized we hadn't posted any Pictures to say we are finished with the kitchen. Maybe because we have a few more small things we want to accomplish and Mom and dad came the next day. Well here it is!! I absolutely LOVE my new kitchen. It's just right for me.
My sink is deep and holds my biggest pans. I never realized how pathetically small my old sink was.
My house is more open and inviting. It feels better. A better flow I guess you could say.

We made a bigger space for a bigger refrigerator down the road. We were limited to the smallest size by the old kitchen design. Now we can get whatever we want. (were going to have to save up for that purchase!)

Well I said it once and I'll say it again!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new kitchen!!!

Happy Mothers Day!!

The best gift of all was having all three of my children home with me for Mothers Day! I love them so much and they are really a joy to be around!! For a gift they took a bunch of amazing pictures of themselves in front of my Lilac bushes. (lilacs are one of my favorite flowers) Then they had them printed and framed a few. I even got some for my wallet. Yay!! I love mothers day.
I also got some beautiful flowers and sweet cards. Breakfast in bed and dinner with those I love the most. What a wonderful day! I feel so loved.

Grandma and Grandpa visit Nauvoo!!

We finished our Kitchen just in time for my Mom and Dad to visit. I haven't seen them in almost two years. It was so wonderful to have them here. It just made everything feel right. They brought Sage and Amber with them. Amber got her braces off and is taking her car back to Utah with her. It was wonderful to have all of my girls and my parents home for a while. I felt like it just reset my life so everything just seems better.

Lacey's First Prom
