Memorial Day
After decoarting the graves, we went for a spur of the moment picnic in the canyons. Here I am with my best friend, my companion, my sweetheart, my soulmate Gary. We make a pretty cute couple still after 32 years, huh?
And speaking of pretty cute... here is my daughter and I ... I love her and I think that she is just about the most beautiful young lady that I have ever seen!
Here is Justin ( under protest ) smiling for me so that I can take his picture. Thanks Justin for humoring your mom... I loved it!
And last of all... my hottie movie star daughter... She's darling!
Thanks for the wonderful day! I loved every second and this will be time well spent in my memory bank. I can't wait to make more wonderful memories... I was missing Josh and Jared. Maybe next time we will all be together!
Happy Birthday My Sweet 16 Beauty... !
Jenna's sweet 16 balloons that were sent to school for a surprise!
Jenna and her balloons
What is this??? Yes!!! A tinkerbelle key chain for what???? Her first set of car keys!
Her Tinkerbelle seat covers!
Her Tink steering wheel cover!
I can't believe that my baby girl is 16 all ready! And ... gulp... driving! She got a new ( very used ) car. Her brother Justin has been building this car from the ground up and now we only need to have a paint job on her Saturn. We've asked her if she wanted to have her picture taken by her new car... and she said... um.. not till it's painted! Happy Birthday baby girl.... Happy Sweet 16!!
more to come... in part 2!

My Special Mother's Day
On Sunday, we had a wonderful day. Gary made me my fav breakfast snack, and that was followed by my all new favorite items, Willow Tree figurines. Then church, and we left after Sacrament to get our phone call. Justin and Jenna made sure that I had a wonderful lunch, and Josh had to work all night and he called wished me a Happy Mother's Day and gave me a wonderful facebook greeting before he went to sleep. The long awaited phone call was amazing and I loved every second of our hour and 15 minute phone call. Jared sounded so good. It was wonderful to hear his voice. It was the best possible medicine for my heart. Then we watched a great movie and I had a scrumptious dinner. I was full, happy and satisfied. And isn't that what it's all about??? Being a mom is the best job that I've ever had. It's the only thing that I've ever wanted to do... and I'm in love with all of my kids. It's the best job in the whole world!
My First 5K!!

Catchng Up
Hunter Adam Walch is going to join the Walch clan on or around August 30th. We are so excited to have a new member of our family and we are so excited to be Nana and Papa. We can't wait to get to hold this little angel from Heaven and he will be one of our greatest blessings. I am sure that he will be one of the cutest babies that have ever come down from Heaven ( okay... I may be a little bit biased.. but that is my opinion!!)
Second....
We have less than 300 days before I get to hug my missionary son. I can't wait for that day. The first year seemed to drag by, but the second one has been going faster. I am excited that he has been out for 15 months and we will be able to talk to him next month for Mother's Day. I look forward to the day when he is home for good.
Third....
She has earned her Young Women's Medallion. Actually, both JENNA AND I have earned our medallion. She was finished long before I was and she waitied for me so that we could get it together in Sacrament meeting. I love her for achieving that objective. She is now working on getting her honor bee. We do, however, have both of our medallions in silver instead of gold. I am very proud of her... just like when Jared got his Duty To God. It was a nice day... And it was one of the paydays of being a mom.
Fourth...
We have finished Jenna's room. It looks so pretty in brown and pink. Her giant bed takes us most of the room but it is totally her and she is very excited to have all of this space to spread out! I will post pics later when she has her bed made and her room straightened. She went to the temple today with her Young Womens for baptisms. What a good girl....!
Fifth....
Jared has been promoted to District Leader and is over the missionaries ( Elders and Sisters) in his district. We are loving hearing about all of his successes and adventures ... and we can't wait to go pick him up in 9 months!
Well, I think that I have updated everything that has gone on I think in our family. I will try to be better at keeping this up to date. Until next time my friends......
