Graduation pics




Brooke graduated from High School this Spring.  She had her Senior pictures taken by Michelle, and her Friend Lynette Watts.  They turned out soo cute.  She is such a cute girl and has turned into such a fine Young Woman.  She is currently planning on attending Snow College in Ephram Utah.  I thought I would post some of those Senior pics because I want to be able to know where they are in a hurry in case we need an emergency picture of our Senior year!  Really because they are soo cute I LOVE them and think they deserve a post  all of their own!!

So, It has happened again.  I'm stressed!  I have got to get a grip on my life and the chaos of it all.  Summer is almost as hard as school season.  I have been teaching summer school.  Which is good money and I'm poverty stricken.  It just adds to the money that we have because all the expenses are paid and so summer school is just extra for soccer, cleats, football, bearlake, food, clothes, school fees, shoes, school stuff, food. Car expenses. . .If summer school can pay for all of that, then I must make a ton. NO actually, but it does help with all those extras  BUT it comes at a price.  The Clemons clan are all home in the day.  Nick and Jack are out of control.  We have these neighbor kids that come over at 9:00 in the am and stay all day.  We haven't seen him since last summer.  I think he is visiting his dad in the summer, who is our neighbor.  (not a close neighbor if you can't tell)  And his dad must work so Jackson is outside all day with no where to go but our house.  AND that makes Jack out of control that he doesn't have to behave and he can just act horrible. Anyway, Jack and Nick both need more schedule.  They have started football conditioning but that is 6:30 - 8:00 am two days a week.  Not exactly time consuming for them.  They have also taken golf lessons (not one pic of golf lessons) and so that helped last week.  Not sure what happened today...

Gotta get a grip.  Not sure I can keep up much longer.  Worried about fall when Andrew, Nick and Jack are all playing football, and Abi is playing her competition soccer.  AND I have one car.  Chili may have to get a car and pitch in.  (that's an entry for the other blog.)  Stress.  trying to figure it out.  Just need to Breathe.  And it will all work out.  I really hate that quote, because it does all work out...but not without stress and effort and worry and failure.  It could workout with success too.  Hopefully the second option will be ours...

I just wanted to let you know what an impressive young man you have.  It’s been fun to work with him at school.  He’s talented, smart and well-liked by other students, but the most impressive part is his willingness to serve others.  I always see him pitching in to help from putting away chairs to carrying out balloons like today.  He may be quiet and keep a low profile but he is exceptional in the qualities he has.  You’re raising an awesome son!

WOW!  Soo impressive that the counselor would bother to email me about how wonderful Andrew is.  I already knew how fabulous he is...Love him.  He is an asset to our family.
