Off To College - Utah State University, Here She Comes!

The day is here! She's off to college! All that hard work to get to where she is today and finally, it's here. I can not describe the feelings of joy and happiness along with sadness and anxiousness that I felt as we left her at the college and said goodbye. We don't get to see her until September 22nd. I know she will be amazing and we are so proud of the woman she's grown into. Welcome to the world baby girl!

 

Just Because

Just because I love him and he's so dang cute.

Brandi Carlise Concert with Besties

The girls try to get together and go to this concert every year at Red Butte Gardens. It is such a fun time to just connect, share some wine and relax together as friends.  I love this tradition.

Saying Goodbye to the Girls

These girls met in Kindergarten. I can't believe they've stayed close like cousins all these years. Each one of them is going off to a different college.

Sieauna - Utah State University

Lauren - Southern Utah University

Madison - Boulder Colorado

Ashlee - Salt Lake Community College

Anna - University of Utah

We held a "Goodbye BBQ" in their honor. Good luck girls! You will be missed by these momma's of yours and we know you will all do amazing in your future!  Holli made us a video with photos of all the kids growing up. It can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqgMTEOqkrc 

She did such a great job. All the mommas were in tears! Thank you Holli!

And even though Remi is the baby of the group, I couldn't help snap this photo of him going to town on the red velvet cake. He's adorable!
