Curly's Graduation

Yesterday, Sport, Baby Doll, Scout, her married friends K & J and I all braved the traffic to get to UVU for Curly's graduation. Unfortunately, all of the printed invitations said 1:30, but we discovered when we were on the road, that it actually started at 1:00. Let's just say that Scout drove very fast!

We got there just as the processional started. At least I did. Scout and Baby Dl dropped me at the entrance and then looked for a place to park.

I found Sport and then made my way down the stairs so I could take a pic of Curly coming from the tunnel.

Seating was full, so we ended up in this little balcony with very little legroom.

It was a typical ceremony and it was over all too fast. Let me share a few more pics with you.

Love this guy!

Guest Blog: Curly's New Life Ahead by the Dog Walker

Ever since, Mom has started this blog, she has always cherished talking about her twelve kids and explaining how their lives have been. This was Curly back as a little boy, along with a stunning hairdo of curls. I remember the times during Covid, that I would read to him and Baby Doll the entire Harry Potter series. And now after all these years of blogging, he is about to graduate from high school and move on to a new life chapter. He'll be serving a mission in Baltimore, Maryland, and he's earned a scholarship to the University of Virginia and one to BYU and a whole lot of other schools when he's done with his mission. Congratulations, Curly! You sure grew up so fast.

Enjoy these pictures of Curly over the years.

Beautiful Gift

So for the last couple of months, Curly has been working on an awesome gift in woods class. For the last couple of weeks, he has asked his teachers (if there wasn't much going on) if he could go to the woods lab because he was worried that he wasn't going to be able to finish before school was out.

When my gift was ready to come home, he hefted it over his shoulders and visited all those teachers so he could show them what he had done!

He did an amazing job, don't you think? I will update you about his staining process as we go. He says it will take three weeks. It sounds like a lot of work to me.

Mom & Me Dance Class

This morning was the last Mom & Me dance class for the dance year. Even though I missed the last couple weeks, I really enjoyed my time with Carnitas.

Burrito picked me up and we all drove in together. Carnitas did such a great job dancing with Bossy. Even Burrrito got into the music.

Tomorrow, I get the stitches out of my back. I can hardly wait. It just itches so much!!
