FIRST Graduation

We had our first graduation in the family last night. It was such a great experience and we were so lucky to have Grandpa Walker here to share it with us. Rebekah will be leaving for BYU Provo in June and we are enjoying these last few weeks with her. She truly does so much to hold our family together. She is such a peacemaker and a good example to everyone. She is so amazing in her focus on things that truly matter. We appreciate her so much.
Grandpa Walker is still with us and we are enjoying our time with him. He is a great example to us all.

Mother's Day 2008 was great for us! We woke up early and Celine made Mom an elaborate breakfast/feast. She even teared up when all the kids gave their gifts. It was a really special moment for the whole family. We all love her so much and appreciate all she has done for us. There were also some wonderful talks at our sacrament meeting that day and we all are determined to appreciate Mom and all she does more!

Rebekah really enjoyed herself...

We even had fun on the way back!!! Sarah is so cute. We all enjoy her faces!

This past General Conference Dad took Daniel, Celine, and Madeleine up to Salt Lake City to witness this glorious occasion! It was such an experience. They all had such a lovely time and enjoyed being in a city where the church is so strong. They also had quite a bit of bonding time! It was all together a memorable experience and one that they will treasure for a lifetime. Thanks Dad!!!
