My little Beaner graduated from high school last weekend! 
She went from this baby in a beanie (thus the nickname)…..

To This!

And now she’s off to BYU!

Our little girl is all grown up!   I’ve always been more of a mother to Sarin than a sister because I was seventeen when she was born.  This all makes me just about as teary eyed as it does Mom.  I love you, Bean!  You have become a beautiful woman.  I can’t wait to see what you make of the rest of your life! 

We spent the morning at swimming lessons…

And the afternoon at the Splash Pad!

Check out our Red Head!

She was VERY tired by this point.  We all were!  We came home and I took a nap!  At some point soon I’ll get some packing done….

Aunt Janie’s for the BBQ.

Thank you. 
Thank you for allowing me to sleep peacefully in my bed at night.  Thank you for leaving your families to do so. 
Thank you for making it possible for my children to run free down a country lane. 
Thank you for giving the last full measure of devotion.
