Here is a blurry version (picture of a picture) of Emily's senior portrait. 

Blurry or not

I LOVE IT.

This is the face that makes even a hard day great.  Its a genuine smile.  It's the real Emily.

 

 Now, Tanner's Sr. portrait will not feel so alone on the wall. 

Chad starts high school in the fall...

We got this, 

right?

Emily's last Winter Formal.

I have a hard time putting my feelings into words when I look at my daughter Emily in these pictures.  She is 17 years old now and this is her last winter formal in high school.

It seems like it can't be possible

but I know it is.

I loved her hair.  

Thank you Katie!  We decided this is our most favorite ever!

She has so much to look forward to.  College in the fall and so many plans waiting to be lived 

yet so happy right now.  I am so thankful for her good friends, her good choices, and her good life.

Emily and Preston. 

A couple of goof balls. 

Preston will be leaving for his mission in just 4 weeks.  He is going to Lima Peru.  

We will miss him but know he will be a wonderful missionary.
