My Baby Is Graduating From College

Hilary graduates today. She'll be walking to receive her Bachelor's degree tonight from Brigham Young University Idaho. We are so proud of her and her many accomplishments.  She'll have a major in communications with a minor in history finishing with a GPA of 3.8.  She took a two year break from education to serve a foreign mission to Seoul, South Korea for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints from 2012 through 2014. Her next pursuit will be to travel back to Seoul to meet the family of her soon to be fiance Jay in a couple of  weeks. We'll be planning a wedding at the end of October. She is a professional photographer/web designer. She will also be teaching English to Koreans. Her website is hilaryhendricks.com.  Hilary is an extremely hard worker and motivated person. When she sets her sights on something she achieves it. She is an amazing woman. We couldn't be any prouder of who she is and what she's done with her life. We are blessed.

My New Grandson Andrew

This was taken July 3, by their mother Cordie in Logan, UT. Olivia (8), William (will be 5 in August) holding Andrew (9 days old), and Ian (11 in two months). I can't believe how old my grandchildren are getting.

Andrew was born June 24, in Logan, UT. He is the fourth child to my daughter Cordie and her husband Mike. Cordie has the easiest time delivering her babies. She's very fortunate. Andrew was her smallest baby at 7lbs 5ozs and 19 inches long. This makes eight grandchildren for Rick and I. We have four grandsons and four granddaughters.

We are in love with him.

So now the kids are fighting over who gets to hold Andrew. They are loving him more than ever. I feel so blessed to have eight healthy, happy, and beautiful grandchildren. It's amazing how each one makes me feel. It is the best.
