Steven Henagers College - Class of 2011

 

FINALLY we are done - Okay the truth is that I have been done since the end of January and Micah will be done in August, but any who!  We had our Graduation Ceremony and are so thrilled to be one step closer to achieving our next set of goals.  Micah and I both were certain that we did not want to walk in the ceremony, but decided that we needed to set the example and let the boys in our home see what you can do when you work on your education.

Micah's mom came and we had the MOST AWESOME surprise ever when I got a text message from friends (from California) showing me a picture of the inside of the Dee Event Center at Weber State.  They needed to come to Utah and made sure to come during our graduation - THANK YOU Nancy and JT we were so glad to have you two there.

Congratulations Chaze

Seminary Graduation

Congratulations, Gray!

This morning Micah, Gray and I headed to Salt Lake City to the Joesph Smith Memorial Building to attend the Lila Awards Breakfast for the Utah Youth Village.

Gray was one of twelve other youth who was being presented a Lila Award for the improvements with the program.  Gray was awarded the Lila GOLD Award. 

Becky's Bapatism

It's times like these that I wish Utah was only an hour away from California and we could be with our family.  A few months before this picture was taken Becky called Uncle Micah & I and asked when would we be coming back to visit because she wanted us to be there.  Unfortunately, we weren't going to be able to make a trip and insisted that she not wait, but take care of business and get it done.

Becky is the first born grandchild and niece to Micah's family and LONG BEFORE I married into his family Becky was calling me 'Nana' and had me wrapped around her finger :) So I have a hard time telling this little girl - wait she is no little girl anymore she is a young lady - anyways I have a hard time telling her no.

So Becky Uncle Micah and I want you to know how proud we are of you and the choice that you made to be baptized and I want to take this opportunity to share with you something your mom shared with me when I made that important decision:

The feeling that one receives, The one that says "I believe."
The knowledge of right and wrong, Is the thing that can bring you home.
The truth we can all receive, The knowledge we can believe.
The one who saves us all, Is the thing that can bring you home.
We can return home, To live together again, In the home we all were once in,
This is the hope to bring you home.

Rebecka something else your mom shared with me is the following message: "Tanya, You are making a great step in your life. You will be blessed. I know this church is true. I know you are a great friend and a special spirit. I know Heavenly Father brought you to Paso Robles and we were meant to be friends. Best Friends."  And since your mom has always been better at words than I have been let me tell you know how grateful I am that I moved to Paso Robles, that I met your mom, your Uncle Micah and the rest of those crazy Smith's because I had the opportunity to meet you and call you my niece.  I love you Becky. <3 Nana

Lost Puppy

Micah and Gray were coming home from school one afternoon and found this little guy hiding in the fields. Gray walked right up to this scared little guy and before Micah was parked in the drive way was telling me that I was NOT allowed to keep him under any circumstances. 

'Little Dog' as he was referred to only lasted about a week with us before I had to finally call it quits - he was about four months old, not potty trained, cried, scared of everything and did I mention NOT potty trained!!  The only great thing about him was that Boozer would sleep in his kennel with the puppy.
