6 Deans + a Dog

 So strange to think that just 1 week from Thursday and Rachel will graduate from High School.  We are so proud of the girl she is and the things she has accomplished.  We are so excited to see what great things are in store for Rachel.  She is a confident, beautiful, talented, friendly, humble, funny, spiritual, loyal, hard working etc... girl! :)

Rachel Elizabeth Dean

Olympus High School Graduate

June 5th, Huntsman Center @ 1:00

 Judy and Roger celebrated their "50th" wedding anniversary on May 14th.  John and Tonya were so nice to host a dinner and party with the family to help celebrate.  The decorations, food and cake were amazing.  Tonya really knows how to throw a party.  Mike and I were in charge of the "50" collage sign :) We sure LOVE YOU Roger and Judy!!! You are such great examples to us of LOVE and SERVICE.  Thanks for being you!!...Here is to "50" more years :)

 

 Rachel went to Senior Prom last Saturday night with Taylor Ellis.  It is so weird to think this was her last dance :(  She has liked Taylor Ellis for 3 years, so this was the perfect person to end her High School Dances with.  Taylor decorated Rachel's room to ask her and Annie wrote this darling poem to answer him.  They went to breakfast up the canyon the morning of the dance, they went to temple square for a photo shoot, ate dinner at Market Street, the dance was at the City Library downtown, after the dance they went to a comedy club and saw a movie at the Garden Theater.  Rachel said it was so much fun and a night she will never forget :)

 Jake and some friends decided to take advantage of the last ski day up at Snowbird.  I mean who doesn't want to ski in the middle of  May? :)  So I dropped Jake off at his friend Colton's at 11:15 and I get a call about 12:45 from Jake saying mom could you come pick us up at 2:00 because that is when the ski resort closes?  OK I'll be there.  About 20 min later I get a call from Jake...  He says, "Mom could you come now?  I fell and I am a little scraped up."  Never a fun call to get :(  So I arrive and the ski patrol walks out with Jake and I am like OH MY WORD!! A LITTLE SCRAPED UP!!! WOW!  He and his two friends were going off a jump and Colton went first and landed on his butt.  Jake was right behind and didn't want to land on Colton so he landed in some trees and Isaac was right behind Jake so he landed in trees also (His wounds weren't quite as bad as Jake's).  So some scrapes and a few broken ribs are Jake's ski injuries for the season... With all the flips and tricks he does I'll take it!!  Just a bummer it happened to be on the last day :(

 Will had his Spring Mixed Chorus concert last week at the Junior High.  They did a great job!  Will doesn't really like to sing or be in front of people so we were impressed he stuck it out the whole year.  Love you Will!!

Sadie had her dance photo shoot a few weeks ago.  She is taking 5 dance classes this year...2 jazz, 2 ballet and 1 hip hop.  She absolutely LOVES to dance.  She just tried out this last week for company and she made "The Elite Group".  They are the group that already knows a lot of technique and has great stage presence :)  We are so happy for Sadie and are excited about this new dance journey!!  I am not really a "dance mom" but I guess I will learn :)...So when we got the package info to order Sadie's dance pictures I couldn't believe how expensive they were.  I decided since we paid a sitting fee I would just screen shot them and at least have them for my blog.  I know I am lame but it works :)
