Boys Toys and Lots of Noise: May 2022

I don't know why but these photos posted all sorts of out of order! And it's too hard to fix it so I'm sorry. This month is kind of going to go backward.

When Bryan and I got married he had finished about 6 credits of college. Pretty much nothing done. And I was worried to marry him without some sort of goal of providing for his family because it felt like he didn't have one. Honestly he did but needed a push to get school started. Well USU was NOT very helpful in getting him in school. Finally when Tyson was 9 months old they allowed him to start his bachelors with satellite and online classes. It took him 7 years to finish because he only did a couple of classes at a time. Not only did he work full time though that he was around for raising 4 little boys.

A few years ago he came to me saying he felt like he needed to get a MBA. He had already talked to Utah State about getting it down. I was floored! For is bachelors degree I was the one doing all of that signing up and talking to the school for him. He just went to class. So he talked to a couple of friends from work into doing it with him. They decided to go on a slow path to finish because their job would give them so much every year for school. Just for a idea his degree was over 30,000 to get. About thousand bucks a credit. So having work help pay was HUGE.

To say I was proud of him is a understatement. If you knew Bryan back in the day I'm sure him having a graduate degree would have shocked you. Not only that but he had a 4.0 with his masters.

He refused to do a graduation ceremony. I wish I would have made him but oh well. But he did last me get some photos of him.

I told you this was backwards- We got to see some Pack family for Memorial Day. This is Emily Pack and I love her more then I can say. She was one of my roommates in college and just more of a friend/sister then anything.

Super rainy Memorial Day at the Pack graves.

Oh this is one of my FAV things from last year. I've really got into family history and have been reading a lot about my family. On my moms side I have 4th great grandparents that were pioneers and settled in Weston Idaho. That is where Bryan's mom grew up and her family was from. We go to Weston Cemetery every single year and yet I didn't know I had family there too! So I was on a search to find them. And low and behold. My 4th great grandparents are buried NEXT TO Bryan's 4th great Grandparents. NEXT TO EACH other! How cool is that? His are Jensens and mine are Coburns. I just love it so much. They would have had to know each other. I hope they liked each other haha.

Ah another thing I loved. May was a awesome month! My brother and sister in law decided to adopt the boys they had in foster care. After that was official then they were able to have them sealed to them. The date kept having to change and the location but then they finally figured out the Payson temple that was close to them. Well after two years of not catching it my parents got covid right before. And were too sick to come. They felt so bad! Sierra had a lot of her family there a couple of friends from their ward. And Sierra's cute Grandpa did the sealing.

Bryan and I were the only ones there from our side. I will never forget it. Nate has a 8 kids under 10. And Finn and Jojo were only 1 with Alex and Alayna being 2. I didn't know how it would go. Bryan and I were outside to help with the kids. I got to hold Jojo in the temple and as soon as we went inside the kids were so good. Jojo just kept looking around. Alex was such a sweetie as well. I was helping them get ready in the youth center before the sealing. I had that calling when I was first married in the Logan temple. Grandma Jenkins was in charge of it.

Bryan and I had Jett and Indy sitting by us in the sealing room and Nate and Sierra got to hold Alex and Jojo. Even when they were being sealed and and the kids have to keep their hands on Nate and Sierras they HELD STILL. You just have to know that they are busy toddlers who don't hold still. Alex kept looking up and around. It was such a special moment. Bryan will make fun of me for this but I know we had a lot of Grandparents watching in that room. I just love those sweet little boys. I'm so happy they are in our family forever.

Field Trips! Brett and I got to go to Golden Spike National monument. I had never been! It was really cool to see. And hot outside.

Come to find out I did have some family that had worked for the railroad.

My cousin Julie loves family history like me. So I took her to Logan cemetery to show here where our family graves are. We had her sweet Kennedy with us.

Kennedy never got to meet her Grandma Martha in this life. Martha would have adored her!

Another field trip! This time the 5th grade in Logan canyon. We took the kids on a few mile hike and many of them had never been on a hike before. Stock is on the left in the back in a green jacket.

Ty's hat says Women want me and fish fear me.

One of our many razor rides. Looking into blacksmith fork canyon from Millville canyon. Me and my Gord I just love him.

East and Hadlee Christensen - cousin Coltons little girl.

Senior ball! I had another session that day so Jacks mom Trinity took these photos and did a great job!

Muddy razor rides!

See backwards- Ty made the flower for his prom date with Jack and his sister.

More out or order- more MBA photos

Tyson helped me do free missionary photos for people. He helped get their info so I could send them the pictures.

His answer from his prom date.

Bryan bought this for me for mothers day. He knows my love of sweet peas and how they remind me of my sweet grandma Jenkins.

Water turn

This ride was so fun! There was mud everywhere!

We were up hardware ranch and over. And ended up going as far as we could go until we found trees over the road. We were covered in mud and it was so much fun.
