Graduation 2009

May 21st, 2009 - Was a very special day. Not only was it my 44th birthday, but it was Trellany's graduation from Gilbert High School. It's hard to imagine that 18 years ago this beautiful little baby girl was brought into this world and now she's grown into this amazing, wonderful 'Angel' of a daughter. Not only did Trellany graduate with a 4.0 GPA but also was awarded the 'Stake President Award' for Seminary. She has become such a wonderful young lady. Although her journey through child hood and teenager years as come to a close her young adult and adult life is just beginning. Trellany has had an incredible 18 years and I know that the next 80+ will be filled with just as much fun, joy and engergy that she has because the one thing Trellany knows how do to, and that is ENJOY LIFE...the sky is truly the limit for her and I know that no matter what direction she chooses she will find "Joy In The Journey", because that is Trellany Joy. We love you so much baby girl and you will forever be our 'Angel'.

Congratulations and this great accomplishment...here's looking to the next phase of your life.

Graduation stage...who would have thought that the end of May we would have to worry about the 'Rain'...well it decided to rain and the question is what do you do with 800+ students. You do your best and hope the 'Rain' might just sprinkle during the ceremony. Well it rained not too hard so we weren't too wet by the time it was over, but it will definetly be a memorable night. Where the sunshines 300+ days a year and the one day we needed it to not rain, it rained. Oh well, it at least kept the weather cool where we could have been sitting in 110+ degress and dying from heat stroke, so I'll take the rain any day.

Nanna sitting in the rain - and of course everything has to color match even down to her umbrella. Oh Nanna...we love you so much.

Masquerade - Senior Prom 2009

Senior Prom: Trellany was asked by Brian Burton to go to Senior Prom. The Theme was 'Masquerade' and oh what a fun time was had by all. They went in a big group (I believe there were (7) couples. Senior 'Ditch' day was the day before the Prom so they put together a 'Lake' trip for the day. They wakeboarded and tubed and had a ball. Then Saturday May 9th was the day for primping and getting ready. Trellany had a really good friend who let her borrow her prom dress and all I can say is THANK YOU to Megan and her parents. The dress was absolutely AMAZING...pictures do not do it justice. It was a terra-cotta peach with sequins and beads and a skirt with ruffles that simply was 'to die for'. The entire back was laced up through loops and took about 15 minutes to get her in and all done up. But all I can say is Trellany was simply breathless when she was finished. Her cousin 'Shelley' was kind enough to do Courtney, Diane and Trellany's hair for the special evening and when they were all finished they all looked 'BEAUTIFUL'.

The dates came and picked them up and then they all met at Jared Stanford's home where pictures were taken and then the 'BIG' surprise came. The boys lined up a 'PARTY BUS' to escort the party to dinner and the dance. Dinner was held at the 'CHEESECAKE FACTORY' and then off to the dance. Fun was had by all and 'SENIOR PROM' went down as a 'NIGHT TO REMEMBER' and memories were made that will last a life time.

This was left at the front door asking Trellany to Prom.

A pack of 'Candy' Cigarettes and a big block of Wood. It was really cute.

Trellany getting ready to show her stuff..getting her feet buckled into the boots to 'WakeBoard'.

My baby girl...all grown up..

Three generations...My Mom, Me & Trellany - Nanna's Angel.

Putting on the corsage..it was a wrap bracelet..way cool.

Trying to figure out how this thing goes on...I think Nanna had to finally step in and do her magic so it would stay.

Brian, Trellany - Jessica & Markus - WOW...they all clean up really well.

Here's where the height really comes into play...

Brian is such a good sport..he's a great guy.

The theme was 'Masquerade' so the night before all the girls were over making their masks. Pretty fun.

Now the 'Party' begins...Diane, Brianna, Trellany, Jessica & Courtney

The corsages...and friends forever.

All the boys..they went from 6'10" - 5' 6"

The contrast...tallest, shortest...

The whole group..

The girls...

Stunning Beauties..

We made this look 'Antique' as back in the good old days..

Brianna is not only one of Trellany's bestest friends but also her DANCING buddy...I think they have attended all the dances of High School together. They truly are best friends.

Gone With The Wind...

Brian playing coming down to Trell's level..funny haha!!
