This was the first Utah graduation that I was able to make! Tayson's was during COVID, Luke and Claire both shared the date and time with the kids down here and it was decided that I should go to theirs. The Johnson kids have tons of family to help them celebrate, but the Mortensen's only have me!
Anyway, it was awesome to be there to help Sophie celebrate. I'm so proud of this young lady.
Todd and Kathy had a work trip the week before Sophie's graduation, so I went up to be with her. I didn't see her much with all of her senior activities, but I guess it helped just knowing that I was in the house. I had several beautiful walks along the river trail, was amazed that there was still snow on the tops of the mountains, visited the Orem temple, and attended a community production of the Wizard of Oz with Claire. It was really entertaining, very well done.
Happy birthday to the best son-in-law and woman could ask for. He is perfect for Amy, always with a smile on his face and a kind word shared. I don't understand his choice of birthday cakes, though?! Really?
I brought some of my flower garden into the house and boy did it smell good. All three kinds of flowers and known for beautiful fragrances...double delight roses, gardenias, and sweet peas. My house smells heavenly.
This was quite a busy weekend in Utah...Sophie's dance, Todd's birthday, and Mother's Day! It was so nice to go out to breakfast with both Amy and Todd to one of my favorite places...Magleby's Fresh. The maple bacon is to die for. Thank you for making me a mom, my favorite job ever. You made it so easy. I love you guys bunches💕💕💕
I can't believe Todd turned 50! We tried to get him to have a party, but he wasn't having any of that...so it was a quiet family celebration. Happy Birthday 
I have watched Sophie dance jazz/hip hop lots of times, but I rarely get to see her dance ballroom. Our Utah trip happened to fall on her final dance concert at Provo High and I was so excited to watch her dance. She was spectacular. Her smile lights up the stage, and she is so graceful in everything she performs. It was so fun to be there, hears all the screams for her, and see how much she is loved by her family and friends.
