Arden's Graduation

Just a few pictures of one of our 3 graduates this year. Arden Elizabeth Jorgensen graduated from Olympus High School on the 2nd of June 2011.





















































There were close to 400 students down on that floor!
Can you see Arden? I wish I had one of those arrows to point her out. I was quite upset at the camera when it came to her getting her diploma. Just as she got to the point where they were taking pictures, I snapped the perfect shot -- the the camera shut off! So, these are the best I got, AFTER she came down from the stand.




































































































































About 2 weeks before school graduation was Seminary Graduation. Here's Arden with President Young, Bishop Colby and her dad.




























Arden was utilized quite well that evening. She played the piano for the hymns and prelude/postlude music, and she sang alto in a quartet that Sis. Blunt only had a week to put together for this. Arden did a grrrrrreat job!
































Here is just a bit of randomness. These flowers are in our wild-flower space in the back. They were really pretty this year.













































This is Shelley's strawberry cake recipe. I tried it one weekend, and Grandma liked it so much she requested it for her birthday. So, here it is. Beautiful -- and delicious!
