Babes do grow up......TOO FAST!


Emalee McNeill

This week she gets to experience many milestones in her life and I would like to take the opportunity to honor her!

18 years ago this beautiful young lady blessed our home and our lives. She grew up way too fast....Saturday was Emalee's 18th BIRTHDAY. Wow, 18 wonderful years of watching her mature in to the fine young lady that she is today. I remember watching her play girls softball, clogging, enjoying activities with many friends, participating in FFA, Goat tying in HS rodeo and many other things.

Sunday night she attended SEMINARY GRADUATION with her fellow ward and stake members. I am so proud that she took the time during High School to dedicate a class period to Seminary.

And Tuesday is the culmination of her adolescent life, she will attended her HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION from Grantsville High School and receive her diploma.
More pictures to follow!

Can I turn back the hands of time and enjoy the little girl that grew up before my very own eyes? Can I hold her little hand for just a while longer? It is hard to believe that right before my eyes she grew up! How did it happen so fast? Treasure your time with your children....because Babes grow up too fast, then it's gone and all you have are treasured memories of days gone by. When did I become my parents?

    I'm trying really hard to cherish my 2 year old who is trying to be potty trained...
