Graduation from Eastern!!

My babies graduated from Eastern AZ College.  Unbeliveable, where has time gone?  It was so fun to see Allison and Dallin in their black robes, standing together, and receiving their diplomas together.  Makes a momma proud.

These two were in such a hurry, that they barely had time to stop and pose for a picture.  That's why it is blury.

The 2011 Graduating class of Eastern Az College.  Allison and Dallin to the left.

The Graduates.  So very cute.  Allison graduated with "associates of general studies" and Dallin graduated with "associates of applied science"  My kids amaze me.  They are both such hard workers, and have a desire for greatness!

Hmmmmm?  What's going on here

Oh the big switch

Yep, now straigten it out, so it looks nice.

Beautiful, now they both have color.

The graduates with the Very Proud Parents

 This is the last time that the Evans doubles will be playing


It is so fun to watch these four play.  They are very intense and they have a ton of fun together.  Allison and Dallin ended up winning 6-4  2-6  and won in a tie break 7-4



State and Nationals May 2011

DeWitt has had four weekends of State.  I'm pretty sure he is burned out of traveling.  DeWitt played Awesome and made it to the final four.  He ended up playing for 3rd and 4th and he got 3rd.  He worked really hard, and played great players.  We are so proud of him.










Allison played tennis in Tucson for her Nationals tournament.  She is still playing for EAC.  Scott and I got to drive Tucson on Tuesday to watch Allison play.  She played a great player who is Brazilian, and plays for Loredo, TX.  It was one of the most beautifully played matches that I have seen her play.  She makes tennis seem like a dance.  Dallin is the assistant coach for Eastern, so he has traveld all over with the team.  Dallin and Allison have enjoyed this extra time together.  The EA team got 5th in the Nation.  A very, very notible spot to hold.  Allison has loved playing for Eastern, but is happy to move on to Dixie State in St. George, UT where she will be going in the Fall.

The same weekend as DeWitt played State, we took Dallin shopping for his suits and shoes for his mission. We went to Burlington Coat Factory, and had fun shopping and trying on. Dallin discovered that he really does like to shop.  The funniest thing was when he was trying on suits, he needed to have Sunday shoes on with them, so I went to the shoe department and grabbed a pair.  They had a slick bottom and when Dallin had them on and his suit, he couldn't contain himself.....He just had to dance.  The cutest thing to see a big tall kid dancing in the isles of the store, just to make sure his suit fit well.  Love it!!

Easter April 24, 2011

I LOVE EASTER!
I love Easter, because I love to see my family having fun hiding Easter eggs, and being creative with their egg painting, and pretty much just being together.









The Easter Egg Toss

 I love when the kids find their Easter baskets.  Sometimes we play hot and cold, and sometimes the kids just find them on their own, any case it's a ton of fun to watch.






 Oooo this is Scott already starting the "raid"
Scott being caught in the "raid"

I love new Easter clothes especially when worn with a tennis sock line.






 I especially love Easter, because we pause a little longer in our day and lives to remember our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  He died for each one of us, atoned for each one our sins, and then on the third day he rose from the dead.  He was resurrected, he lived then, and he lives now.  I know this to be true.  I love my Saviour and Redeemer, and I know he loves each one of us.  I'm so thankful that each of my children have that same knowledge, and testimony.  I love Easter.
