Clinton getting his suits

Checking out the Tie Rack!

So we decided to go and get Clintons suits on Monday so they would be ready to wear to the Temple on Saturday!! He is tickled(!) with them and he LOVES his ties, ( he is a tie guy!! ) we bought him shoes , shirts, and suits and ties. Here are some pic's (thanks Darla for reminding me to take the camera!!!!)

Lunch after shopping at Puerta Vallarta.

E-mails to my son at college

I know that these are from last year but they were special and I wanted to save them and didn't necessarily want them on the front posting so I am actually adding this on 05-13-10:

I must say that sending Clinton off to school was very hard for this mommy, he is my baby after all! He had a rough time of it at first but then after about 2 months he decided he LOVED being on his own and had a great time. Here are just a couple of the special e-mail that we shared. He is very special!

Hello my pumpkin! How are you. I am so excited for you to be there and moving on with life, but I sure miss coming down the stairs and seeing you sitting on the futon playing XBox! The house is too dang quiet, except when Jack is yelling. How are your classes. How was Missionary Prep and are you still planning on going to Washington? what dates are those? Do you need anything sweetie? I love you so much, you will NEVER know how much I love you. Your Mama

Hey, sorry to bug you again. Just wondering how you are doing/ Mindi was over last night, she is great......... you don't need to worry about her. She isn't going anywhere. She finished a Rocky movie with me and AUb and then stayed to watch the new Pink Panther,,,, I fell asleep, I feel bad!! Oh well I was tired. She said we are stuck with her and I said Great! I think she is coming over on Tuesday after the kids get out of school to jump on the tramp, I guess Mindi is next best thing if they can't jump with Clinty!!! I love you so much, I find myself in your bedroom alot just remembering you laying there in that futon playing xbox or sleeping. Its a pretty empty room. How are you... classes going good? Do you have a favorite or is it just more of the same,,,,,,school? I never hear enough from you so you can bug me anytime you want to. I love to hear your voice,. I am so proud of you my baby son!!!!I am happy that you will always be my baby!Lots of hugs and kisses,Mom

Hey my sweet young son. Please know that I have petitioned angels to be near you, I wouldn't be surprised if one of them is your big sister! I love you so much, I know you will be ok, Heavenly Father doesn't give us peaches and cream all the time , sometimes we have to deal with pickles and try to learn what He wants us to learn from the experience. I know its hard but hang in there and I promise you things will get better. Just remember who you are and who loves you...............ME >>>>>>>>>>>and lots of others, including your Heavenly Father and your Savior!I checked, and you are roaming, you had 130.00 on just your portion of the phone bill last month which included the Seattle trip. Try to slow down on the calls please. I think texting isn't charged as roaming!Love You SO Darn much!!!!Your Mommy
