The Graduates!

-
I AM AN ASU GRADUATE!!! It has been a long road and a lot of all nighters doing homework, but on May 13th, 2009 I received my Bachelor of Applied Science in Aviation Management Technology, Graduating Summa Cum Laude with a GPA of 3.87! On Saturday May 16th, 2009 I attended the Convocation Ceremony for the College of Technology and Innovation that was held at the Grady Gammage Auditorium in Tempe. It was AWESOME!!! The most special part of the event for me was when my Grandfather, Rudy Campbell (who has served on the Board of Reagents), was able to be a part of the platform party and present me with my diploma as I walked across the stage. What an honor it was to have him be a part of it!
I have so many wonderful family and friends who have supported me along the way! Thank you for encouraging me, supporting me, proof reading for me, and pushing me to keep going! THANK YOU EVERYONE! A special thanks to my In-Laws, Jerry and Sally, and my very dear friends Brandy, Carla, Jojo, and Jayden for traveling such long distances to celebrate with me!!! It was so wonderful to have you here!!!
After the ceremony we had quite the celebration at our home! What a fun time we had! Check out the beautiful cake that was all decorated in ASU colors! Go Sundevils!

On Wednesday May 20th Jacy graduated from Stepping Stones Preschool. What a proud mom I was! She really loves her teacher, Mrs. Tiffany! Lucky for Jacy she has another year of preschool ... she is excited to be returning to Mrs. Tiffany's class after the summer break.

    congrats!!!! So excited for you! The cake is amazing! I love it! Also, I've decided for our June page this year we are doing a graduation page. Enough people have kids who graduate from preschools and such along with those who know or graduated high school and college. One example page will be ASU colors!

    What a great accomplishment, especially when time isn't on your side as a mom! You look as young as we did in high school still!

    Take care,

Native Drums

For the past 6 weeks Jayne's class (all the 4th and 5th graders) at school have been working with a resident artist learning about the  Tlingit (KLING kit), the Haida (HIGH duh) and the Tsimshian (SIM she ann) native tribes of Southeast Alaska. They have learned how to introduce themselves in the native tongue. They have learned about the art and form styles used in totems and the meanings behind the symbols. They even had the opportunity to make a deer skin drum (Goo-jow), including soaking the deer skin and stretching it over the wood drum frame and letting it set until it hardened. Once it was completely dry they got to draw their chosen native symbol on the drum and the paint it. They look SO COOL! They even made their own drum stick using a stick, fabric, buck leather, and deer tendon, which was used as the string to tie it all together. This past week the students performed for the rest of the school, singing a song/chant in the native tongue. It is a welcome message...

Whale Watching

This weekend was BEAUTIFUL weather!!!  We have all been feeling a little under the weather, but we have made sure to get outside a little each day.  On Saturday we were fortunate enough to be downtown by the cruise ships docks and caught a few glimpses of a humpback whale!  When they bubble feed you can see a ring of bubble start to surface on the water and then they come straight up the center with open mouths to feed.  It is so cool to see them!  They are really big!  Sunday afternoon was a nice drive to all the great spots that we love to view the ocean from.  It was a gorgeous sunset!  Someday I still can't believe that we live here!!!
