With all the hoopla going on with the wedding, just want to take a little break to show some fun photos Kassidy Bradford (yes, Kerri’s daughter) took of my graduating high school senior:
I am simply in love with Collin Downs Bearnson! He is a perpetual peacemaker, sensitive, kind, funny and loves family more than anything else. He also loves comic heroes and is always drawing me adorable pictures with cute notes on the back. This is the one he gave me last Sunday for Mother’s Day:
This note was on the back:
Dear Mom,
I drew you a picture of Batman. I know you probably don’t even like him, but consider this. Batman is the protector of Gotham City. He also cleans up the streets to make sure all the filth is gone. Batman reminds me a lot of you. Not only do you protect our household from becoming a dump but you do it with a very spunky attitude. Batman loves the citizens of Gothem City. Why else would he go to all the trouble? You love the citizens of the Bearnson family. Why else would you put up with so much? And for that I LOVE YOU!
Collin
Ahhhhh–Best mother’s day present in the world!
I also got Nook from Steve (love it), a hand-painted vase from Sage, flowers from Konsti, an organized closet and breakfast in bed from Stefyn, a toaster from Kade (mine recently gave up the ghost) and my DVDs organized from Brecken. Plus–Kade and Taylor made a fabulous meal (she is one amazing cook) complete with marinaded steak, chicken and veggie kabobs, artichoke dip and chips, grilled pineapple, avocado salad and caramel pecan brownies.
Only one more week ’til I have a new daughter! Wow–can’t believe I’m at that stage in life.
Can’t wait to share some of the details!

Hey doll, I know this isn’t really the place to tell you this but I am so excited and cannot reach you otherwise. Three days ago I told my RS president I needed 9 Books of Mormon and 9 Truth Restored. I told her it was time my siblings take lessons and convert. I had not mailed these off yet, when last night, around 10:30, my sister called asking questions about the Mormon Religion. After 3 hours of talking to her, she is going to take lessons!! If THAT isn’t God working miracles, I don’t know what is!!
