Some goodbyes are HapPy.. for Some

left to right..down and up!  Carson Baltazar, Chase Davis, Dakotah and Tanner Taggart

Schools....OUT for sUmMeR  and 4-ever for our oldest Dakotah!  Can it really be so?  I SWEAR to you it WAS just yesterday that I took him to kindergarten!  Time flys like I have always been told but never could quite comprehend..He did graduate and those 3 years of homeschooling we did?....didn't hold him back a bit!  WHEW!!  Anywho it's over and way more sadder for me than for him.  He's off working with his Dad and Brother for the summer and working on his Mission papers as I write this.  He is a wonderful, wonderful Son, Brother, Friend and example to his younger siblings!  We are so BLESSED to have him in our family. 
So he said goodbye to High School and also to his Car.  All the hours of work he put into is now being enjoyed by another.  Another sad day for his Mother as I watched it drive down the road for the very last time.  What a huge learning experience in so many ways for him!  He is becoming a man and I hope we trained him well.  Ready or not world...HERE HE COMES!
