My Little Sis

...is all grown up!

{photography by Studio West - Karl Hugh}


my mom serves on the school board in cedar city and sits on the stand during graduation. she got to hand hannah her diploma and give her a hug. {oh, how sweet!}

(thanks to the stewarts for grabbing those two pictures for us!)


hannah has accomplished amazing things - athletically, academically, and spiritually. she has continuously made good choices and lived the gospel standards.

her whole world changed this year. one week into her senior year she lost her dad and brother. her sister-in-law moved in and then came little porter. hannah loved and doted on him from day one. she continued to run cross country, play varsity soccer, do track in the spring, excel in school with hard AP classes, adjust to the change of her mom dating and getting remarried, and deal with the emotions and heartache that come with tragedy. she has had a hard year.

but she has persevered and conquered all that has come her way. her testimony is sure and her faith is enduring. what an example she is to me.

hannah plans to head to provo in the fall to attend BYU. (i am SO excited for her!) i know she will accomplish much there and can't wait to see what the future holds for her. boys, watch out- she's not allowed on a date with a return missionary until after her freshman year!

hannah, i love you!
