Graduate

We ran into our neighbor/friend/co FBLA and took a couple of pictures together.

She graduated high school and MTech a week from the other.  Good luck on her national test!

 

Ada's high school graduation

Ada officially graduated from High School!  I'm so glad.  She's worked hard and it will be fun to see which direction she takes next.  I took her and Sam early. Sam was in the band playing for graduation.  Then Dad brought Evelyn and Seth, where we met up with Grandma, Grandpa and Nellie.  It felt a little surreal, but good.  We ran into my Great Uncle and Great Aunt (Doug and Linda).  They came to support Oscar in the choir.

Ada, Donny, Brenton

Me, my mom, Ada, Nellie, Evelyn, my dad, Sam (Jer ran Seth to a party, which he thoroughly enjoyed.)

Emma, Elise, Alexx, Ada

Ada and Mr Parker.  He's one of the two advisors that she's worked with in FBLA and she also was a TA for him this year.

 

Evelyn

I never posted a picture of Evelyn's honors' night.  She got on the honor roll again.  It was a joint effort, but I'm proud of her.  She is a smart cookie, just struggles with deadlines and needs to be reminded to turn stuff in.

 

Misc week

Seth has had 3 birthday parties this week.  It's been crazy and he had to skip one because it was on my birthday and I wanted him with me.... but Jer graciously drove him to one at the end of Ada's graduation, so he wasn't in the graduation photos, but both him and Seth were there.

After the graduation, we went to 5 star bbq.  It was delicious and there was no wait at all.

Jim and Jer have been having hobby nights.  They help each other with trains and other things.  My favorite is hearing them laughing as they work.

These two got free graduation donuts.... the rest of us still wanted donut pictures.... hehehe.

Sam has been helping me with the daycare.  He's the cutest.  Here he's holding the two one year olds while I help the potty trainers in the bathroom.

My neice, Rae, had her graduation party too!  I can't believe that these guys are that old.  We had Ada graduate and 4 of her cousins this year.  

YW camp kick off.  

I wasn't feeling well so I went to take a nap.  I had a guardian.

Stake Conference.

Eli's missionary talk.  He did a spectacular job.  He was very Christ centered and direct.  He'll be a spectacular missionary.

Chris, Mia and Cristina invited us to their swimming pool.  All the kids ganged up against Seth saying that he was,"Demasiado poderoso!" Too powerful! in their water fight.  It was so funny.  

Seth never draws at home, but he brought this back from his art class.  I was looking at his portfolio and I'm amazed at how precise he is in dimensions, perspective, etc... Who knew that he was so good?  Not his momma.  I love this picture because it's his cat, his living room window, his couch and the mountains outside.

Sabrina Squires had her opening art exhibit at the library this week too.  I really wanted to go, but we had so much going on.... But we made it to the last 15 minutes.  We got to chat with her, appreciate some new paintings and meet another artist that was her co presenter that does all insects.
