Graduation is over...now the FUN begins?

The day after Graduation, Justin headed to Salt Lake for the Best of State Awards. He played in the Super Band. The Super Band won some awards there for their oustanding performances.

Diane started the process of getting the house inspected for Preschool. There weren't a lot of repairs/additions she needed to do which was nice & surprising.

Devin & Kasey participated in their Stake Youth Conference & Justin headed to Telluride, CO for the Telluride Jazz Festival. He had a lot of fun & saw some interesting people there. And, once again, they had an amazing performance.

All this happened the first week of June!

The second week of June, Devin started football practice/training and Kurtis started beginning summer band. Kurtis is going to play the trumpet. Mason turned 4 June 10 and Justin was ordained an Elder June 11.

The third week of June started out with Jam Camp in Park City for Justin & Devin. They were there all week. Diane was busy with Girls Camp...trying to get things going and ready.

The fourth week of June was Kurtis' Scout Camp at Camp Maple Dell. He was excited to go since it was his first one. He really enjoyed the experience and actually completed 3 merit badges there. Of course, they weren't required for Eagle. Oh well, guess you need to have fun too!

With everything going on, Diane decided (haha) to get sick. This was not a fun time...in bed with no energy to do ANYTHING.

Graduation

Justin finally hit the graduation milepost. He was excited to finally be done with school. It is different having one graduated. Next year we'll have two!

Busy Lives!

Here it is already April. The year is moving quickly. School will be out for the summer in less than 2 months. We are looking forward to Spring Break. We hope your families are busy and enjoying the spring time.

Scott is busy with work. He has spent a lot of overtime hours trying to get everything done. He was just called to be the Young Men's Secretary in our ward. He's excited to be able to work with the youth again.

Diane keeps busy with family. She tends kids once a week and has decided to start a preschool in the fall. She was recently called to be the Camp Director for the Young Women.

Justin is looking forward to graduation. He is busy with school and life in general. He has a lot to look forward to this summer including submitting his mission papers. He will be touring Europe for 2 weeks in July with the Crescent Super Band.

Devin has been involved with track and field this spring. He was asked to throw the javelin. He quite likes that. He will be starting spring football practice soon and hopefully will have a lot of lawns to mow this summer. Justin is training him to take over the car detailing when he leaves.

Kasey is the premier babysitter in the neighborhood. She enjoys tending the kids. She is doing very well in school and is looking forward to summer. She has enjoyed clothes shopping the last couple of weeks and has bought herself a couple of cute outfits.

Kurtis just keeps growing. He keeps getting taller. He is really enjoying Scouts and is looking forward to receiving the Aaaronic Priesthood in July. He will be going on the week long Scout camp to Maple Dell the end of June.

Kadin is enjoying Cub Scouts. He has his first Pine Wood Derby the end of April. He is anxious to get his car made. He is excelling at his reading and is on the 5th Harry Potter book!

Mason is Mason. He likes playing with the kids mom tends and loves it when someone will sit and read him a book. He likes to cut papers into tiny pieces and draw on just about anything...walls, doors, table, and oh yes, paper too! He is our little lefty.

This gets you caught up a bit on our family. We hope all is well with each of you. Happy Spring!

Prom Time

Prom has come and gone again this year. I am slow at putting pictures up. Life is busy! This was Justin's 3rd Prom and Devin's 1st. They had a lot of fun.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to Everyone!

I WON!!!

There was a drawing at Harmon's for a Razor Pocket Mod electric scooter the first of the month. We all put our names in, but knew we wouldn't win. We NEVER win ANYTHING! Well, Diane won! The kids have had fun riding it around, but we don't have anywhere to keep it, so I am trying to sell it. Kasey wants to keep it. She says we never have anything fun and if we do we just get rid of it. Oh well. She will be happy if it doesn't sell.

Kadin's Baptism


Saturday, March 8, was a busy day for all of us. Among the activities that day, and most important of all, Kadin was baptized. We are so proud of him and his choice to become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Thanks to all who came to support him and to those of you who couldn't come, but supported him in your thoughts.
