Graduations - a month of WOWs

May-June 1st was a Month of Important Milestones:

Seminary Graduation

Gregory, Bishop Paulson and some of the graduating boys from our ward.
(Gregory, Taber Morton, Michael Elbaba, DJ Cook, Carson Hatch,
Bishop David Pauson)

We did it! Yeah! That's worth a smile!

Sixth Grade Graduation - Jonathan

Jonathan was one of the first Kindergarteners at our charter school,
this was the first graduating class. Congratulations, buddy!

Gregory sang a short solo during the Spring Choir Concert

Click on the video below, if you want to hear  his solo with
his choir that took straight superiors at state!

Sisters! My sister, Karen Lenore and her family came to join us
for graduation day, (and to pick up their son from EFY).

High School Graduation Day

This is a first for our family. It was pretty amazing!

It was an aha day - aha, they said if you blinked your eyes it would happen, and it's here!
