Coach Mike Magera! He really worked with these kids and they did great.

Griff and his family flag.

Ms. Jen is the best! "Oh boy, I've got joy, I do, do you?"

Griff with his cute teacher and his cute graduation hat!

Griffin went to Ms. Jen's Joy School for preschool. Jen is my sweet friend Julie Morrison's sister. Since I work, Julie was kind enough to help me get Griff to and from school. I helped when I could. She is the sweetest. Can't thank her enough for all she did.

Mason - 6th Grade Graduation - June 2010

Ms. Tucker and Mason giving one last hug! Ms. Tucker was an awesome teacher.

Mason had an incredible 6th Grade year. He was one 3 out of 65 students that were selected for the "Outstanding 6th grader award". He did not win. But we were proud of him anyway. Just to be a nominee was awesome!

Another fun memory...Kind of funny to mention right after the nominee for Outstanding 6th grader...Mason was suspended from school for 2 days. When school was 2 weeks from being out, I get a call from the principal Tom McDowell. Mason had bought a pea shooter pen from a couple of kids at school for $0.50. Mr. McDowell referred to it as a "weapon". The whole thing was a little ridiculous. Mason was scared he would be grounded forever. I think he was surprised when I told him "don't do it again and go play, you have a couple days off".

Above is a picture of Mason placing his tile on the cafeteria wall. Keegan has one up there too. It's cool because this tradition started when the school opened.



So proud of you Mason. You are an awesome kid. Good luck in Middle School. I love you!

Griffin Perfoms with the Parker Show Choir - May 2010

This was a great experience for Griffin. He loved it! Melanie Hansen and Jyl Clark were his teachers. They go to our church and are awesome ladies.


Griffin singing his little heart out.

Keegan

On the last day of Seminary I sprayed Keegan with Silly string. Although he called me "inmature", He left the house smiling because his mommy loves him :) I got Mason on his last day of school, but it was outside with all the kids from the bus. They all got a kick out of it. I think we have a new tradition to look forward too!

Brad came by for a quick visit in June and here is Brad and Keegan. SMILE KEEGAN!

Keegan going up for his awesome spike! The name of this team is Storm and Brother Houser is Keegan's coach. They won 1st place and got a little trophy. They are awesome.

Keegan getting ready to serve.

These guys were hanging out one night and I had to get some pictures. These guys are Keegan's Best Friends and such a great group of kids to be around.
