Random pictures that I don’t remember the story

Before graduation for some reason. I do love the shirt. 

No idea. But she loves to go out. She also loves to come in. 

I don’t know if this was on Boaz’s trip. They stopped in SLC and Josh was there. I think that is when this was taken. Josh brought board games and they guys had fun together. 

Coast trip

The boys set off for a two week trip after graduation. They went west to Portland, Oregon and then headed toward the beach. It rained and rained and rained in Oregon. They had many adventures, one of which was crabbing. After the crabbing, they couldn’t stand the smell. This is the picture I saved of their trip. 

Waiting at the laundry mat so they wouldn’t smell of crab and mildew. 

They visited family, played in the ocean, went surfing, and hung out together. 

They planned the itinerary, meals, budget, and everything else. 

Fabulous memories to carry them through life of great friends. 

Graduation Day

It is weird. My school days are over. Boaz’s too. A joyful day for sure. 

They came in together. Boaz and his Emma. 

They came back out so I could snap a picture. Janessa, Mason, Emma, and Boaz.

Emma with Amber. A fabulous photographer. 

He didn’t know where to look. I was happy with a picture. 

Memorial Day

These were blooming at the golf course on Memorial Day. 

Poppies - glorious red. 

So many beautiful flowers. 

Final high school concert

The final high school concert. We have fallen in love with Mr Anderson. He is fabulous. He gives so much to the kids. 

It was also senior night. So I have a few pictures of awards. 

Trumpet trio. So lovely. Boaz is on the right. 

The concert choir. They were so wonderful. 

The seniors in the choir. 

All of the boys, or Sons of Helaman, were involved in either the choir or the band. 

Playing around. Ties and white shirts are choir and some in band. Black shirts are just band. 

Boaz received the Leonard Bernstein Award. A big part of that I believe was his extra effort he put into his senior project. 

The plaque. 

Every senior got a chocolate filled mug. Embossed with their name. 

Pins for his letters. 

Baccalaureate

A new meeting. A non-denominational meeting for the seniors. I had never heard of it before. 

The first speaker went on for a while. It was nice, but longish. 

The second speaker was our lovely seminary teacher. President Beyeler is fabulous. I can’t remember now more than three months later, but it was short and to the point. 

A few pictures:

The seniors that attended. 

The boys. Boaz started calling them the Sons of Mosiah. 

There is one one the end that I don’t remember. 

Boaz, Tyler, Jonah, Erik, Micah, Nate and the one I don’t know. He must be in the other ward. 

Catching up

I have gone silent as my sister, Deb, says. 

There has been a lot that happened this summer. And end of the school year. So time to catch up. A brief summary of events helped by pictures.
