I tried to get a group shot of everyone from our ward but afterwards it was a mad house. They wouldn't let the seniors take cameras ino the gym before the ceremony. We just missed 2.

Carol and Steve Blechinger this goofy couple who sat next to us. They also saved us seats in the 2nd row. Thanks Steve and Carol.





Towards the end Devin had had enough. His row was the last one to go up and get their diplomas. This was just before they started on his row. The graduation started at 7pm and ended at 9:45pm

It threatened to rain most of the night. Mostly we got just sprinkles. But this lovely rainbow decided to make an appearance.

Devin's Eagle

It's official. Devin earned his Eagle Scout. We just had his Eagle board of Review and as of June 11, 2009, he is an Eagle Scout. It took a lot of time and help from a lot of Scout masters and his dad. Good Job, Devin, I am proud of you.






My Birthday

May is avery busy month. First, Avery's birthday, then Mother's Day and then my birthday. Plus all the other getting ready for school to end stuff. Brian had made over 100 chocolate strawberries for Mother's Day. The boys helped, Devin did alot of the decorating. They were very yummy. Since my birthday was on Sunday, we went out to dinner on Saturday. Chevy's was the place of choice and I even let them sing to me, only because it helped keep Zachary in his seat. He kept wanting to go lie down on the couch by the door. Sunday morning started with breakfast in bed, sweet Brian got up extra early because he had early morning meetings. The rest of the day I got to relax. It was a great birthday.
