Matthew graduation for High School May 30. What a great and emotional day for me.. and I'm sure for him too. We are so proud and honored to be his parents.

Here is photo of Matt and his 2 brothers
The High School would only allow us to get 11 tickets. So we were not able to give out tickets for our whole family to be there. (So sorry everyone)
We where blessed to have both Grandparents ( Grandpa (Jim), Grandma (Judy), Grammie (Carolyn) , and poppy (Denis)), my aunt Cindy (so Matt's great aunt), uncle Joel and aunt Shan. Matt's sweet cousin's Elena, Hannah and Rachel. and of course Matt's brothers Sam and Nathan. and Parents Jay and Kami

After the Graduation we all went to our house and had a qucik dinner before Matt went back to the school for Grad Night ( all night party at the school).

Sam 6th Grade Outdoor education.

The End of May 2008 Sam 6th grade class had a end of the year field trip, 2 night 3 day camping trip. Jason was asked to be one of the boys chaperons. They went to Westminster woods and had a great time.

here is Sam's 6th grade class



Here is a photo of Sam and his group doing one of the Challenge Course. I think they learned a lot about trusting each other and learning to work with each other, also learning that you can't do everything on your own.

WOW... and Ooopps

Well I have to say I kinda forgot about this blog.. oops so much has happened since the last time I added anything.. and honestly right now I'm way to sleep to really add anything right now.. but I will be back to add some grad photos from Matthew graduation high school. Sam graduation from 6th grade. Then our 1st camping trip of summer brake.. We are getting ready to go again. Oh and us going to the fair also.. Seems like more but right now I can't remember.
Good night for now.. see you all soon♥

Just the Two of US

I just love thess pictures of us and thought hey why not share.. I just love Him SO. My Little outdoorsman.

WOW.. He is 18 NOW

Its still hard to believe that our First baby is now 18 years old and in a couple weeks graduate's from High school. I went to his school the day of his B~Day and did this to the Bronco.. tee hee it was a lot of fun... the funny thing was Matty called his dad and asked how to take it all off so he didn't have to drive home with it on... tee hee but he had to drive home from school with it..
