GOOD ON YA MAGGIE!!
Finally the blog about Madge's graduation. The graduation took place on May 22nd at Kingsbury Hall. (Parking was as fun as usual)
She graduated from Everest College as a Paralegal. She received the TOP STUDENT AWARD in Paralegal.
She graduated from Everest College as a Paralegal. She received the TOP STUDENT AWARD in Paralegal.
She graduated with a 4.0 and was on the Dean's list her whole time at the college. She proved to us that not only is she the most giving and unselfish person in the whole world but she is also one of the smartest. She is now attending Eagle Gate College in Business Management.
Those of us who attended were Kim, Leslie, Val, Reen, Salagi, Amber, Laycee, Wyatt, Kaysen, Megan, Nicole, and Emily.
The graduation was quite lively as there were many proud and rambunctious families present cheering on their loved ones. It was cool that the State Attorney General Mark Shurtleff was the keynote speaker. The graduates were also escorted in and out by a bagpipe band.
After the ceremony and of course pictures we all headed to El Ranchero for a celebratory dinner. Several other family members joined us there. They were Wynn, Jeanette, Alicia, Kayla, McKennah, Nate, Jenn, Kialie, Freddy, Brooklynn, Chad, and Kevin.
(Sorry if I didnt get pictures of everyone my camera has either had dead batteries or memory full everytime I need it to take pictures - Thanks Leslie for supplying these)

Party Time
May and June passed by so quickly but we did enjoy the monthly birthday parties.
May's party was held on May 24th at the property and pavillion at Nate and Jenn's church. The kids loved the big open field and the balls and games that were there to play with. Some of the grown ups played some Bocce. Mom was able to join us as she was out of the rehabilitation. She was still in her wheel chair but was able to walk around with a walker and show off her knee bending abilities.
June's party was held on June 28th. It was going to be held at a park that we often go to but there was a major party going on so last minute scrambling took the festivities to another pavillion and property by Kim and Leslie's. Tons of good food (of course) and fun.
Val and lots of little helpers (Kialie, Laycee, Wyatt, Freddy and Kaysen) filled up many water balloons. There was a bit of organized balloon tossing and then it turned into water balloon chaos. Little Kaysen and Freddy as well as many grown ups were breaking them on themselves. Can we say hot?
Nate and Chad engaged in some wrestling for the championship belt and in true tag team fashion Kevin and Salagi got into the action. Jake acted as referee and made sure that no one was hurt in Chad's winning of the championship belt.
We were especially glad to see Don as we don't get to see him very often.
HAPPY WISHES in May go to Jayce, Loreen, and Kendall.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Treygen, Rykar, Justin, Amber, Kevin, Ashlee, Madge, Sam, and Melanie for June.
Enjoy the pictures ... some of them are actually from parties earlier this year but needed to be shared anyway ...
