I love where we live! We have such a great community! The Fireman's breakfast is so well attended and supported! It started from just a small thing to a HUGE event! Our fireman are awesome! I called Nate to see if they wanted to come... and he was on board! He came with all 5 boys! They were hungry! Jenny was still not quite back from her month long case of pneumonia!

Mckay GRADUATES!

Wow! I didn't expect the emotion I felt as I watched Mckay graduate! When did we get so old? It's crazy to think that was just barely a little 2 year old guy...standing on my kitchen table singing "Help" with his guitar! Now he is 18 and graduating and going off to college! It was so fun to be there! Amy had a wonderful dinner for family and friends and then we went off to graduation! It was an awesome night!

Before all the events! Mckay was so darling that night! I couldn't believe that just since I had seen him last...a few weeks ago-he had actually changed and grown up even more. It was so amazing to see him! Boy I love this kid!

On his way to graduation!

Brad -Eric -Lizzy -Dallas -Becca and the kids!

Amy and Brett with their graduate!

We didn't get a picture with all of us in his cap and gown... so this works!

This is going to be one of my all time favorite pictures! What a kid!

Im' sure this will be Hal's favorite too! Love you Mckay!

Mason goes to Build A Bear!

Mason had to wait a while for his birthday surprise! He kept trying to decide where he wanted to go! First it was Build A Bear...and then he wanted a scooter! He couldn't decide! When we left the house it was a scooter..and when we got to Nate's office... It was Build A Bear! So off we went! When we got there...he only had eyes for the horse! When he saw it.. it was all over! So the Horse it was!

Ready for our adventure!

Grandpa Hal explaining how it all works!

Rub the heart on your heart...so you will love your horse!

Grandpa is showing him -where horses like to be brushed!

All done! Check out those clothes! It was BYU all the way! (no surprise there:)! First he chose the shoes...and then it was all BYU Blue!

Then we made the birth certificate! I asked him what the Horse's name was... and he immediately said "Jimmer"! I said what's his last name.. Blaze? Bronco? Nope! "Jimmer Ferdette..Grandma"! Well of course! Jimmer Ferdette the Horse! I wonder if that's the first horse named Jimmer?

Mason got a free backpack and he was in horse heaven!

We got him to pose with us..and then it was off to lunch with Jimmer!

Trey's VIP Day!

Trey was the VIP at school! Mom and Dad and Grandma and Grandpa got to come for his special day! Trey is such a good kid! He works so hard in school and is a smart little guy! He LOVES to read and sometimes his teacher will ask him to come and read to the other kids... when she is needing a break! I love how he writes in his journal! Love you Treyman!

He was a happy kid!

Grandma's 80th Birthday Garden Party

For Grandma Marchbanks 80th Birthday we had a Garden Party... It was supposed to be outside but due to the wind and rain..we ended up inside! We arrived to set up and then couldn't get in the church... It was panic time. With only 15 mins to go.. we got in there and set up as quickly as we could! Thank heaven's there was a lot of HELP! It turned out wonderful.
