Graduation Celebration

Three girls from our church graduated this year.  Even though they went to different schools they thought it would be special to have a party together....and it was awesome!
 
 Grace, Chantel, and Joanna
 
 
 

Each girl had a table of accomplishments on display.  It was so interesting to learn more about each one.  This is Chantel's table. 
 
I thought her sign was so cool!

Joanna's table
 
 
There was a playground for the younger children...and a softball field for the older ones.  They are picking teams here.

Each of the graduate Dad's said a few words before we ate PIZZA.
 
 
 
 

 
 
 

Volleyball, anyone?



 
Half way through the party there was a downpour.  Thankfully it turned down the heat.  Then this beautiful rainbow formed.

The Branding

Hope and I flew out to see Justin and Kaitlyn on Thursday morning. The Amalongs and Strites came that night for a delicious enchilada supper! On Friday we went to "The Branding" at the Isaacson family ranch.  
 


 
 
 
Justin, Jaylon, Jenny, and Micah did all the grilling for the potluck lunch.

 
We enjoyed playing 9-high after we ate!

Grandpa and Grammy happened to be out in AZ for the same weekend because Grandpa was asked to perform a wedding ceremony.  They spent the night at Kaitlyns with us on Sunday.  Monday afternoon Grandpa went and rode with Justin in the swather.  He is a farm boy at heart.
