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!

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!

 

AZ scenary

 

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. 

 

 

 

 From take off to landing.....

Georgia Trip

I was thinking what should I post, then I remembered I haven't posted about my Georgia trip! 

A friend told us about some Georgia youth meetings, so Joshua and I signed up. Later we found out that it was going to be a YF event.  Pretty much all of our church youth group signed up, so we took two 15 passenger van loads.  We left Thursday night around 10:30pm and drove through the night and arrived late Friday afternoon. There was a service at 7:00pm. Saturday morning they had Quiet time at a gym. http://branham.org/articles/682015_QuietTime

 After Quiet time there was breakfast for everyone and a fun day of activities. They provided lunch for us as well.

   

 

 

On Saturday night they had a fancy banquet fit for a king!
 

These were our table favors.

 

 

 

 

Joshua and I were privileged to get our pictures with Bro. Joseph.
