It has been a fun and busy month!
Here is Part 2 in random order.
Amelia decorated her birthday cake. It has their 4 cats on it!
A fun game we played for her birthday:
Kathryn performed with the Choir and played the piano for the Jazz Band at their end-of-the-year concert.
Camille had her piano recital.
We got to listen to Sarah's band concert so we just got a screen shot with her name...
...and we also watched Camille's band concert. She is in the front row of the screen shot.
Sarah with two of her relay swim teams qualified for the state championship meet.
One of her teams qualified for the finals on Saturday, May 20th in Topeka!
Elizabeth started Home MTC!
Aubrey was promoted from 6th grade Thursday, May 25th!
Brian and MaryAnn attended a "Prom" for the teachers. It was actually a fancy retirement party for the head of HISP. Brian will now be the new director! (Is that the right title?)
Grandpa and I had fun doing this new puzzle!
It was challenging.
David was promoted from 8th grade on Thursday, May 25th.
Here is what MaryAnn put on social media: Today was David’s 8th grade promotion. He loves piano, ice cream, Zelda, and crazy socks. His favorite books are Lord of the Rings and Pride and Prejudice. He got a medal for 4.0 and the P.E. Department award. He’s always up for watching a romance movie or going on a walk with me. High school here he comes!
Hannah graduated from High School on Wednesday, May 24th.
Some of the cords represent: Top 10 Academic Achiever, Golden State Seal of Merit, and President's Award (4.0+ GPA).
Joshua's Band performed at the gradution held in the Golden 1 Center where the Kings play.
She made in on the Jumbotron!
The week before graduation Hannah was honored at a Theatre Awards night.
She was voted Best Senior, Most Dedicated and along with 5 others she got the Fat CAT award for best character, attitude and talent. All of these were voted on by her peers!
Kathryn is getting ready for her graduation in June.
At a special evening she was honored for her AP Capstone Achievement. This was a major project that involved a lot research and presentation effort!
One of her graduation presents came early: A T-shirt Quilt!
And she has already been honored at Seminary graduation!
Here she is posing with two good friends. Grandpa and I discovered that we are friends with each of those girls' grandparents!
We made a visit to Chico and Grandpa got to try pickleball, and then we enjoyed playing Banangrams. Nathaniel wasn't feeling very good, so he spent some time listening to the Unshaken podcast.
On we go every week with our Primary class! When we discussed missionary work recently, at the end of the lesson we put up this map with all of our family missionaries marked. Then we let them take turns shooting with a nerf gun to see if they could hit where they would like to serve a mission. Although some had a specific spot they tried to hit, Russia and upper Canada got quite a few hits!
Memorial Day and Grandpa worked in the temple. It was open from 7:00 a.m. to noon and every area was packed with patrons. Meanwhile the Melanchuks were picking cherries in their backyard and then attended a Memorial Day service at a local cemetery.
The Perrys went on a hike to a waterfall along the Yuba River.
Joshua took this picture with all of their shadows!
Some of the Perrys were at the temple on May 30th so we invited them for lunch afterwards!
Sam is very busy on his mission and having some good success. Here is his district in front of the Logan temple. Cambry got baptized and others are preparing!
And just today, May 31st, after being picked up by Courtney, Elizabeth entered the MTC in Provo!
What a great month it has been!
