It is time to haul hay again. Thank goodness for Dave, Christy and the girls! They were a big help. Jackie (Sarahs friend) helped today. And of course Amy! We are so glad that there is only one field to harvest instead of three with one of them being huge. It will make the summer a little less overwhelming.

Father's Day

Yesterday we celebrated Fathers Day. We enjoyed a dinner together and after different kinds of pies. The boys played tape ball. I am including some pictures. Notice the intensity on their faces. We missed Nathan, Claire, Norah and Ryan.

Last Thursday Amy graduated from high school. I no longer have any children in public schools. That means no more back-to-school nights, parent-teacher-conferences, lunch money, and everything else that goes along with that. I have mixed feelings. I am grateful that all of my children have graduated from high school and have done as well as they have but I am pretty sad that everyone is growing up and leaving me.

We had a great day with Amy. Here are a few pictures. She went to the senior bash which lasted all night. Congratulations Amy!

Pictures with my camera

I took some pictures with my camera yesterday. I am trying to learn how to use it better. Here are a couple of them:

Sharla's graduation

Today Sharla graduated from Utah State with a degree in social work. We are very proud of her and her determination to accomplish this goal. Scott, Amy, Ben, Sharla, Claire, Norah, Daren and I were there. Ryan attended the morning session of graduation. Here are some pictures.

Barbeque

Nathan left for Nicaragua this afternoon for three weeks to do volunteer business training with some businesses down there. Then Nathan, Claire and Norah will fly to New York to stay the summer for an internship. We wanted to have a barbeque and get together before Nathan left. It was raining and cold Wednesday, Thursday and Friday but later in the afternoon the clouds left and we had some sunshine even though it was still cold. We built a fire in the fire pit and cooked hot dogs and grilled hamburgers on the grill. It was a lot of fun and everyone came! Nathan also invited Quin and Paul and Melanie (with Penney).

Today I went to an invitational track meet at Taylorville High with Amy and she ran the 1600. She did terrific and dropped her time by 10 seconds. Her ankle is doing tons better!

Amy's last dance in High School--the Jr. Prom

Amy went to the Jr. Prom this evening with Joey Day. Here are a couple of pictures. Dad and Scott have been installing new cabinets all day in the rental house in Logan. When they finish them I will get a picture to post. We (especially Scott) have been putting a lot of time there painting and it is looking and smelling lots better. It will be really nice when it is done.
