-Graduation & Awards

Austin graduated from 8th grade! He got to lead the Pledge of Allegiance at Graduation and at the 8th grade Awards night.Our little guy is growing up! He is funny....he has been planning and dreaming about his grad outfit for a whole year :)His Show Choir group sang a couple songs for the last time.We took him to "brunch" than he wanted to be dropped off at the crosswalk so when the bell rung he could say goodbye and give all the 7th & 6th graders HUGS. So cute.

Both the boys got MANY awards, trophies and certificates. We are so proud of them. Also, for 09-10 Garrett made 7th grade representative, Show Choir and Austin making 9th grade ASB at CHS!!!!!! Well we cant leave their sisters out...they both made the CHS Intermediate Dance group. Ashley will be attending a two high schools her senior year on a daily basis!

What a life changing experience our youth got to have. Three days treking and wearing pioneer clothing, NO electronics and all their stuff had to fit in a 5 gallon bucket. Taylor, Ashley & Mark Kels sawing away. They did lots of pioneer activities. One was cutting head off the chickens and skinning them. They had a dance, testimonies and speakers At one point the Pa's & boys left the Ma's & Young Women to go to war. The girls were left to pull the wagons up a rocky hill. Ashley & Kelsey LOVED IT!!
