Porter's Graduation Announcements

These are Porter's Graduation announcements I made. I was almost finished and Mellissa & Chuck got here, she helped me make a star for the 'Kanab Cowboys' Logo. I thought these turned out really well, I am so excited. Of course, no one is going to get them until after the fact...but oh well. We just want to brag anyway!

Seminary Graduation

Porter Graduated from Seminary tonight. He got a 3 year certificate because he didn't finish this whole year. He had a rough time with the teacher, and he thought "Senior" meant "You can slack off". He changed his schedule so Seminary was the first period of the day, and he slept in whenever he wanted to. I'm just greatful they let him have the 3 year certificate for the time he did attend. I guess the church policy is that if they don't earn the credit during the senior year they aren't supposed to graduate. But Bro. Jensen called him the night before and told him they were going to let him participate in the graduation. I was really greatful. It made MY day! I love you Porter! You are an awesome kid...you will go far! 

Happy Birthday Daniel!

Daniel turned 15 years old today! How did this happen? Time flies too fast! My friend Kim Blake called, her step-son Kalin had a birthday around the same time, so we decided to have a joint birthday party at their house. It was supposed to be a "Girl-Boy" party, but none of the girls showed up, much to Daniel and Kalin's dismay! LOL! They played football in their huge backyard, ate hot dogs & chips, then ran amuck around the neighborhood as Kim and I worried about them. When they got back from galavanting, they played "Focker Ball" out front. Don't know what Focker Ball is? I didn't either until Porter came home one night and mentioned he and his friends had been playing it, and I found a wadded up t-shirt in a ball on his chest of drawers. Focker ball is where you get a t-shirt, wad it up in a ball and tie it like that somehow, you soak it with gasoline, light it on fire then kick it around like a soccer ball. Who thought this very safe game up? I have no idea! But if your boys t-shirts start disappearing, you'll know why.

Winter Sports Awards Banquet...& Nate's Birthday!

Tonight was the Winter Sports Awards Banquet. Porter and Daniel both did Wrestling. Unfortunately the Banquet was held on Nate's Birthday! He didn't seem to mind we all went and had dinner without him...He only required that I buy him Chinese food for him to eat for dinner! This is Porter's Last year for wrestling, a little bitter-sweet for us, since this is his THING. He really loves it and did really well this year. He made it to State and that was his goal. He really would have like to place at State, but it wasn't in the cards. They have two of the greatest coaches, Brandon Stubbs and Kelly Stapely. They have really put in some hard work and it is showing in the wrestling team at Kanab High. They really had a Great year! Congratulations Porter and Dan!
