Yes I am feeling OLD!!!!!







Holden graduated on the 20th of May at the Wells Fargo Arena at ASU it was awesome but a day that made me and Treck feel old we kept saying I can't believe we have one graduating from High School.



We are all so proud of Holden we love him so much he is a great example to his brothers and is a good young man he has high standards and follows them. We as parents do go crazy sometimes with him but in general we are proud of the decisions he always makes. He works hard and is excited to serve a mission as his next big step in life.




Proud brothers? Or just excited that they are getting closer to him leaving on that mission and them getting his room I guess only time will tell!!!!





I was so proud of myself I did not cry at all..






Grandma was very proud also this is her first High School graduate.







Proud Cousins!








Thank you to all the family that came and supported him on this day we love you all and appreciate all you do to support us.









Holden and Megan have been going to school together since preschool thanks for being such a good friend Meg. And yes we will still talk to you Megan even if you are going to the U of A!!!









A few days after graduation Holden and his friends wanted to go to California and have some fun so we let them take the car and follow us then we turned them loose. We did see them once in a while they had a great time and were good boys they checked in and even rode on some rides with us.












Never Never dare Cory cause you will lose. They told him if he would have his face painted like a cat Matt would pay for it and Holden would give him 5.00. We got off a ride and this is the first thing we saw.
























The boys called Holden and asked them to meet us at grizzly rapids ride because they knew if they rode with them they were sure to get wet!














What a group of good looking fellows!!!
















Ryker loves to swim with his Dad because he will help him do flips and dives.
















Could not resist posting this I love this picture they are so good looking. ( and hams for the camera)
















Thanks for going with us Aunt Tawni and Uncle DeWy we loved having you there and the boys love to ride with Broc. I loved getting to be entertained by Britt while everyone rode the rides I dont like.


















Camping

can you see the elk in the trees?

We woke up Sunday morning and had a sacrament meeting in the mountains so the day started great. Then we loaded up the boys and went out and enjoyed a nice drive in the mountains it was so beautiful we love to go and see what kind of animal we will come across, my boys love to see the elk they are so pretty. Holden also loves to do this but he had to stay and work but we did miss him.

On Saturday the boys were shooting BB guns at a card board box with a target on it next thing we know they get a lizard, then a crawdad, and the the next well the picture is self explanitory just so you all know they cleaned it and prepared it and then they cooked it like a foil dinner in the fire and yes they all had to eat it. They all seemed to learn a valuable lesson. (boys!!!)






While we were out for a sunday drive we came across this sign it was in memory of Great Grandpa Norton.
