Remembering, with supreme and reverent gratitude, those whose lives have been changed by their service to country -- and the families of those who never returned. May God bless and assist those (and their families) who are honorably serving now.
We had an enjoyable weekend...
Weston graduated from high school on Thursday - well done son! A wet and rainy ceremony - but what does that matter when you're finally done with school !?! ...at least for the moment. He's looking for career suggestions. He has the Stake Youth Pioneer Trek in Prescott, later this week. ...and then we have the annual Orme Brother's hike up in Utah this year next month.Trevor surprised us all by secretly flying in from Columbus, OH for 
Weston's graduation. And coincidentally (or not so,) Trevor's girlfriend (Jasmine) came to town with her roommate for the holiday weekend. Jason (nephew) and his lovely wife were also in town. So we called Jenny (niece) and got together for an afternoon. Sorry no photos -- we were too busy visiting and grilling Jasmine.

Bridget had a great year at school – tennis team, track (won City) and 
friends-o-plenty. She is 'coming into her own' as they say, and looking forward to high school next year. She will be running in the Wasatch Back (180 mile, 24-hour relay race from Logan to Park City) June 18
& 19 with Lana’s sister, Lori, and a team of runners from her office. 8-person teams, each person runs 4 legs of 4~8 miles each, taking naps in the team van between turns. I hear that it’s a blast (if you’re a runner of course.) Then she is going to EFY (in Flagstaff) with friends the following week.

Lana completed her Certified Nursing Assistant class, but has discovered that she can't bring herself to enjoy changing adult diapers, giving sponge baths to perfect strangers and some of the other tasks that are typical CNA duties. She has also postponed her phlebotomy course, hoping that she will be offered a full time teaching position for the upcoming school year.
Oh, and the chihuahuas returned home to Florida (thank goodness!)

Got a little concerned when mentioning "grilling Jasmine" on the BBQ-laden Memorial Day weekend. Lana, I hear what you're saying when it comes to complete strangers & sponge baths...er, there's many a not-so-complete-stranger that fit into the same picture. Another thing I'm not a fan of is catheters: Foley's, flexiseals, texas, etc. Bless you for doing this stuff. Some of us weren't cut out for it. I'm good with tubes on the north (as it were) pole, anatomically speaking.
Heaps o' love

Ha, ha, ha, Jonathan - I too had funny images of grilled Jasmine! :) I'm glad that you all were able to be together to celebrate Weston's graduation! Congratulations Weston! :) And Lana, I don't blame you for not being able to get into all the icky aspects of the medical profession. I hope a teaching job comes your way. :) You guys have such a beautiful family. I love reading all about your goings on. Keep up the posts.
Must've been the wording cause I had to reread the grilling part as well. Meeting the parents is nerve-racking enough without the fear of becoming their dinner. Horray to Weston entering the adult world and Bridget heading on to high school. Seems like just yesterday you two were just wee little ones...ahh, tears.
OH - COME - ON !
I didn't mention anything about a BBQ ! ! !
...although we were BBQ'ing at the time.
