Memorial Weekend and the Begin' of June 2016

May/June 2016
This was Saydee's first time out to the Veteran's National Cemetery where her Great Gma and Gpa Jackson's rest.
 We put pin wheels on their headstones to remember them, it's always fun to watch them spin in the wind.
 Josh putting his pinwheel in just the right spot.
 Then it was Brooklynne's turn to put Gma Donna's in.
 Saydee didn't quite know what was going on but she sure had fun running around.
We all had to keep a good eye on the busy active little runner.
 Saydee liked to play with the pin wheels as well.
The visit was a nice way to remember what Memorial Day is all about and why we celebrate it was a day(s) off of school and work.
 Grandma Donna and Grandpa Glen's Headstones.
We love you both and all of our many hero's and Veteran's that bless us with the freedom's we have today as US citizens.
Jarom's Best Bud through the Scouting Years Layton Terry had his Eagle Court pf Honor.
 This was Jarom's first time being able to sit in the Eagle's nest at an Eagle COH.
Layton asked both Br Ryan Willis and Jarom to speak at his Eagle Court of Honor. After Jarom briefed everyone on What it means to be an Eagle, Jarom spoke of some fun memories of them going through the Scouting Trail.

-Starting our Scout Camp outs with a bang at Zombie Invasion.
-Getting into a car accident with Br Woodson on our way to the lake to practice canoeing.
-Our famous Lawn Mower Skit we used for pretty much every Court of Honor.
-After almost capsizing on our Blake Island Canoe Trip from being caught in a wind and rain storm- getting stranded at a Federal Government Facility waiting for our ride home.
-Your frozen feet nearly frost bit on our cold weather snow cave campout to Paradise on Mt Rainer.
-Putting in a years’ worth of community service in for Josh’s Eagle project building a rain garden.
-Eating in luxury at campouts with Br Chef Grover Ramsey’s gourmet cooking.
-Our three course meal fundraiser complete with fillet minion we were waiters at.
-Dealing with an entire wet week of rain at Camp Hahobus.
-Frogging with Br Wright with our home-made nets only not to catch a single frog in the Payne’s frog infested pond.
-High Adventure with Randy and Br Willits feeling like we were going to fall off the edge of the cliff on our horseback riding adventure. Then Shawn encountering a bee’s nest that left him covered in bee stings. Then our Thrift Shopping Adventure and Raccoon Hats.

Young Women Fun! Ellie and Braylee...both turning 14 this month and moving into the Mia maid's class.
 We made pillow cases, it was a perfect activity and all of the girls were able to complete their projects and feel a sense of accomplishment from sewing their own.

 Brooklynne and I said our Goodbye's to The Denney Family. Marianne and Jordynne have been great friends, they are moving back to Utah...we will miss them, so sad!
We let the girls go all out with the Mud Pie at Red Robin.
 Brooke and Jordynne were dance buddies for a few years, awhile back. Not to mention Marianne is our photographer for our family pics, not sure what we are going to do about that one, she was the best...
 We will miss you and your cute family!
