Jenna: Sadies!!

 Jenna had a great time at Sadies!! 

Jenna was in the same group as her second cousin, Caroline Williams, so that was fun! 

Jenna Homecoming

I was sad that to be gone for Jenna's Homecoming, but I am glad that she took a lot of pictures. She looks SO pretty!! She went with her friend, Sam Bolton. 

Josh: Senior Ball!!

Today was the last high school dance for Josh! I am glad that he could take Allie Lemmon, from our ward. She had asked him to a girls' choice dance earlier in the year, but he had already been asked. They went with Josh's friends Adam and Caleb Parkhurst, and Cameron Hugunin. Adam took Sarah Lyman, Caleb took Emily Condie, and Cameron took Taylor Peterson. They started off with pancakes at our house. A couple of the kids were gluten free, so I was glad that we had some gluten free pancake mix available. 

After breakfast they went to Veyo pools and to a place to try and catch crawdads. They even brought hotdogs to try and catch them. They said they only saw one, and that the Veyo pools were a little cold, but they still had fun. Then they brought their dates home to get ready and then met at 6:00 for pictures. I told Josh that Tuacahn at 6:00 would work because the sun went down behind the mountain about that time (I had been paying attention when going to Jenna's dance concert). But Cameron suggested a place in Kayenta. It was kind of in the middle of nowhere and there were two round-abouts next to each other. 

Josh had asked me to take the pictures, so we all drove to Kayenta, but it was really hot and sunny with no shade anywhere. It would have been a nice location had we done the pictures later, like at 7:30, but they wanted to do pictures before dinner. Also, some random lady came hiking up the road and said, "Do you know this is private property?" So anyway, we ended up going back to Tuacahn anyway. They didn't want to take pictures by the waterfall, and so we took them in the middle of the road, which actually looked really cool, but we kept having to move every time a car came. 

We got some nice pictures though. We had to take the rest on the bike trail instead of the road because we had to keep moving, ha ha. The kids all went to the dance and had a fun time and then went to Cameron's house for games. I came home and stayed up until midnight downloading and going through the pictures -- editing a few, deleting some, and putting an album of around 300 pictures together to share. I will put a few on this post. I am glad that everyone had a good time! 

Josh Preference

Josh went to preference with Peyton Fairchild. Their group went to the Contact Climbing Gym for their day date and then to Chick-Fil-A for lunch. Then they went to Chuck-A-Rama for dinner. They were planning on Olive Garden, but the line was too long. After the dance they went hot-tubbing at one of the girls' houses. Josh said that it was a fun day!

Josh: Junior Prom

Josh went to Junior Prom with Gwendolyn Dooley (who is good friends with Jaiden). For their day date they went sledding in Pine Valley. Gwendolyn couldn't go because she had a swim meet, but Josh still went with the group and had a really fun time. They met at Cameron's house for dinner. Josh said that it was decorated really nice for the event. The dance was held at Children's Museum in their big dance hall upstairs. Afterwards they went hot-tubbing at Hayley's house. Josh said that the date was a lot of fun!
