2 Graduations, Playoff Game, GoKart, Physics project and Costume

 Ben and Brennen both graduated on Thursday the 19th. 
Ben from Preschool and Brennen from 6th Grade and Brinton Elementary.
They were so cute together!

Brennen received his promotion certificate, the Gold Presidential Education Award with the letter from President Obama for exceeding in at least 2 Aims tests and keeping high GPA. 
The most awesome surprise was that Brennen also won the Science Fair!! 
It was announced at graduation and that's the trophy he's holding in his hand.
We were so proud of him!! He decided to make an electric motor while Wes was in Alaska and knew he'd have to wait for help until Wes got home.  It was worth the wait and the struggle of it not working the first attempt or second but finally on the third. I love you Brennen!!

 Here we are with Brennen!  So wonderful that Wes was home this week and able to attend so many of these events.  He went into the kids classrooms for presentations with Brennen this week and Jarom and Brookly last week.  Jarom was sick with strep on Friday and had to miss the presentation with his Dad.  Wes had to make up many hours for all this support of our children the last 2 weeks:)
At the same time as graduation for Brennen, Jarom had a playoff game for Little League.  We stayed at the game for about an hour before we had to leave for graduation and Dallin and Josh and the rest of the kids watched Jarom finish the game. 
Jarom's team, the Fightin Irish, won and will play for the Championship on Tuesday night!!
Go Jarom! We love you! 
It's been so fun to watch him learn and grow in baseball. 
 He's definitely the enthusiastic one in outfield:)

After Graduation the night was still young.  Dallin took Josh to get his GoKart he bought from a friend in our Stake.  Josh had to earn the $200 himself.  He is very excited to get the new sprocket it needs to get it running!

Dallin was up late on this night doing a Physics project of making a rocket that would be propelled with water. 
The Pena's also came over for help from me for a costume for a Ranger's Apprentice for Caillou.  We worked on it for a while and it turned out great!
The kids were all up late and were sure tired the next day!
