This is the quote........

(As found in The Spectrum on 5/23/12)

He was thrilled!

(A fun side note: his Mom was also quoted in the paper on her grad day 21 yrs ago :)

By the way we hope everyone received one of these...............

(if not let me know)

Graduations 2012

Well it has been a busy May for Oldest at our house. Lots of accomplishments, family and fun!

First was Seminary Graduation on the 13th (Mother's Day). G'ma & G'pa Wilkinson came down for the program. It was very nice.

High School Graduation was on the 22nd.

He was feeling the love even before the BIG day!...........

A sweet sister in our ward made him a candy lei and a money lei (She even crocheted the flowers that it is attached to)

He had the idea to decorate his cap and it turned out great and was a BIG hit!

(I couldn't resist putting this pict in........he is so cute and was being good for having to sit for a couple hours confined)........

We are so proud of him!

Hugging his good friend Shayne after he walked the stage............

Lots of friends..................

TONS of family....................

CONGRATS Oldest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sr Ball 2012 (or the Last Dance :(

So Oldest went to his last BIG dance (just another last in the list of many this year) of his High School career last weekend. 

He decided to pick his date up on a tandem bike. It wasn't working so well he tried it out on his sister and her BFF J.......

Dad fixed it up so he could get back w/his date, but the chain feel off on their way back. Which is why I don't have a picture of them on it.

But here they are on their day date...............

A GREAT BIG Slip -N- Slide!

All the kids in their group (11 couples) got together and soaped up and watered down a huge tarp at the park and just had a blast! 

(So glad they let this ol' mom intrude long enough to take some fun pictures :) 

Middle has been making is corsages for him this year, and this time was no exception. She also talked to his date and made the boutineer.

She definitely got her creative juices flowing this time.............

What do you think?

For dinner they decided to splurge since it was the last big hurrah for most of them and went to the Olive garden. 

And of course Oldest decided it was important to go in style...........

......and in comfort!

So Oldest liked what Middle did withe corsage and boutineer, but his date REALLY liked them and appreciated what she did a little bit more then he did.

They also said that their waitress liked them so much she took a picture so she could copy the idea for a wedding (I told him he should have given her our number so she could make and sell them to her :) 

Roses 2012

Aren't they beautiful?

Stay tuned for more ( Well later :)
