Family Time

Happy Father's Day to the most amazing and awesome father in the world. We love you!

Kisses for Daddy...

We tried a new treat for family night. Mini-smores!

1. You take mini-marshmellows and put a couple on the end of a toothpick.

2. Roast them over a candle.

3. Put the melted marshmellows and 2 milk chocolate chips between two teddy graham cookies.

Of course you'll want to eat more then one...they are tiny and yummy and a fun to make as well. Enjoy!

A night to remember...

The making of a princess...Bethany and Kelsey worked their magic.

Katie had a 9th grade celebration dinner and recognition assembly Friday evening. We can't believe she will be a sophomore next year. We had a fun and fancy dinner with her seminary friends, then they attended the assembly, dance and after party at the Lundquists.
Wow, Katie looked stunning.

Katie's description of the dinner was this: she talked to the boys, the rest of the girls were either quiet or they made awkward comments the whole time. She conceded that as the night wore on things got more fun and comfortable.

The girls...

The boys showed up first and so Katie had to entertain them for a few minutes until the rest came...a little awkward but she handled it all well.

High school here we come!

Man of the Hour

Proud Grandma Betteridge with Ben and Christian her two graduating grandsons.

Christian has had a busy weekend. Graduation was Friday evening, June 11th with 415 classmates from Curtis High School. We were so proud of him as he received a special honor at graduation, the George R. Curtis Award which is given to one graduate who exemplifies the true Viking Spirit. I think all his extra activities from Swimming, water polo, drama and music and especially his ASB leadership service really qualified him for this award. He also received several community scholarships from the Kiwanis club, the Choir Booster club and the Jim Baurichter PBA (Percieve, Believe, Achieve) swimming scholarship. WOW.

EAGLE SCOUT

Sunday evening, June 13th, we had his Eagle court of honor. We were very happy to have Grandma and Grandpa Bateman here with us to celebrate.

We loved celebrating this event with Christian's good friend, Brady Morrison and his family. It made planning of the event alot of fun. Curtis Valhalla choir sang the national anthem and the Curtis ROTC performed the flag ceremony. Christian and Brady created a really fun slide show of scouting memories and several of their leaders told some fun stories about their scouting days.
