Memorial Day!

We spent Memorial Day at the beach with friends. I am not a beach person, but decided to forgo my disinterest for the sake of friendships. The weather ended up being nice and we had a good time.

There were so many teenage boys so lots of football and volleyball! 

Channing brought her friend Heidi with her and they spent a lot of time in the water! 

Cavins had his besties there as well. 

We wore Deacon out! It was a nice family day together. 

Graduation # 3

Finally we went to Cavins Seminary graduation from the Church Education program. He attended early morning classes at our church building every morning at 5:50 a.m. for 4 years. Even if he didn't love some of his teachers and it was a struggle to wake up, he went and he completed it. I hope it was a blessing in his life. 

They did a graduation at the stake center. 

I'm so grateful for my parents and sisters endless support and how many events they came to in such a short period of time. 

I literally made 12 dozen cookies in the last week to bring them to so many events :)

We went to his graduation group party and celebrated one more time there! There were 19 kids recognized there.

Here is his memorabilia table!

His diploma spread! 

The boys! 

They have a great group of kids! 

I am so excited and hopeful for his future! He has bright things ahead! He began his internship with Drywall Construction company for the summer where he attends business meetings and works on sites to learn skills as well. He also re-submitted his mission papers on May 24th and we are praying the church allows him to serve a mission soon. Although his future is uncertain, I have faith in him. 

Atascocita High School Graduation # 2

Cavin graduated from Atascocita High School on Saturday, May 23, 2026. It was a very stormy, rainy morning, but thankfully the weather took a small break when we walked in and when we left. It was at the Daikin park where the Astros play. It wasn't the best venue as you couldn't hear well and the audience was loud, but NRG wouldn't let us use their facility as it is preparing for the World Cup. 

There were a lot of graduates! 

He is a handsome kid and we are so proud of who he is!

It was a beautiful day. We went to Texas Roadhouse afterward to celebrate with him.

Graduation Extravaganza # 1

What a whirlwind of a graduation week!! Cavin graduated from Lone Star College, Atascocita High School, and the Church Education Seminary program all within a week! It was so fun to celebrate him! 

First was Lone Star College which was at the MO Campbell center. 

He was the only Atascocita High School student that completed his associates degree! He put in a lot of hard work over the past 4 years during summers and school years to complete it. This lady, Mrs. Stoddard was a huge influence in helping him complete it. 

He thought it was pretty cool to say he graduated college before high school. 

We celebrated at Whataburger. 

It was a wonderful day of celebration.
