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. 

Deacons band

Deacon has really grown as a flutist in band this year. I am shocked at how well he has picked up music, reading music, and playing the flute. He had his concert the same night as Cavins orchestra concert so my dad and Rags went to it.

I am glad that he is enjoying music and learning something other than sports! 
We found out he made varsity band for next year as well. He is developing into an all around versatile kids with his academic achievements, band, and sports. I look forward to seeing what he can do. 

Channings Choir

Channing has blossomed and developed in choir this year and done a lot of great things. She had her Choir pop show a couple weeks ago and did a great job.

They had some cute songs they performed. 
She loves singing with Jenna.
She also found out she made the Forte group and Acapella for next year!! Only 5 freshman kids made it! I am really proud of her and love that she likes to sing! 
Her cute friends brought her this welcome poster!
