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!

Senior Awards

Cavin had his last week of senior year filled with events. His first was an awards ceremony for his senior class where he got 4 awards.

He got an award for Top 10 %, College Algebra, UT on ramps, and UIL scholar award with orchestra. 
This is also his letter jacket he received last year.
He did Eagle Springs Elementary walk through as well. 
We loved ESE and are sad all our kids are now too old for elementary.

He also had his last orchestra concert and banquet.
I have loved watching him develop his talent and play over the years. He is a very good cellist and I love that he loves to play. He had an incredible year and we are proud of him!! The football team didn't do a banquet cause their coach retired, but he would have gotten several awards there and all district academic award was the top one he was given but nor presented. 

He has had a lot of things not go his way, but I am proud of him for pushing forward even amongst a lot of unfairness in his life.

Prom x 2

Cavin unexpectedly got to go to Prom twice! Not having planned either, he had fun given the opportunity and enjoyed his time. He still doesn't really want anything to do with girls at the moment, so for his Atascocita High School one when someone gave him a ticket they couldn't use, he just went with his guy friends and had a good time!

They were so funny during the "photo shoot" and I really enjoyed taking the photos they posed for. 
From serious to smiles!
This was their favorite picture :) Only heads! 
Only 2 of the boys went to the prom downtown. They all all went to dinner together and then split since they go to 3 different schools.

Ikeke and Cavin went downtown to the actual prom.
They met the boys for an after party at Joaquins after and had a good time! 

The second Prom was "Simply Prom" hosted by our church. A girl in another ward/area asked him to go with her, so he took her and tagged along with a group of his friends. 

Here is Cavin and Holli
He wanted a picture with me :)
He had a fun time at both and I am glad he is able to make these memories!
