Graduation

ALAN GRADUATED with his Bachelors! Before graduation we had a BBQ to celebrate both his graduation and his sister Janelle. I made a cake for him. The blue part is a cap. It reads graduation to the U. (Don't worry he will always be a BYU fan).
Here is a picture of him and his sister.




Alan was asked to speak at graduation. On both sides of the stage they project the speaker on big screens so people can see from the back rows. It was really cool to see him up on the stage. He did an awesome job. His talk was really good. I will post it later for those who could not be there to hear it.




All who attended.

Alan's Award

On July 10 at 7 in the morning, Alan was invited to attend a breakfast with the faculty to receive an award. The accounting department voted on 5 students who they thought contributed and added to the program.
This is what they gave all the 5 students as a gift from them. They had a different teacher say a few words about why each student was there. It is really awesome that everyone would think so highly of Alan. I am really proud of him and the effort he puts in.
One funny thing that happened was as we were leaving a teacher told Alan "just letting you know your dad didn't vote on who would be the 5 so it wouldn't be bias."



Relay For Life


Alan partcipated in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life on July 11. Everyone that was involved got a shirt. We took a picture of him in his shirt. He didn't take pictures of the all night event or others in the group. It started at 6:00 pm Friday night and went until saturday at 8:00 am. He walked about 8 miles total with all the laps he did.
Thanks to everyone who donated helping him reach the goal.

Hair Cutting


Alan cut Ryan's hair (his brother) for his senior pictures. It turned out good.

Fourth of July


We went to the Rexburg parade in the morning (last two pictures). Then in the afternoon we had a bbq with Alan's family and Thurman family. Then we went down to Idaho Falls to watch the fireworks (top picture)
It was a fun day. We always love to see fireworks.





New Niece


Alan's sister Stephanie had her baby on monday. She is so tiny and cute. It was a little girl.

Speaking

On Monday Alan got a call from the school wanting to schedule a time to meet with the Dean of his department. So he scheduled one for Wednesday morning. Well he went today and as I guessed, they asked him to be a speaker at graduation. It will be cool to see him up there on the stage.
