The Post-Season

The post season for Spring sports is in full swing.  Tess and Amanda competed at the State Water Polo competition.  Their team placed an amazing 3rd (the best of any Auburn team ever!).  Both girls were selected as all-state second team.  This was quite an honor, especially for Amanda who is a freshman and has only played water polo this season.   Tess has worked very hard this season to become the best goalie in the SPSL...great job ladies.  

Seth ran in the West Central District track meet this weekend.  He was fortunate to advance to state in three events:  the 1 mile, 800 meters, and 4x400 relay.  We are so excited to see how he does next weekend.  His "speciality" is the 800 meter run, we are sure that he will do well.  

As we mentioned previously, graduation is on June 13th, and the whole family is excited to experience our first "round" of kids graduating.  We will have at least one child graduating every year for the next five years.  We will have a one-year break and then Evan and Alyssa will graduate.  What will we do with an empty house?  Our family reassures us that it will not really be empty.  We do look forward to the changes that we will be experiencing over the next few years, and we will keep everyone posted on those changes!

Stay tuned for more photos and news about next weekend's state track meet!

The Heritage and The Prom.

Spring has sprung, and the school year is beginning to wind down.  With the end of the school year comes Prom, Graduation, and college plans.  With this post you will see pictures of Seth the night of prom.  It was a bit nostalgic to see Seth in his tux, date by his side heading of to the prom.  

Graduation is June 13th.  The ceremony will be held outdoors at Auburn Memorial Stadium.  We are excited for Seth and Travis to graduate, we will be sure to post pictures on this blog.  We are hoping for good weather, since it is an outdoor ceremony.  With the weather here, there is probably a 50-50 chance for rain.

Travis has been notified by BYU that he is the recipient of the "Heritage" scholars

hip.  The scholarship is a four year scholarship.  Travis will have to maintain a 3.85 GPA to retain the award.  We are very pleased and proud of his hard work.

Both Seth and Travis have begun preparing for their missions.  The process is mostly electronic, and they will be ready to "send in" their paperwork early in July.  We are excited for them, and look forward to finding out where they will be serving.

Tess and Amanda are heading off to the girls state water polo tournament next week.  We will be taking pictures and posting results of the event.  Tess is an amazing goalie, and Amanda is an excellent player, one of the top scorers on the team.

Finally, Seth goes to districts in track.  He will be running the 800 meters race and the 4x400 relay.  In the pictures posted, you can see the 4x400 team.  They are each holding up four fingers...its a boy thing!

Happy Mothers Day!
