senior happenings...

This last week has been full of senior year activities...

The weekend started with a great dinner at the Bishop's house for all the graduating seniors and their parents. It was so fun. Our Bishop's wife made a really cute video of the bishop talking about each of the kids and then the activities committee made a wonderful dinner! Thanks Janae and Jan!

Then Saturday was Senior Prom. Ashley had great time. The boys picked up the girls early Saturday morning and they went to breakfast and then had a swim party at Christian's house... then she came home and got her hair and makeup done. She looked beautiful. Eddy picked her up around 4:00 and then they went to Brandon's house for pictures.

It was tough tying the perfect bow.





A good-looking group!


After pictures they went to the North Las Vegas Airport and got to ride in Christian's Uncles airplane! Ashley said it was so cool. They flew around the city.

The view!

After the plane ride they had dinner at Christians house... then they went back to Brandon's house and Sherwood and Lynette gave them some dance lessons. Then they went to the dance and had a good time there. After the dance they went to The Cheesecake Factory for dessert! It was a great night!

Monday night was the Senior Awards night at Bonanza. Ashley got a few awards and we are so proud of her. She has worked very hard for the last 12 years to get good grades! She was given a few awards.... Honors Diploma, High Honors Graduate, Honors Medallion Program (she got this cool medallion she gets to wear with her cap and gown) and she got the President's Award For Educational Achievement. She got a certificate that has President Obama's signature printed on it... we aren't sure where she got her smarts?? Not me, must be from John. Here are a few pictures and a video from the night...
