Catching Up: Part 5

DYLAN WENT on his mission! He is serving in the Ghana, Accra mission which is in West Africa. He left on May 4th and went straight to the MTC in Ghana. We're very proud of him and there will be more pictures to come.  Here's a video of him at the airport boarding the plane.  I still tear up when I watch this. :)

Devynne came home from Texas to see her brother off.

DAKOTA PLAYED volleyball on the JV team at Eldorado and then partway through the season they bumped him up to Varsity. He caught on and displayed great skill in the sport which both surprised and pleased the coaching staff. In addition to playing volleyball this past spring Dakota also completed his Eagle Scout project.

Catching Up: Part 1

IT'S BEEN A YEAR since my last blog posting so we're going to catch up on key events. Starting with my trip to Wyoming and South Dakota last August. I visited with my parents and my siblings and had a great time. I spent a few days in Cheyenne and then a few days in South Dakota with my dad, Rita, Lamont and Justi, and Royce and Amy. It was for the Kurtenbach family reunion and it was my first time. I had so much fun with family and with sight seeing. We went to Crazy Horse, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park (which is where we stayed) and Camp Bob Marshall (where the reunion was held).

Devynne's Engaged!!

And we are so happy for her. Brandon purposed to her Monday night down on one knee in front of the temple. We are now planning a wedding and we are so excited. We just love Brandon and we know they will be so good together. Here's the ring. :)

Hoover Dam

Friday after the graduation and after Mom and InkDink headed back home, the rest of us went to the museum off of 95 and Wagon Wheel and then headed to the dam. It was a great day and we had great time. We ended the day with dinner at BJ's where we met Steve after work.

Graduation Pics

Dylan became a high school graduate on Thursday, June 16th between 6pm and 8pm. It was the first graduation ceremony for East Career and Technical Academy and it was a great ceremony. We are very proud of Dylan and we look forward to things to come for him. :)
