All good things must come to an end, like Seminary, but not without a final party at Brother Parker’s home. We all watched “The Prince of Egypt” to commemorate the study of the Old Testament this year… and had wonderful BBQ hamburgers, compliments of Brother Parker and Brother Hollin! Also in the month of May was my birthday… and mine and Brad’s Wedding Anniversary. We celebrated our anniversary at a nice restaurant called “The Grill” in Tupelo, MS. It’s hard to believe…
For Memorial Day this year we had a picnic at Scott County Park with the Barbers’, Holt’s, and Allen’s. The BBQ was delicious, especially with our gourmet cooks! All of the kids got along great, and really enjoyed one another’s company. I think the adults had a pretty good time too. Since it was so hot and humid, everyone was up for a game of “Water Balloon Toss”. From the looks on some of the kid’s faces, you can tell…
Because we got out of school early this year (no snow days to make up!), we had the opportunity to go with Brad on one of his business trips down South. Aubrey stayed home because she didn’t want to miss out on all of her end-of-school parties.

Next, was 5th Grade Graduation, which is also a big deal in KY. Here is Merinda’s certificate showing that she passed 5th grade and can now advance to Middle School next year. Merinda won a $20.00 gift card to Walmart for an essay…
In May both Aubrey and Breck had their end-of-year band concerts. Both kids also had the opportunity to play at Graduation again this year. The Choir also had their annual Sundae Concert in May. It was about a million degrees in the high school auditorium, and the girl in front (with her eyes closed) actually passed-out in the middle of the song. The kid’s favorite part of the concert is the ice-cream afterwards… and just visiting with friends. Breck (plaid…
For Aubrey’s Junior Prom, she went with a good friend of hers, Wesley Holt (that she knows from church), to “Mormon Prom” in Indiana (about an hours drive from where we live). These pictures were taken at Cardome Community Center and Japanese Gardens, next to our high school. Wesley was a complete gentleman, and even though it was agreed the kids would pay for their own meal, Wesley payed for Aubrey’s anyway. He also bought a new suite for the…
