Presten received General Sterling Scholar for HHS!



Presten was the Senior Class President and conducted the graduation ceremony. The funniest moment came right after his singing group (The Rising Sons) sang an awesome arrangement of "Go the Distance". Presten sings this amazingly high note at the very end. Right after that he had to announce the next speaker... he started to speak and his voice was still in falsetto mode, he then cleared his throat and spoke in a more bass/baritone range. Everyone laughed!!!
He was a highly decorated graduate and we are so happy and excited for him. He is going to do great things in the future.


Presten is presented one of the National Elks Most Valuable Student Scholarships. It was a great evening. The Elks Club really gave out some amazing scholarships and awards to students!

We spent Memorial Day at the Ranch!

Naomi practiced up on her bow skills!

She is really getting good!

Presten had fun target shooting with the 22 single shot.

He still has good skills!

Austen showed us his amazing skills by hitting

the pop can targets... 12 times in a row!

Tia and Naomi passed time playing cards.

Why does Tia have a spoon in her mouth?

Rick took some of us clear out to the knoll

to check on his wind monitor. He is really

excited about the possibilities of having a

wind generator someday.

(a side note: Naomi rode the 4 wheeler out

there, and Austen rode the motorcycle... that

was no small feat considering it is mostly sand

the whole way. :)

Ashli and Josh moved to Logan. It was a fast and furious weekend of packing, traveling and unpacking. Their house is so cute and fun. They are so happy and excited for great adventures!!


Austen was the lone bass player in the Spring orchestra concert. He really enjoys playing the string bass and the electric bass!
