Our Last High School Graduate

Landon graduated high school on May 24th thus concluding a chapter in our family's Book of Life. Instead of attending Gateway for high school, Landon chose a different path and went to Round Rock Early College High School. As he worked on completing his diploma, he was also working on an associate degree. He graduated with his high school diploma and an Associate of Arts in General Education. He hasn't quite decided on what's next, so he plans on taking a year off to work and figure out where he wants to finish college. 

The night before graduation, Landon decorated his cap last minute with a couple of Magic cards. At graduation, in true Landon fashion, as they called his name he turned towards the audience and did the biggest bow. He and his friend Jonas were the only two at graduation who performed silly stunts on stage. It was a fun graduation. We enjoyed having family in town and especially loved that Ainsley was home for over two weeks. We are very much missing her vibe at the house right now. 

Landon worked hard through high school and graduated with the grades and degree to show it. He had some amazing teachers and will probably miss a few of his teachers more than he will miss his peers. Congratulations Landon! We are excited to see where life will take you next.









We Have Ourselves a College Graduate

Ainsley graduated from BYU on April 26th! She began her college days right before the pandemic. Campus shut down before the end of her second semester, and she had to complete that semester off campus and online. There were definitely some challenging times along the way, but she kept plugging along and eventually earned a Bachelor of Arts in Dance with a minor in nutrition. She will be working for a year and then hopes to attend grad school in the fall of 2025. Way to go Kid!
