Soooo much has been happening, I can't keep up :)

TORY RECEIVES HIS EAGLE!!! Finally, after a long wait from the Scout Council here in Kannapolis, we received his paper work so that we could have his Court of Honor! I don't know who was more excited, him, or us! Great Job Tory we are soooo proud of you! We now have 4 Eagle Scouts...WOW! Abigail GRADUATES!!!! We have another graduate...and she immediately becomes a college student!When did this happen!!! It arrived sooo quickly. I can't believe that I have another one leaving home. OK you moms with young children, hang on to your hats because it goes by way too fast. Abigail has so many friends that we couldn't get her to hang around long enough to get a family picture...that's OK I am glad that she is well loved :) Congratulations Abigail, we are so very proud of you and all that you have accomplished, and will accomplish in your bright future! !

Abigail had a graduation party with lots of those many friends and family that she loves so much...here are just of few of those who came.

ELDER WARD Before we sent Abigail off to school at BYU with Matthew we had to send off another missionary. Our son Zachary Ward was leaving to serve a mission in Ogden UT. So of course we had to give him an open house before sending him off. Zachary is a dear friend to our boys and like a son to us. So here are a few pictures.

LETS SEE WHAT CAME NEXT: OH YES BRASIL! But that will require a whole seperate entry. Our trip to Utah was next...We took Abigail and Matthew out to BYU for summer term. We Caught up with a few friends inbetween getting the settled in...so here is a look at that :)

We had a great time seeing RM's and their beautiful families that we love and just enjoying the spirit of BYU, getting them settled and watch them just fall into the grove of college life. Now we are home with just Tory, a new adventure for all of us, one I am looking forward to. Summer will be over before we know it!
