Jordan's Graduation

 Ashley arrived in town Thursday night. We drove up and got the rest of Jordan's stuff on Friday morning. She's been in those apartments for a couple of years and now....all of that stuff is in her tiny room in our house. Ha! Mom and Dad and Tyler joined us for supper. We had Indian tacos and Greg made the fry bread. Afterwards we played Play Nine until Mom and Dad left. Then Jordan taught all of her favorite game, Root. It was difficult. It took us a long time. While we were still trying to figure everything out, Ashley suddenly announced she had won. !! 

The next morning we had a large brunch with bacon, sausage, biscuits, waffles, eggs, and fruit. Then we headed to Edmond. Hailey turned Jordan into a model with a photo session on campus before we went into the arena. It was the fine arts and science majors graduating so the theatre art students put a show on for us and the president gave a few short words before everyone strolled across the stage to get their names read. I am super proud of Jordan. She actually received two bachelor degrees: Bachelor of Science in Forensic Science - Chemistry and a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry - Health Science. 

Afterwards we rejoined Tyler in Norman (Jordan was only allowed four tickets for graduation) where we had Chinese buffet and then Hailey got to show off her apartment to her sisters.

It was nice having both Ashley and Jordan in Sunday School and church with us. Afterwards, we got Braum's takeout for Ashley since they don't make it as far north as Cincinnati, and then we played more games Sunday afternoon and evening. Ashley headed out Monday morning and Greg and I went back to work. Ashley has summer school and then it's her turn in August! 






Jordan had to give a presentation for her chemistry capstone. They printed her findings on a massive poster that she got to keep.





Garfield was the gift theme. We got her a graduation Garfield plush and Ashley got her a Garfield graduation keepsake. We tried to put a graduation cap on our Charley Garfield. She was not impressed.

VBS Family Night

We had an amusement park atmosphere for family night of VBS. First the kids sang a few songs from VBS and then Brother Bob presented the gospel to the parents. Then we headed in for inflatables, balloon creatures, face painting, crafts, cotton candy, popcorn, and pickles! The girls had a blast. They missed the pony rides, but were grateful that the ponies stayed home and didn't get drenched in the total downpour right before the event! Practicing while waiting on the other kids to arrive. A - Admit to God that you're a sinner and repent. B - Believe that Jesus is God's own son. C - Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. It's the ride of your life when you dare to believe in Jesus Christ!!

Vocabulary Words

After report cards came back, we realized that it might be a good idea to study for the vocabulary test instead of just the spelling words. Now we're snapping a picture on Wednesdays of the vocabulary and taking pre-test on it too. Just making sure we can read the definitions is helping a lot. Seeing lots more 100s on the test now.

Traveling

I'm amazed at how much we drive. I took this picture leaving school today. Wasn't it just a year or two ago that I took the picture of the odometer at 12345? We actually travel less than we used to. Monday and Tuesday is normally just to Elgin and back home. Wednesdays have us driving to school, Lawton, and then to home. The same thing happens on Thursday for gymnastics, piano, and dance. On Friday we just go to school and back home. Then on Sunday we go to church in Lawton. To some people that is a lot of driving. It doesn't really seem like it to me. But I guess the odometer doesn't lie.
