Super Dad

Our house at the end of the rainbow.

Last track meet for Jhett and Hyrum.  Hyrum had the furthest javelin throw at all of his meets.

Sporting a new "do."

Celebrating Talmage's birthday a month early since he will be at FSY.

Loading, Unloading, fixing, driving.  He's the parade man!

After their first campout, the deacons ALL got sick.

Bryant is looking good!

Prom, Javelin, Baseball, and Birthday Party

 

Prom was preceded by Spirit Week.  Sariah made an awesome "Soccer Mom" and even took Rex and Lyle to their baseball game that night and froze in the rain and wind.

Addysin Lee came over to work her magic on the girls' hair and make-up.

Sariah, Angel, Reichert (before he picked Olivia up), Jacob, and Kennadee

The best looking guy and girl!

Start of Spring Sports

Talmage initiating his dutch oven with a beef roast.  He worked for a couple days to get his dutch oven seasoned just right.

Hyrum on his first camp out of the year up the Tucanon.  (He actually chose this over the wedding festivities and couldn't have been happier.)

He came home and slept from about 4:30pm to 5:30am the next morning.

All in for the polar plunge!

First baseball game--thanks Papa for getting us to our practices and games!

Rex's sliding strawberry from the first game, but he was safe.  OUCH!

Hyrum and Jhett at their track meet on a beautiful day.  Hyrum won the javelin with a PR of 109 feet!

Following Sister Hawkins Family Motto: Pray together, Read Scriptures together, Eat together, Work Together and Play together.  Saturday, the kids helped James take out the two original rows of raspberries, washed cars and did their chores.  In the evening, they had a hot dog roast and played badminton.  They started out with a big person and a twin on each team, then Rex and Lyle took on Dad and Talmage and won.  Sariah and Hyrum came home early from youth conference to play too.

 

Makaley Gets Married!

 

Float Meeting and debut of float outfits.  James was a great sport to fly as the solo parent to that meeting.

Sariah, not a fan of golfing.

Mail order Prom dress arrived.  Sariah's date on suspension for an after soccer game fight.  We will see how this all pans out.

Makaley's reception with the girl cousins.

What a great looking duo!

Sariah on hair duty for the Specht girls on the day of the wedding.

And set-up and transportation duty.

Waiting at the temple on a picture perfect day.

Mr. and Mrs. Roach!

Meanwhile, in Guatemala.
