Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day weekend looked a bit different this year. Jentry claimed the cabin with six of her friends, so the boys and I stayed in Orleans. 

We had great fun browsing the antiques at my mom's neighbor's she shed.

We spent a little time at the lake and soaking in the warm sun in the cove.

Sunday afternoon, we took in the views from the Hamilton's back yard and the boys got to do a little shooting too.

Mom made lots of yummy food for us all and we enjoyed the beautiful evening on the deck. Tucker had great fun with his furry friend Oreo.

We met Papa and Grandma at the Sno Shack in Alma before we headed back to Sutton. Anna served us some some tasty treats.

Class of 2026

It seemed as if we talked about graduation for years and then just like that May 9, 2026 came and went like a shooting star.  It was a fabulous day of celebration. Jentry did majority of the planning and preparation to make her vision come to life and I simply tried to stay out of her way. 

So many friends and family came to help Jentry celebrate and I could not be more proud of the young lady she has become. I am confident that she is ready for this next chapter of life and can't wait to see what God has in store for her.

6th Grade Zoo Day

Unfortunately, I did not get to join Mason on his field trip to the Omaha Zoo but thanks to my friend Amy I got some great pictures!

Last Day of School

From Jentry's first day of school in August 2013 to her last day in May 2026, this girl has grown in so many wonderful ways and achieved great things. She is ready for new adventures at GCU and God knows her path.

Senior Sunday

Our church celebrated the Seniors last Sunday by having them share a few pictures and their favorite scripture. They were gifted a new Bible and wooden handheld cross by Miss Audrey.  

For I know the plans I have for you, declared the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. - Jeremiah 29:11

Rylan, Mia, Jentry, Laurel, Kyla, Jacob

The Baccalaureate service at school that evening was also very well done. The new pastor from the Emmanuel Reformed church gave a fantastic sermon and encouraged the students to remember the One, the Why, the Way and the We. 

The class video and pictures of all the years shared made me so grateful for our Sutton community and the classmates and friends that have supported and loved on Jentry these past 14 years.

Girlfriends

Jentry and her besties had professional pictures taken to capture this wonderful moment of time in their senior year. Excited for what the future holds and yet not ready to say goodbye.

These friends have been such a blessing.
