McKay Back to School Pictures Freshman Year

McKay Seminary Open House

I can't believe McKay is starting seminary! He had open house where he met his teachers and learned what to expect.

He has a huge class of freshmen. 

 

These two ladies are so awesome! I think McKay is going to have a great year!

Back to School Dinner 2024

We couldn't do our Back to school dinner the night before school like we normally do because dad was out of town. So we did our Harry Potter birthday celebration. We finally did the dinner Sunday night. I got an apple cookie cutter so we could make apple shaped rolls. 

Apple theme.

Cooked the rolls looked more like pineapples. We might need to work with them a little...

We also had frosted lemonade, which is so yummy!

It was a fun night to celebrate back to school. We had already done our Back to School family home evening with a lesson and Father's Blessings last Sunday. 

Scout Service-Spreading Mulch

McKay helped his Boy Scout troop spread mulch at the church where they hold their meetings. 

 

First Day of McKay's Freshman Year!

McKay woke up ready for his Freshman year of high school! We did our traditional ABC pancakes. 

Our friend Kaitlyn Newman started teaching this year and her room is by a couple of McKay's classes. She got a picture of him in the halls for me. I am sure he wasn't embarrassed at all...:)

He had a "good/boring" day, since most teachers were only explaining process and procedures. We are praying that the year is wonderful!

 

Harry Potter's Birthday 2024

Traditions get more and more interesting every year. This year on Harry Potter's birthday, Dad was out of town and it was the night before McKay started school. We changed our normal back to school dinner and we did the Harry Potter party. 

We had bangers and mash for dinner. This isn't in any of the Harry Potter movies, but McKay loved it in London, so we had that. 

Of course we always have to have Harry Potter birthday cake. I made a small one, since there weren't very many of us around.

All the traditional HP treats. 

We recently had a HP movie marathon, so we decided to do Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them. The boys like it a lot. 

We are loving having Palmer around this summer!

McKay, Jake, Jack and Blaze

McKay has some great friends. He has spent most of the summer with Jack, Jake and Blaze. He also loves Finn and Caden. This was at Jack's 15th birthday yesterday
