Savanna

Savanna graduated from elementary school!!  No more elementary!  We figured it out and we have been at Porter for 18 years.  Kali went to kinder. at a different school.  So, our 6th and last has graduated from elementary school.  I would put up a picture but I am having down loading troubles.  She received the MASA award, which is the highest award at the school.  Porter held a 6th grade graduation and everything.  She walked across the stage and received a promotion certificate.  It was a lot of fun.  Congrats Savanna you are amazing.  By the way, Kelsey and Taylor have chosen their wedding day, September 15th.  WOO WOO !!!!

Kelsey's Engaged

 Kelsey got engaged today.  Taylor flew in from Utah and popped the question.  This is him waiting for her to get to the temple.  He sent her all over Mesa to fun places picking up a red rose and the next clue.

 She was so funny.  She went running up to him and gave him this big hug even before he asked.  They hadn't seen each other for 3 weeks.

 The big question?!

 The happy couple.

 She said "YES"

 The RING

 THE big KISS

2 dozen  roses.  It was a great day.  Thanks to Taylor for letting the whole family help.  Congrats to Kelsey and Taylor.

May Happenings

 Volleyball for Jake has come to an end for the season.  The Mesa High Boys Volleyball had a great season.

 Jake is #5.  They mad it to state.  They had to play 2 games in one night.  They beat the first team from Tucson, Canyon Del Oro.  The second team was Hamilton.  They were ranked #1.  Mesa played well and they went all 5 games but lost by 3 in the 5th game.  boo
