May 2023


Given and others in the fam when to Isaac Harrison's baseball game and mission call reveal.
Looking good, Kaleb!

We went to baby Max's baby blessing (Sheldon and Abbey's) in Smithfield. Got some fun time with Genni (Andre and Traci's) at their house after church.

Prom day...
Which was also Senior pictures day for Averly (thanks mom!)




Nicole and Averly were each others' prom "date". They turned away boys so they could party together all day.








Kaleb taking a break from his prom date to get these great pictures

Hayden's a lucky guy!

Kaleb and his prom date, Amarah Maughan.
Prom group: Amarah, Kaleb, Marie Turner, Bridger Nef
Because Averly went 5 years without a boyfriend, she was rewarded with $100 for each of those years. $500 total. Nice!

More of Averly's Sr. pics




And prom pics with Nicole



Happy 14th birthday, Hayden!

Culver's for birthday lunch - yes please!
Kaleb, Verity, and Hayden playing Averly's balloon game gift for Hayden. It's like hot potato, but the water balloon pops on someone randomly. Hayden got wet every time :)
The annual Hillcrest Seminary Hot Dog Sizzle. Great turnout, great weather! Great fun with lots of family helpers

Senior awards night. Averly thought she wouldn't get anything, but she got a ton of awards! NHS, BYU-I, Utah State scholarships, Summar Cum Laude recognitions. Way to go, Aves!!

Tennis awards night. Kaleb earned his first tennis letter this year!
Way to go, buddy!

We went to Isaac Harrison's temple endowment. About 3/4 the way through the session, Given had a panic attack. These are the men who helped him through that for about an hour and a half. Given is okay.
Silly family kitchen antics - all the love we could wish for!




One of our final school-lunch outings together. Dad, Kaleb, and Hayden, one last time going to (where else? Culver's!)
