These pictures are when Kaleb realized the surprise

Here's Verity realizing the surprise of Givena nd Grace coming up!

So grateful to grandparents who all came to celebrate Kaleb, too!

Hayden realizing the surprise

Great work on the money lei, Grandma Hatch!

Final Friday Night Flag game. Unfortunately, Coach Craig Anderson had to be out of town for work, so Alex and Travis Giauque (who don't know much about coaching) had to take over. We played the Chiefs, the team that always wins the championship. Our team played their hearts out, but we lost 32-19. Super fun team to help coach, though.

The boys receiving their 2nd place medals. So glad Hayden got this opportunity to be with such a great group of boys. They had so much fun!

Go Cowboys!

From a devotional mom did as we celebrated Kaleb and his graduation that week. This is what Kaleb's name means - SO perfect for him!

Flying through the Costco parking lot with Gpa Hatch

Kaleb's trip to Boise for state. He didn't get to play, but had a wonderful time cheering on his team! So grateful Kaleb got to do tennis. He loves it!
