Bucket List Trip 2026

For Mom’s 75th and my 50th birthdays, we decided to go to Branson to work on Mom’s bucket list. We were able to knock off a helicopter ride and zip lining. It was a great week! You can see all the pictures and videos in the trip album. You know I took plenty.

Class of 2026

Patrick’s graduation was a great success. We had so much fun at the ceremony and then at a combined party with Cooper. The boys had a great turn out and a fun after party with friends.

All of the pictures from graduation are here.

Band Awards Concert

Last night was Patrick’s last band concert. I got a little choked up thinking that he’ll never play his instruments in this type of setting again. At solo ensemble this year, the two ensembles he played in earned Best of Day in each room. I took a little video of it to remember. Enjoy!

We the People Finals

Patrick’s team had a great time in DC at We the People finals. His Unit 1 was first in the state, so they had high hopes to place high at nationals. Unfortunately, they did not place, but they still had a great time. They did a ton of touring of the monuments and museums. Here are the pics he sent me.

Here are the pictures the teacher sent!
