Memorial Day 2025

(I'm realizing this post should have come before Matt's Graduation.  Let's pretend it's in the right order :)

I don't have a lot from Memorial Day but this is the gang that met up at the Avon cemetery....


Then I picked up my family and everyone met at the Millville park which was a first.  In the past we have always been at Willow Park.
Millville ended up being a very pleasant place.  Although I don't have pictures of it, they have a ton of pickleball courts and so Matt was able to enjoy playing some of the "older" guys.

Mom sent me pics of Ben on the playground with Bapa...


Andy's Birthday

The day after graduation was Andy's birthday.
We ate at one of his favorites...El Toro.


And then home for sugar free cookies and gifts :)




Let's take a moment to acknowledge Josh and his holy socks :)





The children gave him a vinyl they were pretty excited about...

Trying to get Ben in the picture...

And then I guess it was massages for Matt on Andy's birthday :)

We love the patriarch of our family!
He is stalwart and faithful in loving and providing for our family.


Matt's Graduation

Buckle up for another long one folks!







Walking into the Spectrum...

There he is in front of the piano...

Greeting his friend Tavis...



He and a few of the others made their way up to the choir seats.

The rest of the gang...

Some of our crowd...







Benji was a pretty good buddy throughout the program.




The first song...






Time to walk...

Chasen greeting his girlfriend Hope, the class president...



I have a few different sources of pictures here and it would take a lot of time to try and get them all in chronological order so I am just going to post them as they showed up from the different sources :) 












The turning of the tassel...







And then all mayhem broke loose :) haha!



Singing the school song and swaying side to side...





Chasen throwing his cap...




and then Tom following suit...



All done...

Making faces at Abby...



Finally found him in the crowd outside...

















the brothers Quilter...




being patient...





The rest of the family took off to go to the restaurant and we wandered around a bit finding friends for some pics.

Gabe Fenton!

Brother Condie

Penny Harris, Hope Spaulding, Chasen Quilter, Benji Gilbert, Seth Frost and Matt




We had a reservation at Beehive Grill for the family afterward.






Ben gave me lots of loves during the meal :)


We're proud of our wonderful graduate and are excited for things to come!
