Here is our latest family photo...from Jake's graduation. I am so proud of all my children! They are unique and gifted in their own ways!

Connor will be a Senior in Washington High School this year. He made the "Learners to Leaders" program so he starts at "STI" in Sioux Falls, in June. Then Conn will be doing half days of high school and half days of college for his Senior year. Then he plans to enroll full time at "STI". His aspiration is to become THE Mechanic of all time. He could well do it. Connor is also working at Joey's Seafood and Grill as a chef/dishperson.

Jacob has just graduated from Washington High School, Class of 2008. He is going on to South Dakota State University in the Fall...planning a double major in English/Education. Jake is currently working as a chef at Joey's Seafood and Grill in Sioux Falls. He is very happy to be done with high school...and thoroughly enjoys his job, however, he is aspiring to great heights. Jake has been writing a science fiction/fantasy/hi-tech book for the last couple years and aims to publish in the future.

Samantha has just finished her first year of college @ Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa. She was worried at first...but then her shining personality won over and she made friends quickly. Her grade point average for the first year is 3.25...so she's headed in the right direction. Sami is no longer thinking of being a vet. Now she is thinking of double majoring in Spanish/Business. She is spending her summer in Sioux Falls, having just gotten a summer position at Ruby Tuesday's.

Great looking young adults!
