End of the school year

So we closed out another year of school in our home.  It seems the school year gets shorter every year.  

Briggor ended 4th grade with an Honor Roll certificate and he earned his BV letter.  


Jade ended her first year of high school with a final choir performance.  She also tried out for the elite chamber choir for her sophmore year and she made it!!!  So excited for her!  More choir to come....


Skyler finished his sophmore year with good grades and a drivers license.  He played JV football and baseball.  


Megan enjoyed a full year of FFA and traveling to various colleges this past spring.  She has made some really close friends through this organization. 


Another year has come and gone.  So many memories.  So many friends.  So many things to come.

Slacking on the blog.....

Time just gets away from a person and you forget about your family blog.  I have been enjoying life without Facebook and it isn't so bad after all!  HAHAHA!  Most of the time I love sharing pictures of my life with family and friends.  This blog is my scrapbook of my life.

From Mother's Day until now, life has just been on go!  The last month of school was filled with Open House, Award ceremonies, celebrations and then BAM! it's summer.   Then we started summer school, errands, moving Ryan up north to school, day trips, birthdays, fourth of July and here we are with one month to go until school starts again!!!

Time flies WAY too fast!

I apologize for not keeping up on the blog.  I have promised myself that this is important to document the events, achievements, thoughts and whatever else comes to my mind.

If you are receiving this post as an email, you might want to head over here at this website:
Mendenhall Adventures and get all the previous posts and catch up with me.

If you don't want to receive my posts by email, send me an email at jewelsmendenhall1968@yahoo.com  and I will remove you from the list.

Thanks everyone for stopping by!!!!

Briggor's very first Dodger game

One Sunday morning in May, Mark decided to buy Dodger tickets for a day game.   Mark and I took Briggor to his first Dodger game.   


Walking through the tunnel with dad.  He was so excited.
