Provo students go above and beyond in community service

Provo students go above and beyond in community service

Ty was nominated a serving senior for his high school.  But one thing they neglected to mention is that he spent countless hours serving with Donny B. as asst. athletic trainer for Provo High.  That is where most of his service hours lie.

Provo High School Graduation

29 May 2013

Here are the graduation announcements we used.  I just couldn't make up my mind which one to use so I had 2 different ones made.  Thanks LORI for making them!

Tyler's senior pictures

The awesome Nathan/Lori team took Ty's senior pictures.  These are some of my favs... I really loved how some of them turned out.  Love how you can see the cute dimples...

...to the redwood forest...this land was made for you and me part 6

We packed up and left for home (4  April) a little earlier than planned so I could be back for school. (I could only miss 3 days during the semester or I'd get a B. (no judging)  Missing the next day, friday 5 April would've put me at 4 days and I just couldn't chance it)  And it turned out it was perfect timing anyway, we were ready to come home.

The next morning (1 April) we left to start our real vacation...seeing the redwoods and staying in a little time share (some nice people in our ward gave us a few days as a gift)  It was super fun.  Crowded but fun.  The drive was beautiful and winding roads...almost sickening roads.  It took a long time to finally get to Nice (pronounced niece).  Clear Lake is what the body of water is called.  We went fishing the day we got there, had a bbq (the place furnished every suite with one).  Ours was a 2 bedroom (although we could've gotten away with a one bedroom even with all 3 of us...there was a hideaway bed in the living room).  And if we would have had a 1 bedroom..we would have been right on the lake.  We were surrounded by tons of families and little kids (which was ok...I guess...just tons of noise).

The next morning (2 April) we drove through Napa valley and saw amazing (bachelor talk) vineyards, just gorgeous!  Cute quaint little towns until we got to the Avenue of the Giants self guided tour.  Super fun!  The redwood trees were ginormous and would tower over us.  Several places we stopped to take pictures.  It was fun to meander on our own schedule.  You would be just awe struck at the magnificent trees.  We were.  You have to be there to actually appreciate the largeness...

 Fishing at the hotel in Nice, Ca.  Wow Brian looks superb in this photo.  

All these were taken with his phone camera.  Switching between computers is a pain, so this is what uploaded first.  

Driving to Nice (Pronounced like niece) took forever it seemed.  But it sure is beautiful!  Driving ANYWHERE in California is beautiful.  It was a great trip!

 Humbolt Forest.  The driving tour.  Magnificent!

 Fallen tree. perspective 

 Found a slug...hey it matches my shirt.

This fallen tree that we're on was uphill.  You can't really tell from the picture.

This house was built funnily..Brian will have to explain it...He and Ty went..  I opted not to because of my ears.  I get sick with anything messing with my equilibrium.
