Feeding the Ducks

Today we took, Dylon, Packer and Alex to to feed the ducks at Jensen Park - Dylon returned home to his family while I was away in So Carolina.  So the following Sunday afternoon we picked Dylon up to have one last family dinner and then off to feed the ducks.

Packer was able to get one of the ducks to eat from his hand!!!  I was lucky enough to get a picture of it!!!

Congratulations to Sam

I was able to make it out to South Carolina for Sam's BCT Graduation and I can't even begin to describe how proud I am by his choice or the changes that he has made in those 10 weeks!!

Gift from Home for Graduation

Sam has a friend, Megan who was sweet enough to get him a gift for BCT graduation and asked me to being it along to give to him.  I am ever so grateful for the good friends Sam has met and what a good influence they can be in his life.

Happy 15th Birthday to Alex

Alex turned 15 today!!!  Birthday's are bittersweet for me around here - I love to celebrate birthdays and I love decorating for them, but I always worry about how the youth feels being away from their family and friends.

Alex's family sent him a gift that came a few days before his birthday that got him pretty excited, not to mention that in March he started the count down on how many days were left until he turned 15.

Alex loves to be outside so he went up to Logan Canyon and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows on the campfire and let the boys run around the hills.

Happy Easter

It does not matter the age of a child - even at 15, 16 and 17 years old these boys enjoyed a good ole fashion egg hunt for Easter.  I am sure it was motivating when they saw all the candy and treats.
