GRADUATION DAY!

Parker was excited to receive awesome luggage for his soon to come LDS Mission. I wondered if he'd like it, but he loved it!
Parker also got a very nice and compact sized camera....for his adult life experiences...mostly his soon to come mission. He loved it and immediately started using it!

Here they are...the Pocatello High School class of 2011! Parker is on the left side on the far left side 3 rows back.
Hayley was singing in the choir...very emotional day for her too! She is on top row all the way on the left on the end.

Grandma & Grandpa Young with Parker just before graduation. It was a windy chilly day. Parker was so glad they were there!

Hayley, Parker & Mom. Wow, how did I get these tall kids? Time has just gone too fast. One down & one to go....for graduation that is. I love these 2 so much! It was a very nice day.

Senior Assembly! Seniors last big HooRah!

Parker and Hayley pose outside the school. Hayley really loves her brother and is having a hard time realizing he's not coming back next year. This has proven to be pretty hard on her. How lucky that they are such good friends!
Parker poses outside following the Assembly. He beatboxed at the assembly and brought the house down. He dedicated a special bit of his performance to Hayley - immitating her saying "Oh My Gosh" in her little voice & then beatboxing at the same time. The kids all screamed and cheered! These 2 have left their mark on Poky High!

Jace England, Hayley and Parker. Quick little pose by the Auditorium. Hayley has lots of senior friends that she'll miss!

Parker with Jace and Jordan. Oh high school is over...so many fun times!

LAST STAKE DANCE TOGETHER...

Parker & Hayley head out to their last stake dance together. Soon he graduates and she's on her own. This one should be fun!

Last Band Concert of High School :-(

Parker and Hadley are very good friends. Hadley is a junior and sad that his buddy will be leaving him shortly.
Parker with Justin Lee, Kerry Burnett & Krys Freeth. These 4 have had so much fun together. Actually Krys got here in their junior year. All the bus rides and rooms shared and many many competitions!

Jordan....what a funny kid! These 2 have just grown up together.

Good ole' Mr. Beckstead saying goodbye to his seniors! This is a big group of seniors for the band to lose. Next year should be a bit interesting....they'll be missed!

Spring Fling Choir Concert

During the Spring Choir Concert Hayley had a solo in "Les Miserables"
She did an amazing job - but it was 6 minutes long, so I couldn't upload it for you to hear. She auditioned for the show choir next year "Gate City Singers" and made it!!!

PARKER GOES TO PROM!!

Parker learning a little scoop move...She's one brave girl!
Jeron does the dip to Marrie...he dropped her first, but I didn't show you that...

Hayley is still a Sophomore...no going to Prom for her, but her buddy Jeron wants to take her next year! Jeron is one of her best friends. And of course Parker is her best friend of all. They give her a little smooch here before they leave!
Yeah, these 2 have so much fun together!

Here is her Chayanne (Chy) showing off her corsage. She loved it!

Parker tried so hard to match her pink! He loved going with her because she's so much fun and they are really great friends - no pressure, just a night of FUN!

This was the little group of 4. Marrie made her camo dress - it was actually quite beautiful! Jeron had a bit of a tough time matching her! They played lazer tag for a day date and had Chinese food for dinner. This is a fun group of friends!

HAYLEY TURNS 16!!

Hayley's best friend Kylie and the funniest kid in the world - Weston...having a blast at the dance.
Parker poses here with some of their friends at the dance. It was such a fun night!

Here is the amazing cake in all it's glory!! It was quite the hit! Nicole did a great job- she's a good friend to do this for Hayley.

Hayley got kidnapped at 6am to out with friends for a birthday breakfast! Kyrstin Akai and Angie McKee are about to blindfold her with this red shirt.


Here is the set up for her birthday bash! I work with Jennie and her family runs a DJ & Sound business on the side. Here they are setting up for the dance! It was really amazing!

Hayley poses in front of her cake! Mom's friend Nicole is a cake baker for weddings, etc. She made this awesome zebra cake for Hayley. It was such a hit that night!

She blew out the candles so fast....just couldn't get her in the act! But she did it!

At the party there were about 68 kids who came....Holy Cow! Quite a Sweet 16 bash!!

Mom cuts the cake...it was kinda sad...

Luckily we cut it when we did....there was plenty to go around. Kids were a little full from the nacho's and chips and treats they'd been eating all night!
