the Graduate!

The last one, the caboose is finishing up high school, Hayden officially graduates tomorrow at 2:00 pm....yikes a new life for Marcie and Gary.
We did seminary graduation on Sunday. It was nice. We came home and I said "4 Seminary graduates, check." The Rest of the family then chimed in with the other checks off our list of to dos...3 Eagle scouts, 2 soon to be 3 missionaries, 3 soon to be 4 high school graduates, 1 soon to be 2 college graduates, etc....  Life is good!
So what has Hayden been up to? His high school has been very busy and active. For his senior tribute in the year book we noted how busy and different his interests in High School were with the quote "Why fit in when you were born to stand out?"

Hayden is a great guy with a lot to look forward to. He tells us that he is nervous about the future....he doesn't have a plan other than a mission right now....yes, he will go to college that is in the plans but studying what, is the big don't know.
I know that he could do what ever he set his mind to do so I am not worried for him.
Here is what he has been up to for the past year.

The Graduate - WSU Ap 2010

Jordan did it, he has a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration/Finance. We are so proud of him and excited that he completed this degree. He now tells us that he is going for a MBA and a JD...degree yes that is an attorney. Eventually he would like to be a CEO of a company. We are glad that he has dreams and that his wonderful wife Laurie an cute son are behind him and his dreams and endeavors. But for now he is being a great Husband and Father, working hard at the bank and taking classes to prepare for the next step in his adventure.

At his convocation for the Goodard School of Business at Weber State University, the speaker was the CEO of ATK. His talk was short and sweet. One of the the things that impressed me most about him was that he was a local boy who attended WSU and now walks the talk. He told them to strive to be not just good business people but the be in the top 20%, the best in their field. He pointed out the need for balance in their lives....to have not only a great career, and career goals, but to have goals and a great family life, spiritual life and social life....it was well said.

I am hoping that the rest of my kids will follow Jordan's lead and go for at least a bachelors degree.... Meg tells me that it will be in December 2010....and she can walk twice if she wants too since she has a double major..... Here is betting that they all get degrees!

It is always fun to see your children succeed and grow. What a happy Day.
