First Day of School: August 28th, 2024

 

Rylan was up bright and early to get to his senior parade. 
Cashmere closes down their Main Street and parents, students, and teachers line the sidewalks as the seniors make their way to the high school in funny forms of transportation. 
Ry and his group of friends arrived being towed in a boat. 

6:00 AM was way too early of a wake up for our love to sleep-in late boy. 



We drove to Riverside Park where they were all lined up. 


As he was passing us, he threw out some candy. 



Many of his graduating class.

Because Ry had to be at the parade early for the line up, Harper drove to school with us this morning. 

She was nervous but excited. 
Her schedule is hanging out of her pocket.

Our two Cashmere Bulldogs!

Las Vegas August 2024

Harper's 15th birthday

On Monday, August 19th, I took Harper and a few of her friends to Slidewaters. 
They had a great time and I hung out in my rented cabana.  
The played beach volleyball right below the cabana. 

A stop for ice cream and Pat and Mike's before driving home. 


Harper's official 15th birthday was spent in Las Vegas this year!
Right at midnight, August 23rd. 
We were waiting for Logan and Presley to get home from Blake Shelton's bar. 

We had breakfast the next morning at Cafe Americano in the Paris hotel



Presley's Instagram post

We walked over to Caeser's Forums for dinner at Carmines and then to walk over to the Linq to watch magician Mat Franco. 
We stopped for a pick-me-up from Cafe Lola's in Caeser's. 
And then after dinner at Carmine's, Harper, Miryn and I hustled to Sephora. 

Harper got pulled up on stage to perform a trick with Mat Franco. 
He broke her phone screen, and made it reappear new again in the audience at table #26.
Logan called her phone to find it. 
It was an amazing magic trick and a birthday she won't forget!

Grandma treated us all to Ghirardelli's sundaes to end her special day. 
(with the cards adding up to 15 that Franco made appear as part of his final trick)
All of celebrating with ice cream.
(Papa missed this because he flew home after the Sphere experience earlier today,  but his flight was delayed and he ended up staying the night at the Seattle airport for his connecting flight to Pasco)






 























 

Harper's 15th birthday interview





 

Presleys 21st Birthday

Presley was house/dog sitting the night before her birthday so Harper and I snuck over to the house about 10:00 and decorated her car with a sign and balloons.

She texted me in the morning to ask what time we snuck over. 

Presley came home from dog/house sitting and we had a dance party.

Grandma and Papa Nelson came over for taco salads, taquitos, rice and cake and ice cream. 

Dave, Logan and I took her to The Igloo for her first bar experience. 

Logan ordered her a Lemon Drop...

which was pretty strong accordiong to Presley :)

Then we took her to Applebee's for a strawberry daiquiri
and a Bacardi Rum Bucket, which she couldn't finish. 

Up early tomorrow to leave for Las Vegas!!
