Richardson Report

We are fast approaching the end of the school year!  Brynne graduates on June 8!!  She's pretty excited and so ready to be done with school for the summer.  The rest of the kids have four days after her but they are full of variety shows, BBQs, and a field trip - no learning will be taking place.  Of course. We have had the busiest two weeks - I think I made dinner just a handful of times because it was chaotic.  All the end-of-school high stuff has to wrap up before graduation.  Just this past week we had orchestra banquet, track banquet, violin recital, and strings play-in, not to mention a youth temple trip for Josh and Brynne and then our own temple date on Friday.  Last night I was seriously so exhausted...but silly me I said, "why don't we have your Bishopric and their families over for waffles after church".  So we spent the evening cooking bacon and going to the store for vital waffle toppings such as Nutella.  We're feeding 25 peop...

Prom came at the end of April. Brynne went with her good friend and now boyfriend, Parker.  They looked amazing and had such a good time with their group of friends.

Anyway, photos of my lovely Brynne and her date...
