It's All About Jake

WARNING: picture overload.

June 3, 4, 5 were all about Jake. It started with graduation from Orem High School. He was in the
top 10% of his class. He's a self-motivated hard-working student. He'll be attending BYU in the fall on scholarships.

Waiting for graduation to begin with
Jake's 3 brown brothers.
"Jake Anthony Lloyd"
The cheering section.
The proud family.
Jumping Jakester.
The Lloyd boys.
All of the boys.
We passed Jake on the way to dinner. (This picture is the last one in his car. It got totaled the next day...picture below.)
Jake, the stud.
Dinner at Tucano's.
The next day we had a graduation BBQ for the family.
Kaden, Aaron, Jake, Trevor, Travis
Some of the girls: Nancy (his mom), Gayle (Nancy's mom), Julie, me, Jill.
My sweet G'ma B came down too.
We gave Jake a Seiko watch. It's awesome!
Another family photo.
Sunday we held his Eagle Court of Honor.
John & 2 fellow officers did the flag ceremony.


THANKS to my sibs Tanya, Aaron, & Jill for coming to support us!
One more proud family photo.
Jake was one tired boy by the end of the night. He fell asleep on the stage after cleanup.
That night, he was headed to a friend's house and got hit by a car. (The other driver was cited.) Jake was sad to see his car go but grateful to walk away without injuries.
And now...off to the next phase of life. Work, college, & getting ready for a mission.
We're proud of you Jake!

Way to go Jake! Sorry about the car. But what a great blessing that you weren't hurt!
