Jesse UPDATE!

This is the Stennett hill, I am picking Jesse up to go to orchestra I think...

or for dinner, or scouts but NOT for night time, it would be dark.
He is usually getting into the driver's seat now, seminary, college, aikido

and even to the mall a couple times...  He shops on his own!!
Tues. night Jesse earned the last of his merit badges at the Court of Honor.

Now he needs to focus on the Eagle project...  Maybe for Oct./Nov.  Maybe

he should have RE earned the photography merit badge and learned to SMILE

in his pictures?!?!
Jesse conducting the Court of Honor.  He was dismissing the colors, and

Jordan Stennett was color guard.  They did a good job staying serious and

respectful for the process!
A Jesse update wouldn't be complete w/o a computer picture...  He is actually

working on homework here!  He is taking an online astronomy course and has 

about 18 chapters to read/answer/test...  Keep up the good work Jesse, starting

5th week of college this week.  2 essays due in speech again this Wed. only 500

words each this time, 1,000 words each LAST Friday and a 5 chpt. test!

A Honolulu anniversary weekend!

Leaving Lihue airport-standby for Honolulu Thurs. am.  It is not hightime

now so we were able to get across and get bonus time at our timeshare

downtown Waikiki for a couple of nights of vacation!  YEAH!!  
We rented an economy car for $17 a day... but they offered us this Seabring convertible

since none of the economy cars were available.  OK!!
One of the prettiest spots on the island!  Almost to North Shore.  Total color treat!

Headed to Laie for a session at the temple.
Sitting at Waikiki beach in the shade...  Beautiful day and not TOO crowded!

Walked in the water and enjoyed the sights and people watching... before heading to

Round Table for some pizza.
Diamond Head and ocean, from the Sheraton, completely redoing the Royal Hawaiian

beach side and the walk way.  New shopping mall  too by the Cheesecake factory, amazing!

THE life of JESSE-for College Speech...

Jesse's first assignment for Speech was to present his life in 

PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE.

This was his presentation...  Past is the above cartoon!  TRUE!!!
He felt this was pretty good for how it is feeling right now as the screws of responsibility 

are tightening and he does NOT have ALL week to "hang out"---  

He still does, but just in pockets of time and NOT all week, that's progress.  

Jesse is pinning for summer.
This is FUTURE...  

Jesse is undeclared as a major and I told him to say he is going to be an

engineer OR a rocket scientist...  

That makes him SOUND smarter...  BUT this cartoon was TOO funny!  

OK, Jesse can grow up and work with BROOKS in computer programing?!!?

PLEASE save him a spot on the payroll.
Cousin Sammy, Elder Sherrill is a good role model, 

doing the IMPORTANT work of the Lord, 

This too is Jesse's goal!

But for right NOW, 

Jesse needs to learn to come up for air, 

and not get piled too high when a wave is coming!  

You go Jenna!  Come up, Jesse!  LOVE life!
