Two College Students!

                                

Ethan and Cameron started online classes this week for our local community college!  They are both writing papers and attending zoom classes each week.  In addition to their basic requirements they are each taking an elective unique to their degrees.  So exciting!  It's a long way from this - or was it just the other day?

Cameron #19

 Cameron had his 19th birthday over the weekend!  We celebrated him well with presents, eating out, yummy foods, lots of cake and ice cream and lots of LOVE!  He had a great day!  Thanks to all for celebrating him with us!

Lots of love on facebook and instagram

New Desk Space for Me!

 

I have a new desk area now in the corner of Ashton's room, which I'm loving!  My pretty, girly space for creating.  <Ahhh>

Ethan's Haircut

 

Big News: Ethan got a haircut and it looks good!

Hair everywhere!

Ashton's First Day!

 

Ashton started his online classes this week and has had a great start to his sophomore year!  

Sadie Surgeries

 Sadie had two procedures on Monday.  One was to remove a cyst that had grown in her neck and the other was doing a dental cleaning and removing dead or cracked teeth.  She had quite a day!  She is home now and doing great.  The downside is now post-care that requires oral medicines two times a day.  Cameron and Derrik have a pretty good system down to get it done!  We're happy to have our girl healthy and happy.

In other news, she will now need to start paying 

off her surgeries by doing commercials.  lol

What's Ashton up to?

Ashton begins his sophomore year at Saugus High School on Tuesday, August 11th.  He is taking a full load this year: Band, English, Algebra 2, Chemistry and Mod Civ.  We did a COVID friendly registration last week and then created a work space for him in the bonus room.  He now has his own space instead of working at the kitchen table!  He will be completely online for 5 weeks and then the district may offer us small group classes after that.

We included two silly pics of 
him holding his new textbooks.
lol

What's Cameron up to?

Cameron continues to work at our church as a Technical Assistant and a technical intern for the Student Ministries.  He is also learning how to create wedding videos by shadowing a professional.  He begins classes at College of the Canyons to get his Associates degree in Filmmaking the last week of August.

I'm attaching a video he was highlighted in giving announcements to the Student Ministry students.  He created a blooper video as well!  Enjoy!

What's Ethan up to?

Ethan's always up to something musical....he has officially posted all of his music on BandCamp, which I will link below.  He is doing freelancing by editing audio books and has been hired by Grandpa Hubbard to help record an album, which involves several recording sessions throughout the week.  He begins classes at College of the Canyons for an Associates degree in Sound Production the end of this month.

The Hubbard's Cheeseburger Challenge

On the list of things to do this summer was to hold a cheeseburger taste test and see if we could guess where the cheeseburgers were from.  The choices were: McDonald's, In-and-Out, Jack in the Box, Carl's Jr. and Wendy's.  We filmed the experience and posted the youtube link below. Cameron helped with video and editing. It was so fun!  I went last (by myself) and failed.  It's been a long time since I've eaten a fast food cheeseburger, I guess!
