Graduation Day!

School is out for the summer!

Brooke had her Kindergarten Graduation last Friday, and it was too cute! The kids sang three songs ("Deep in the Heart of Texas" was Brooke's favorite), received a certificate from Ms. Helfer and then had a cookie and lemonade reception. Here are a few pictures:

Walking into the gym before the ceremony started.

Laughing with her friend, Jolie.

She is really going to miss her teacher, Ms. Helfer. She was the perfect kindergarten teacher for Brooke-definite answer to prayer!

Our family, after the graduation. It was so hot in the gym, and we were all ready for a drink!

Brooke and Bethany enjoying cookies and lemonade, with a few of Brooke's school friends.

No refreshments for Bo, although he was eyeing them up!

As soon as Brooke's graduation was finished, we loaded up the van and drove to College Station. My youngest sister, Morgan, graduated from high school that evening. She actually finished school in December, and has been attending Blinn since January-it's hard to believe she is growing up!

Our family before leaving the house. Bo was worn out, so we didn't wake him for the picture (but I did wake him a few minutes later to buckle him into his carseat).

All the girls!

Some of my favorite quotes from the night:

Bethany (after Morgan crossed the stage and went back to her seat)-'Does Morgan have to sit down there until her mommy and daddy come get her?'

Brooke (after being shown Morgan's name in the program by my aunt)-'Hey, that's the same Morgan we know!"

Bo woke up and was happy to look around at all the people.
With the graduate! Bo fell asleep half-way through the ceremony...we really need to work on him being awake for pictures!
