graduation.....

My babies are growing up! This is the last day of elementary school. I can't believe how fast it went. I remember the first day of kindergarten running out of the school crying!!! It only lasted a few days, and then I loved my two hours of quiet time!!! The kids are anxious to start the next chapter of their lives in Jr. High!

This is Lexi and Caroline, Caroline's best friend

This used to be Isabelle and Olivia, now it is Izzy, and Liv! Best Friends!!

Isabelle receiving her diploma.....

Caroline receiving her diploma....

Grant receiveing his diploma.....he was also the MC of the graduation ceremony.

This is one of my all time favorite people. She was the kids kindergarten teacher, and we have stayed friends all this time. I love her so much!!!!!!!!!

Izzy with Mr. Nichols.....and yes I am old enough to be his mother!!!!!

Grant with Mrs. Hunt. They became best buds. Her class was horrible this year, and Grant is such a good kid, he became the bouncer in her room!

Caroline with her teacher! She is adorbale, and is one of the best teachers at our school. I told her we need more teachers like her!

The kids and I went out for lunch and our friend Lynn came with us......the best part of the day is when they opened their graduation gifts. Jim and I decided to get them cell phones. When they opened them up they all cried! Grant said "I didn't think this day would every come"! It makes me smile that we are raising grateful children!!!!

50 years of wedded bliss!

My parents are celebrating 50 years of wedded bliss on July 1. They didn't want a party, but we decided they deserved a party!!! What an accomplishment! My parents still enjoy hanging out with each other, they work together every day.........and they are the two most generous people you will ever meet!!!!!!! My two brothers, sister, me and our families are VERY lucky!!!!! We were hoping to surprise our mom and dad, but two "old" people spilled the beans!!! The funny thing is, they both knew about the party, but didn't tell each other!! HA!

This is the board of memories my niece Mallory created. It looked so cute! Our kids took pictures of each guest as they arrived and that became our guest book! It was fabulous!

My cousins Tory, and Emery.....and a new little one on the way arriving in September!

My sisters-in-law Kelly and Tracy.....thanks for your help girls!!!!

Guests mingling.....

Thank goodness for the tent......a huge storm hit, and everyone had to run into the building. We have a security camera, and I can't wait to watch it! Stuff flew everywhere!!!!!

It was such a fun evening!!!! My sister and I were mad at ourselves, because we were so busy we didn't take very many pictures! At the end my immediate family was there, and some close friends to help clean up......we toasted with some yummy champagne........to a great couple....great friends, great parents.........I love you both very much!!!!!!!
