grad vibes

First of all….milestone moment.  Easton started eating green beans.  He likes them more than that rotten old bland cereal they had been trying to feed him.  

Jim, Amy and I trudged out to Manhattan to watch Emma-Kate graduate from KSU!   Any day in Manhattan is a good day….but this is a pretty proud one as well!  EK graduated magna cum laude with a degree in animal science.  She has been accepted into the Veterinary program for next fall. We are so proud of her!  

Cameron attended a funky town party. He wore the mushroom shirt I found for him.  It’s a great shirt!

 

Busy but fun weekend.  Only 2 more days of school.  Let’s finish her up! 

Saige is an 8th grade grad

 

Our last child is out of grade school.  

I am so proud of Saige!  She was nominated for a character award and was one of 11 kids in her grade to make the principals honor roll.  

She has done great things in junior high and I believe will rock high school. 

It was nice that some of her siblings could come down for graduation!  I somehow didn’t get photos with Madison and her family.  And I know i took a photo with Saige and Mallory, but somehow I cannot find it in my photos.  (Also thank you Mallory for doing Saige’s hair). 

Always a good day when all your grandparents can be there!  (Thank you for making the cake grandma Nancy!)

Cousin Ryan did a great job being a class attendant.  

And she looked very pretty in her dress she picked out.  

A great evening! 

Thank you to everyone who came to help her make the evening special, and to everyone who has helped her along the way. 

Sounds like summer

Evie had her first ball game.  I know they are arranging the season so that the games and tournament are all done before the July 4th holiday, but I would think they could hold off for a few more days and let these kids get done with school first.  Or maybe I’m just tired.  Saige was supposed to have practice and we had goats  escape all over the yard so we missed the game.  Luckily, there are plenty more we can catch before the season is over! 

Quincy and Landrie went to a drag show.  I thought she looked cute, so I made her let me take a picture.  I am happy to see her do something besides work!  :)  

My little buddy is ready for grammy to have more free time so she can come visit!  :)  

Mallory had her last day with kids yesterday.  She has had a good year, and we have enjoyed watching her enjoy teaching again.  Now we just have to get her gall bladder surgery done so she can enjoy feeling human again!  

Tomorrow is Saige's 8th grade graduation.  I am very proud of how she works hard in school, keeps her grades up and tries to stay mostly out of the drama that is her class.  I am hoping that high school will add some maturity to a lot of these kids.  Or at the very least, spread them a little thinner in the mix.  She is excited and ready to do summer, and then leave Carbondale behind. Safe to say we are all ready!
