Matt's Graduation!

It's so hard to believe my brother has graduated!!

He graduated on Saturday in College Station at Reed Arena. Whoop!! Sunday after church my parents, along with the parents of a couple of his basketball buds, had a grad party at the beach park in their neighborhood. There was volleyball, tons of food, cake, horseshoes, and lots of other fun stuff. We had a great time!

We had so much fun being able to make almost every single basketball game of his and even go to a couple of football games. We are proud of him and will miss him next year when he's off to college! And, my parents will be empty-nesters now...all four kids are grown and are outta the house! Crazy! Since I graduated ten years ago they've probably thought this day would never come. Supposedly they're going to be picking Jake up on Friday nights to spend the night with them. Haha! :)

Matt's Senior Banquet

Earlier this month we went to Matt's Sr Banquet at our church. Yes...I am wayyy behind on posting and will probably never catch up! We had fun and I wanted to add this memory to our family journal!

Memorable Moments - 2008 in Pictures

2008 will always stand out as one of the most memorable years of my life for the amazing blessings and devastating trials that it brought. But i know that all things work for good for those that love the Lord. He has continued to bless us thru this year and we are praying for happy and special 2009 with our baby boy!

ALL of us...the grandparents, Mom, Lissa, Jon, Zach, Mitch, and Luke (and me, Court, Haley, and Matt of course).

This past Saturday, June 7, was Haley's Graduation and party. I took many more pics at the graduation than the graduation party. It was such a fun day and we are proud of Haley! Several people commented on how that was one of the best graduations that they had ever been to. I have to agree. It was just heartfelt and genuine thoughts and speeches from several students who spoke, the principal, board members, etc. I couldn't believe how much this school focused on making them better people, relationships, respect, God, family, etc. There was even a long slide show including pics of all of the students. It was very impressive!

And for those of you who think this place looks familiar, it is the one and only Reed Arena on the Texas A&M campus. It was just an extra bonus to get to go back to good ole CS again!

Well, we just got home from our family reunion and it is 12:36am...so I'd better go. And we are getting up and heading to Port Aransas in the morning! See y'all later this week.
