Happy July

Wishing you a safe and happy 4th of July weekend!

Grad pictures

The 4 of us (you can see how 'into' this picture we all were...)

With his girlfriend:

Party time!

With his great-grandparents!

What is better at a high school grad party, than a bounce house full of high school kids?!

And...

It is done!

Whew! AND we survived!

The graduation ceremony was nice - hour & a half. I only had a couple of teary moments. Then we had the meltdown by DD after the ceremony so our family pictures look like crap... Anyway - - - we have nice ones and I will get them posted here this week.

The party was a lot of fun - great weather. The bounce house was a hit and used almost continually for the 4 hours of the party (plus pre-party neighborhood fun). I couldn't have done it without my two friends in the kitchen who took care of everything so all I had to do was be social and play. We were thoroughly worn out by the time we went to bed on Sunday night but I think (and hope) that all had fun!

He's off to junior college in the fall and looking forward to it.
Pictures to come...

Happy June!

As the graduation countdown is quickly winding down, it's nice that things are falling into place. I promise I will try not to stress too much about the party and what does or doesn't get done... (at least not TOO much!).

Hubby & Son have been working hard this week and the yard is looking good. The house is cleaner and things that have been out of place seem to be finding their way to where they belong!

I hope you all have a wonderful week - I'll check in when things quiet down a little.
