cousin Cooper's graduation

Cooper graduated in May and we got to attend his graduation dinner before the actual ceremony at his school.  It was very special, and yummy and delicious!

He doesn't look to happy to be there...but he was! ;)

Tonya's a College Grad!

Saturday morning, Punkin' & I were up eating breakfast watching Yo Gabba Gabba I'm sure & Luke (my cousin's fiancé) text me asking if I wanted to web link to watch Tonya graduate from Georgia Tech!  Well heck yes!  So I ran & got my laptop & got where I needed to be, right as they were announcing, "College of Management"! YAY!!  That was her!

{I snapped this as they were walking up...}

{Shaking the guys hand...}

 {& finishing her walk across stage!}

I am such a proud BIG cousin...{even though she beat me at graduating from college :P} haha!  From what I have heard her speak out her degree & her career path, she is going seriously do a great, & be such an amazing addition at her new job & truly has a passion for what she is doing--that is very evident!  & yes, she already has a big girl job!  Another reason I am so proud!  =)  Not to mention...she's getting married in like...TEN DAYS!!

We love you Ton, & since we couldn't be at your graduation, this was the next best thing!  ;)

Uncle G's Graduation!

Yesterday, was my little brother's High School graduation.  Luckily I got someone to watch Ryder because I knew he wouldn't be able to sit still long enough for that, poor baby!  

I was so happy to see my lil brother walking in his gap & gown!  He looked so official & so grown up!

 {going to his seat...}

 {finally a full house!}

 I am such a bad sister...I didn't get an actual picture of him walking across the stage!  This is him waiting in line to walk across stage!

 I was so happy to get to sing the Alma Mater again & know all the words!  ;)  It reminded me of the closeness my class had, even though not all of us even knew each other...that one day we were one & I could see that closeness in this class as well on this special day.  Some of them had gone to school together since they were in Kindergarden!  So special!

 {proud parents as they should be!}

 After we got home, I went & got Ryder & then we all met at Ruby Tuesday's (Garrett's choice) & had a good time eating dinner together & celebrating Garrett's graduation.

Ryder LOVES for people to swing him!  I thought this was sweet!  ;)
