Graduations a Plenty

We've had a few graduation celebrations around here. First up was Lauren. She graduated from preschool and is ready and waiting for Kindergarten to start next year. (I still can't believe I'll have all my kids in school next year...sniff, sniff) This year I was a part of a co-op preschool and I had fun taking my turn in teaching. Lauren was the one girl among 3 boys and she loved every minute of being the only girl (of course Carley joined when it was at my house). Jennifer went all out in taking charge of the graduation party which was complete with "walking" music, hats, a yearbook of sorts, gifts and great food. She truly out did herself and we sure appreciate it.
Carley graduated today from Kindergarten. She has come a long way from the beginning of the year. I almost can't believe the progress she has made. It was fun celebrating this little mile stone with her.

On a side note, I've received copies of pictures that Mark's parents took while they were here. I've included them in the post of their visit below.

Yeah, we had fun, didn't we? I thought it was a fun way to end the year--what a great year! I love the pictures of Carley with Mrs. Kutch, too. What a cute graduation ceremony. :)

Your kids are so cute. I got a kick out of them on Sunday (we were sitting behind you.) I bet Carley LOVES Mrs. Kutch. She was there when Carlin was in Kindegarten. We'll have to do lunch next year when all of your kids are in school:)

So cute! I really think these are more for the parents photo opps than for the kids. They are just too cute!

Your pictures sure brought back some great memories of Joy School.

On the Ray's last mission, they included me in their mission mailings. I sure hope to hear about their work. They are such good people.

Loved all the pictures of you and your beautiful family.
