On to Graduation Blue & White

I need to do a better job of recognizing others in my family on their special days...So I have to give a shout-out to my youngest sister Brooke since she is now a mighty CHS alumnus! She is adored by her nephews & will be missed-They wanted to get her this graduation Barbie:) As you can see, she looks just like her! After we made sure to capture the moment in a picture with her graduation gear (as Cole called it:), we left the boys with some friends & enjoyed commencement @ Tacoma Dome much more without them:)















My niece Anna was a good sport, thanks to the Diet Coke in her bottle-hey, I don't blame Rach=whatever works!:) I was reminded by a speaker there that Boop started kindergarten the same year I graduated from high school, so I felt old but proud to cheer on another Shaw girl who'd accomplished much as a Viking:) Now she's headed to BYU! In fact, she only has a week until she starts summer term-Glad Britt will be nearby & we will get to see her in July, August & October to make the transition easier:) Fun to be with all my sisters over the weekend & especially on Fathers' Day! We even made a quick trip down to the cabin & had farewell dinner @ Ram (on waterfront)Flashbacks o' Brooke's senior year-Can't believe my beautiful baby sister is almost 18?! Homecoming=Princess Brooke & her escort:)
Britt & I reliving our glory days:) OR making a fool outta ourselves-you decide! But we had fun in the process...








Cole & Dane with their favorite cheerleader aunt; we owe Dane's fascination with Iron Man theme song to Curtis Pep Band & he was found @ times throughout the year on the speaker wanting to have his own box on which to cheer:) Not quite where Chris envisioned his son during football games, but hey! Sure had fun watching Boop in action-





Last but not least, pre-prom with her date:)

Congrats to Brooke! That's a neat family photo with all the sisters home and together for her graduation. That's cute your boys wanted to get her the graduation barbie (didn't even know there was such a thing but should've known, they think of everything these days)... and yes, I would have to agree she does look just like her. She's a beautiful girl.

your sisters are all so beautiful- and I still don't believe that its really those little girls all grown up. wow. I can't get over how beautiful that prom dress is..definitely not the home-made kind that I wore. Not that Im knockin' my home-made dress, it was really pretty but that one is totally Cinderella worthy and so is the chica in it :)
It was so great seeing you guys last night! I can't wait to actually get to sit down and visit with you when Im not exhausted from working all day! I fell asleep as soon as we sat down to visit with his brothers last night. Ryan made me go to bed and I don't even think I knew where I was when I woke up this morning! Thats the textbook definition of exhaustion,right?

OK, she is just too cute, Ill give her one year of college then I have to set her up with my brother :)
She went with Chase Neil to prom...he's a good guy, he ran XC for us...thus the partiality on my part.
LOVE the photo with all the family. You guys are so gorgeous, seriously. Wow, good gene pool

It is fun to hear about other family members and I too really never talk about my extended family accomplishments. Maybe thats because I can't even keep up on our own family's info! I still have our fam reunion to blog and Sam's freak illness. Oh and my kitchen (still not quite done.)
So hopefully nobody is reading this that will take offense to this but I love the prom picture becuase your sister seriously looks like she just stepped off the red carpet, I mean amazingly beautiful and mature, and her cute little date - is so stinkin' cute but kind of looks like her little brother or something. Ok I hope that wasn't mean- it wasn't meant that way all! Its really cute!

Thanks for the posts on my blog! The heat seems to make the baby bump among other things nice and swollen! May have to hit you up for some boy tips if indeed that's what we are having. Darling, darling boys!

Hey...I just thought I'd come and leave you a comment since I'm always running into you everywhere...and no I find out your a fellow HUSKY fan too. We'll have to meet up before a husky game, do you guys tailgate ahead of time?? We're always there atleast 3 hours before each game tailgating, and I'd love for you guys to stop by.

You and your sis look a lot a like, she's just a blond version of you :-)

I have a pregnancy countdown on my blog too, Whooo Hoooo, just 8 weeks left now!

Take Care,
Michelle
