WARNING-- graduation picture overload :)

My "baby" brother and I after graduation... I did survive-- w/out too many tears.



Ryan and I before graduation started.




Logan (my cousin Tosha's little boy who is 2) and B. They were so good during the ceremony.


My cousin Brooke, Brycen, and Logan

Brooke aka Booger :) and I before graduation

You can tell from this picture how much B loves his Uncle Joe!

Joe & B

Ryan, me, Bubby, and B :) (joe was not thrilled about all these pictures we made him take)

My brother, me, and our cousin Brooke

My brother and his best friend Taylor-- whom I often to refer to as "my other brother". They are rooming together in the fall at college :)

Me and "the other brother". They call me "big sister" but I'm pretty sure they are making fun b/c I'm not so big. haha

After graduation we went to my parents and had pizza (graduation took forever, it was 2 hours long). I had to finish up Joe's scrapbook so it could be out at his party Saturday morning. I still had track sectional and graduation pages to do. We didn't get home until 11:30pm. We crashed into bed as soon as we got home.

Saturday morning we got up and got ready and went to Joe's graduation party. I didn't get many pictures, b/c I spent my whole time holding this little sweetie.

My cousin Tosha's little girl. She was only 3 days old in this picture. Laila Nichole. She was born Wed. at 1:30pm and weighed 5 lbs and 5 oz and only 18 inches long!

Me & Miss Laila. She slept the whole 3 hours I held her. :)

After the party we came home and I cleaned the house and did laundry. Then we got ready and went to Evansville. We met some friends (Shannon & Chadd) at Red Lobster. It was delicious! Then we went to the mall b/c Old Navy was having $1 flip flops. They had hardly any left when we got there. I did get an extra pair of white just b/c they get dirty so fast. We walked around the mall a bit. Brycen made a new best friend in Chadd. :)

When we got back in the car I realized my cell phone was missing. UGH. and of all things Ryan had forgotten his at home so we couldn't call it. We were meeting at Cold Stone for ice cream w/ Chadd and Shannon so Shannon called my phone for me. Some lady answered it. I was so grateful someone had found it, but she gave me the rundown- I really didn't think she was going to give it back! She had found it in the parking lot at JC Penny's (where we parked). When we got there it was raining soooo hard, like a down pour. Sooo my phone had sooo much moisture in it. But at least I did get it back. It wasn't working very well at all. I always set my alarm on it and in the night the whole phone just died and turned off. So we didn't make it to church yesterday morning. I finally did get it to turn back on but certain buttons wouldn't work. We had two graduation parties to go to. First stop was Taylor's, he lives almost to Oakland City. We were there for a bit and then had to go to Evansville and run some errands, we followed my parents there. Then we had another graduation party in Newburgh. A friend of the family, Holly's. Dumb me forgot both of their cards so I will be getting those in the mail tomorrow! I left my phone in the car at Holly's and when we got back in all the moisture was gone and it worked just fine. I don't know if it was the humidity in the car or what, but I'm so thankful, because I really like my phone. We got home last night and just hung out for a little while before bed time. Ryan is working today so B & I are just hanging out. I need to get off here and do a little laundry and pick up some toys-- those thigns just seem to take over in a matter of minutes!

5 days until our cruise :)

Ok, so I'm finally catching up on your blog . . .what sweet pictures!!! And a cruise??!!! YAY for you!!!

Brittany said...

Wow your bro is so tall, or maybe you just make him look taller :) How tall is he?

Jessie said...

mmmmmm....Cayman Islands sounds wonderful!! We stopped there on our last cruise planning to snorkel, but it was storming so it got cancelled:( Well have a great time! You're brave taking B w/you! Dusty begged me to go on a cruise this summer but I told him there was no way with Koen. We looked into it anyways and you can't take kids under 18 mo, but I was okay with that:)Oh & about the $1 flip flops, I was SO upset that I missed the sale...we went Fri night & while there a friend txt me & said they were on sale Sat. I was disappointed!
