Off ot the big MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!

Brennan looks so serious here... hmmm...contemplating life in the middle school I suppose. He was waiting in line for the graduation ceremony to begin and Brock and I passed him in the hallway. He begged to untuck his golf shirt... Mom, please PLEASE can I untuck my shirt??? It was quite funny to see all the girls dressed in their fanciest dresses and the boys were lucky to be convinced to wear golf shirts and nice shorts. Their were only a handful of boys that had shirts and ties on in the class of 150! Brennan was SOOO glad that I did not make him wear his nice pants, etc.
The fake diploma!!! Each kid was given a mock diploma when they shook hands with the principal and then in the classroom was given a nice framed copy along with a picture of them and their teacher. Speaking of the principal - oh my... the rules this man spouted off at the beginning of the ceremony were ridiculous!!!! No clapping... only stand in THIS spot if you want a picture of your child... no cheering for your child. Well we had a little secret weapon with us who stole the show in front of about 500 people. Reese would not STOP singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY at the top of her lungs... over and over and over again. Then when Brennan graduated.. she SHOUTED..."GOOD JOB BRENNAN!!!" Way to go Reese!!!!

Brennan and a few of his best friends from his class. What a great group of kids he was blessed to be with all year.

Brennan and Bailey - Best of Friends!!! Thank goodness Bailey lives in our neighborhood and they were able to have several years at the Elementary in the same class. Life was always good when you could look on the class list and see your best friends name on their with you!

Brennan, Mom and Dad... so proud of our little graduate! On to the BIG middle school next years with Tanner. What a blessing that will be to have them in the same school. They share a room and having Brennan leave for school an hour and a half earlier than Tanner made life a little interesting. Same schedules will be NICE!!!
