Jake's High School Commencement - May 20, 2012

The day I've been dreading for the past year finally came... GRADUATION.

He didn't have to look soooo happy about it.

The class made their way to their seats.

We were sitting miles away (thank goodness for my zoom lens!), but he managed to spot us.  Of course it was made easier because we were all jumping up and down waving our arms!

The Senior choir members went to the stage to sing.

I filled with tears seeing him up there with his friends singing for the last time.

The National Anthem.

After, they joined the entire choir to sing.

I couldn't see Jake because we were behind him, but I did snap pictures whenever he was on the "Jumbo-tron".


After they sang, Jake made his way back to his seat with his classmates.

It was finally time for him to walk up and receive his diploma.  I like to think he was looking at me, but Ali had come to sit with us after singing... :)

I love this shot as they threw their caps in the air because of Alex.  Can you guess which one is him?  So cute!

He made his way over to us afterwards.

P got to him first.
  

Then Zach raced in...so sweet!
 

Kodi got her hugs in.

And then a kiss...

I'm so thankful to my Mom for being here to celebrate.  Thanks MOM!!!!

With Ali.

Mom, Sam, Kodi, Jake, Zach, Phoebe, Ali and Bryan (They were all laughing because just as I was taking the first picture someone walked in front of the camera...this is the second)

Me and my boy *tears*

When did he get so tall and become such a man.

My Graduate. (Being photo-bombed by his Dad)

The diploma.

It's rare these days for me to get a picture of all my kids.

So how about two :) 

 And Mom finally got Kodi to pose for a picture with her!

 Proud parents.

And now on to his next adventure...The University of Arkansas!

I really want to thank my Jake for an amazing "high-school Mom" experience!  It's been incredibly fun and rewarding.  I look forward to the "college Mom" experience with him.  I know he'll make it memorable. 

Oh my how I love my boy!
