Graduation weekend in pictures

Before the Big March:













With the kiddies:

Tamra was one of four speakers and spoke about continuing community service and involvement. One of their graduation requirements was 20 hours of community service, and she encouraged them to stay active and involved in making a difference in their communities, local schools, and families. It was an excellent speech and had a very good message.

After she received her diploma she posed on stage for a few pictures:

Trying to act composed now that she's a real graduate with a signed diploma:

Conspiring:

Her walking partner who was their class valedictorian and is a good LDS buddy of hers ( also a state champ wrestler) threw her over his shoulder as they were walking out and carried her down the aisle. I was laughing too hard to get any decent pictures of that.

Tamra and my brother Jim:

Kendle couldn't be happier for aunt Tamra:

The Whole Crew:

Proud Grandparents:

Happy, yet relieved parents. After 20+ years of that high school they are finally done.

The protective brother-in-law isn't ready to loosen up just yet:

Ready to take on the world:

The kids' reward for being good during graduation:

What a great way to celebrate!
