Andrew graduates!!!!

Yesterday was a BIG day for our family! Andrew graduated from high school with a scholar's diploma (4 years of advanced science, 4 years of advanced math and 3 years of a foreign language while maintaing a 3.6 GPA) from BCS!!! He is thrilled to be finished and is looking forward to the future with great expectation. We all attended the afternoon graduation and than had a huge celebration afterwards at Macaroni Grill. There was 30 of us who joined together to celebrate Andrew and Shelby's accomplishment. It was a precious time of coming together with dear ones and celebrating 2 people who we love. I have a lot more pictures but just posted a few highlights from the day and hope you enjoy a glimpse of the day. It was a perfect day in many ways. The love, celebration and blessing was overflowing and this mama's heart was too. God is good and so very faithful.

Sentimental Sunday....

This was taken sometime last summer or early fall. It is one of Traes favorite picture of Sam. He is thoughtful and introspective and that is a sweet trait in a toddler! When he isn't, he is moving for sure and keeping us busy!!!!

Trae and our little guy.....

Aren't they precious?!

Our moving guy....

Jacob is a lover of keeping busy! He loves sports, being on the go, what can we go do, doing something together and pretty much any kind of sports! I wonder how many times I have said you can throw the ball but not in the house! His favorite thing is to throw a ball up in our very large sky light. Ummmm.......not safe and a very expensive repair!

Sweet grandma love....

Sam loves his grandma! He calls her and talks to her on the phone and loves seeing her when she visits. They have a very sweet bond and special things they do together and talk about. She has a lot of love to give and does so beautifully to all 9 of her grandchildren! We are so blessed and grateful for her and the love she so freely gives.

Easter egg fun....

We had the perfect weather day for a little egg hunt on Easter! It was after nap time so Sam had already changed out of his Easter duds but he is still adorable in his play clothes! Jacob found some enjoyment in it too. They both love being outdoors.

One of my favorite pictures....

This is one of my favorite pictures. Andrew was 3 years old and singing in a school program. As a mommy I thought he had the best sign and I had the cutest kid ever! Andrew made me a mom and 19 years into being his mom I am grateful most of all for the gift of his life and relationship. He is grown and entering a new season in his life. I am so proud of him and excited for his future. I will always be cheering him on from my heart and desire to have relationship with him as he has grown from my little boy to a man.
