Graduations!! Joe & Mandi & Alli :)

Joe, Mandi & Alli all had graduations in May.
Mandi graduated from 8th grade in a "promotion" ceremony to send them off to be "Fish" in High School.

High School...

Oh Gosh!!

Alli graduated from High School!!






To the left is Alli's sweetie... Gage.
Below... It's the Fam!!
And to the right is Alli showing off her Senior ring and her Basketball State Championship ring!



And Joe graduated from Baylor with a Bachelor's of Arts in Religion.

(Mandi had already headed to the restaurant with Aunt Pam, so she missed the photo session outside of the Ferrell Center after the ceremony.)

I'm so proud of all 3 of them!! Here's a humbling fact though... Alli was born right after Joe and I graduated High School, and Joe and Alli graduated from college and high school together!!

Not to mention Joe graduating from college at the same time as his oldest daughter graduated from middle school!! I'd like to say it took him 19 years to finish a 4 year degree (hee-hee), but I guess that's a bit misleading since he went back 14 years later with enough hours to be a Junior, and got a Turf Grass degree in the meanwhile.

(It's my turn now...NOT! "No thank you" to going back to school!!!)

CONGRATS GRADS!!
