Megan's Graduation Weekend

We are so proud of dear Megan!  She graduated from high school last weekend, earning Valedictorian status to boot.  We were honored to spend most of the weekend with her and her family celebrating her graduation.  Saturday we gathered for a BBQ at her home with lots of friends and family.  Sadly, Jonathan was feeling sick and so he and Marvin had to miss the festivities.  :(  But Jackson and I enjoyed yummy BBQ and homemade ice cream enough for the whole family.   :)

Sunday we met for lunch at 1000 Hills Lake restaurant before heading to the high school for her graduation ceremony.  

The graduate!!

Megan and Tristan giving a speech.  :)

I love the tradition at their school of handing out roses and hugs to family members during the ceremony.  

Megan and her Mama.

Megan and her Daddy.  

This cracks me up.  Brenda taking one more photo as Megan recesses, while Megan aims her silly string at Brenda.  :D

Following the ceremony we headed back out to their house for cake and leftovers.  :)  

Mike had just graduated that same weekend with his Doctorate.  Since he and Megan share the same initials (on the cake) we thought it fitting to celebrate both.  :)

Megan opening her gifts.  This was a photo book of her senior pictures.

Brenda got her own copy.   :)

Ready for Truman in the fall!

This is hysterical!  If you watch closely, you can see where Jackson went THROUGH the webbing around the trampoline at the end.  (in the next photo AFTER it looks like he is pushing Melina...)
Hmmmm....  wonder how that could have happened??

So funny... this is where Megan said to Brenda, "Mom, your breath smells like beef."

To which Matt responded... "Nope, that would be me!"   :D  ha!
