Wow.
Jesse is no longer a high schooler.
He's officially a graduate,
an alum of North Hall.
The end of a season.
So much emotion!!
Graduation was held at Free Chapel.
GREAT facility,
huge worship center,
perfect set up.
Tam had the hook up with seats,
as one of her dearest friends is in charge of the event each year.
We were sitting in the perfect spot to take it all in.
Jess had quite the cheering section -
the whole fam was there (minus the kiddos - no room!).
Waiting in line to get in Free Chapel
(there was another graduation before this one)
Ummmm, yeah ... that's the line to get in.
Are we sure this isn't Disneyworld??!
Jesse's cheering section -
notice Jordan posing! Stinker!
Walking in - the camera focused on the lady in black
instead of him, but you can still see him.
And he'd NEVER, EVER dare to make eye contact with us.
Way too embarrassing!
Getting his diploma.
And filing back out ...
Proud parents
With the fam
With Nana & O
With Rob's parents
Yep - super proud of him!
Rob's brother, Chris & his wife Kelly
Rob's sister Angie and her husband, Chris
With Aunt Beck
After the ceremony,
we headed back to the house where more friends joined us to celebrate.
Love that Bowdie's parents came to congratulate Jesse!
He went into a complete silly mode -
some kind of model pose here ...
The den was basically what Rob called a 'shrine' ...
they did a great job pulling out old memorabilia and pics
and putting them everywhere!
After we enjoyed some BBQ and fixings,
Jess got to open his first (and BEST) graduation gift!
A new truck!
The maroon Yukon bit the dust (literally!)
so this college-bound boy needed a new set of wheels.
Perfect!
One happy boy.
Looking forward to college days
and more baseball games!
Onto the next season ...
