Graduations Galore

Sorry about the picture quality, but the cute little graduate in this picture is my sweet little Ethan! He graduated from preschool just a couple of weeks ago and what an awesome little ceremony! The kids recited their ABC's in English and in Sign Language. They counted to 20 in English and then in Spanish. They recited nursery rhymns and Ethan knew ALL (and I do mean all) of them, even when it wasn't his turn. The pledge of allegiance was said, songs were sung, memory picture binders (their form of diplomas) were given. Then, the momentous occasion was topped off with a toss in the air of their graduation caps ~ we're so proud!



Our other graduation a few weeks ago is one that I am having a hard time actually admitting to! What the heck? Chase graduated from (clear my throat) 8th grade! Ahhhhh! Seriously, no kidding, high school here we come! It was funny, just before the end of the school year, Jerel and I received some correspondence in the mail from Gilbert High. Having both graduated from there, we were trying to think what the nature of the correspondence could be, presumably for us of course, we were shocked to find that the contents were directed toward Chase, not us! Yikes! Go Tigers!


Seriously, though, I have to brag just a tad... Chase is an excellent student and takes his education very seriously, which we are extremely grateful for! Chase completed his entire 8th grade year with straight A's and nearly a 4.3 GPA - excellent work Chase! We love you!
