It Takes An Entire Village...
That was the theme of the party we threw this weekend and a party it was. To celebrate Big J's graduation we wanted to throw a party to celebrate those who have inspired him throughout the last 8 years of his education. The guest list was large, the food was picked by the graduate and the weather was a special order that I put in a few weeks ago. Needless to say the day was perfect, just perfect.
~ A table filling fast and waiting for the sushi platters...
~ Mike preparing hamburger toppings...
~ Family and friends...
~ Grandpas doing the barbecuing...
~ Trampoline fun!
~ The three grandmothers...left to right...Lynne (my ex's mom), Sandi (Kayce's mom), Margaret (Big J's step-mom's mom) - Yes we were all together in celebration and it was so nice!
~ Party + sunshine + good friends = good times!
~ Two influential educators in Big J's life...on the left was his core teacher through out junior high and on the right is his principal from elementary school who he still talks about today. Two incredible women!!
~ A boy and his dog. 
~ Grandpa Ed (Big J's step -mom's dad)
~ Party moms...Big J's step-mom and my mommie.
~ ummmm what is this??
~ NO WAY!
~ Laptop joy!
~ Big J's little bro...a new found friendship with Summit. And with that the party ended late into the evening with hugs and kisses to all who left and memories made for all who came and were shared in the morning and will be in the days to come. Thank you to all who are helping to raise our young man...it takes a village and our village is awesome! Love to you all!!
And now summer is finally here.

What a nice party! I'm laughing because my Jacob has been begging for a laptop. He won't be graduating 8th grade until next year....I wonder if we can hold him off that long?!
WONDERFUL party..
Looks like it couldn't have got any better.
Have a great week.
Hugs..
You are so good to have all if his family there; we agree that steps, half's, ex's etc... should all get together for these events. Shows the children how to get along. Congrats!
