LOLO GRADUATED FROM ALPINE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY. SHE WAS SO CUTE.

WE STARTED OFF THE CELEBRATION AT RED LOBSTER, THE TRADITIONAL KINDERGARTEN CELEBRATION PLACE. EVERYONE BUT ME AND THE KIDS ORDERED SEAFOOD. WE ORDERED SOME KIND OF PASTA. WE GAVE LOLO SOME GIFTS AND LET HER GO AROUND THE CIRCLE AND ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT SHE LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN. THAT WAS INTERESTING.

RIGHT NOW CALEB AND CHRISPY ARE ON THE COUCH GETTING READY TO GO TO BED. JILLY & I ARE SITTING IN THE RECLINER BLOGGIN.

THE ACA GRADUATION PROGRAM WAS PRECIOUS. LOTS OF SONGS AND LAUGHS. THE GRADUATION CEREMONY WAS SHORT AND SWEET. MRS BRENDA GAVE LOLO HER DIPLOMA AND WE CHEERED.

WE ARE SO PROUD OF AUBREY. AND I'M VERY IMPRESSED WITH WITH PINE TREE PRIMARY'S PE PROGRAM. IT RAN SMOOTHELY. I CAN'T WAIT TO GO WATCH LOLO, THEN CALEB, THEN COOPER DO THE SAME THING ONE DAY.

AUBREY'S TEAM WAS "READ'S RACERS".

CALEB WENT TO VISIT AUBREY ON THE FIELD.

SHE'S SO CRAZY! LOOK AT HER FACE!
WE GOT TO SEE AUBREY DO THE FOX TAIL. SHE BACKED UP A SWUNG THAT FOX TAIL AS FAR AS SHE COULD. 2ND PLACE! HOW AWESOME IS THAT!

AS I WAS LEAVING SHE WAS CHEERING WITH HER BUDDY. I WONDER IF SHE WILL BE A CHEERLEADER ONE DAY.
IT WAS A LOT OF FUN TO WATCH AUBREY WITH HER CLASSMATES COMPETE.

I WROTE THIS PART BEFORE I POSTED THE PICTURES.

A FEW DAY'S AGO AUBREY HAD FIELD DAY WITH THE REST OF PINE TREE 1ST GRADE SCHOOL. SHE PARTICIPATED IN THE LONG JUMP, FOX TAIL THROW, THE TUG OF WAR AND MAYBE SOMETHING ELSE.

IT WAS A RED RIBBON DAY FOR AUBREY. THE LITTLE GIRL RACKED UP 3 OR 4 SECOND PLACE RIBBONS.

IN THE STANDS DADDY, GRANDMOMMY, COOPER, CALEB & AUNT BECKY (THAT'S ME) CHEERED FOR THAT SWEET GIRL. THE TEAM'S COLOR WAS ORANGE AND COOPER WAS READY TO GO.

CHRISPY'S GRADUADION DAY FROM LeTOURNEAU UNIVERSITY

WE STARTED OFF THE DAY BY GOING TO A RECEPTION FOR THE GRADUATES WHO WERE GRADUATING WITH HONORS. WE SAT WITH TANA'S FAMILY, DAVID, DREW AND MORGAN. CHRISPY AND TANA TOOK LeTOURNEAU BY STORM 3 YEARS AGO AND THIS DAY THEY CONQURED IT.
CHRISPY AND TANA WERE IN A CLASS OF 13 IN THE "TEACH" PROGRAM. TANA IS THE CUTE ONE WEARING PINK.
THIS WHOLE ROW IS THE LADIES FROM HIS CLASS. THEY MADE GRADUATION SHIRTS THAT SAID "TWO ROOSTERS IN A HEN HOUSE". 11 GIRLS AND 2 GUYS.
THEY CALLED CHRISPY'S NAME TO RECEIVE HIS AWARD "MAGNA CUM LAUDE" HOW AWESOME IS THAT!
AFTER THE CEREMONY HE ENJOYED TAKING PICTURES OF HIS MEDAL.
MOM AND DAD WERE SO PROUD THEY WERE ABOUT TO BUST!
TANA AND CHRISPY IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL LOGO.
THE PROUD SCHOLL FAMILY.
AROUND 1:30 WE GOT THERE TO SIT AND IT WAS ALREADY FULL! WE SAT UP AT THE VERY BACK SO GRANDMA COULD COME UP. AUBREY AND LOLO CAME READY TO CELEBRATE. RICKY AND LOLO CAME STRAIGHT FROM A SOCCER GAME.
GRANDMA STELLA SURPRISED US AND CAME FOR THE DAY. CALEB LOVES HER.
AMY AND CINDY LET THE BOYS PLAY. CALEB LOVES HIS LITTLE BUDDY COOPER. HE GIVES HIM KISSES AND HUGS.
OUR DEAR FRIENDS, JEFF AND KRISTINA WERE ON BREAK FROM SUNSET SCHOOL OF PREACHING AND THEY GOT TO COME WATCH HIM WALK. OUR OTHER FRIEND WHO WERE THERE WERE THE NORTON'S AND DEBBIE AND DARWYN.
GRANDADDY LARRY AND AUNT MARY CAME TO WATCH CHRISPY GRADUATE. WE ARE SO GLAD THAT LARRY BROUGHT G'MA, BUT WE SURE DID MISS MARILYN. MARILYN HAD TO STAY HOME WITH HOTSHOT WHO BROKE HIS LEG. POOR PUPPY!
I GUESS RICKY NEEDED A NAP DURING THE GRADUATION CEREMONY! HE THOUGHT THE GUEST SPEAKER WAS BORING!
MOM AND DAD PROBABLY CLAPPED THE LOUDEST WHEN HE WENT ACROSS THE STAGE. YOU KNOW HOW LOUD DAD CAN BE.
WHAT A GREAT PICTURE. BOTH CHRIS AND TANA WERE SO HAPPY THEY WERE ABOUT TO BUST!
LOLO HAD BROUGHT HER GRADUATION HAT WITH HER AND WANTED TO GET HER PICTURE WITH UNCLE CHRISPY. SHE WAS SO EXCITED THAT THEY HAD THE SAME HAT!
CHRISPY AND HIS GRADUATING CLASS FROM THE "TEACH" PROGRAM.
THE PROUD GRADUATES!
THE PRUITT, SAMPLE, PEURIFOY FAMILY SURROUNDING CHRIS. WHEN HE STARTED THIS ENDEVOR 3 YEARS AGO SOME MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS FUNNY THAT HE WOULD BE A TEACHER AND EVEN FUNNIER AN ELEMENTARY TEACHER. HOW WRONG THEY WERE! OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS CHRISPY HAD PROVEN HIMSELF TO BE AN OUTSTANDING TEACHER... IN THE ELEMENTARY! WHAT A GIFT THAT GOD PICKED CHRIS TO WORK WITH KIDS.

THE PROUD PAPAS. CHRISPY AND CALEB (11months) and RICKY AND COOPER (5months)
I AM SO PROUD OF MY HUSBAND! HE WORKED SO HARD TO GET THIS DIPLOMA!
SETTING GOALS! CALEB WILL GO TO COLLEGE ONE DAY. I WONDER WHAT PROFESSION HE WILL CHOOSE. HE LOOKS HAPPY ABOUT IT!
DID I ALREADY SAY THAT: I AM PROUD OF THE SWEETBOY!
WE WERE SO GLAD THE PEURIFOY'S COULD COME SUPPORT MY BOY. WE DID MISS MARILYN AND HOTSHOT, BUT THEIR ABSENCE COULDN'T BE HELPED.

JEFF AND KRISTINA BROUGHT A SIGN SHAPED LIKE BOW TIE. IT WAS PERFECT!
DEBBIE AND LARRY CAME TOO! THE KIDS WERE BOTH GLAD TO SEE THEM, BUT CAN YOU TELL THAT CALEB NEEDS A NAP?
ONE MORE PICTURE WITH TANA AND DAVID. WE HAVE PLANS TO SPEND TIME AT THEIR HOUSE THIS SUMMER. OUR LIFE LONG FRIENDS. WE GOT A DIPLOMA AND SOME FRIENDS OUT OF THIS LeTOURNEAU DEAL.
I MADE CHRIS A HALELLUIAH CHORUS CAKE. HE COULD RELATE TO THE FEELING. HE WAS ON AIR AFTER THE CEREMONY. HE SAID THAT IT WAS ONE OF HIS BEST DAYS. THE OTHERS WERE: WEDDING, CALEB'S B-DAY AND GRADUATION DAY.
SEVERAL OF OUR FRIENDS MADE IT TO THE AFTER PARTY. THE NORTON'S, RATLIFF'S AND SIM'S. FAMILY WAS THERE OF COURSE, PEURIFOY'S, SAMPLE'S AND PRUITT'S.

CALEB SAT AND ATE WITH GRANDMOMMY. I BLAME THAT AWFUL DIPER CALEB HAD THE NEXT DAY ON THE BEANS MAMA FED HIM AT DINNER!
I ATE WITH DEBBIE AND LARRY. WE DISCUSSED NEXT WEEK WHEN DEBBIE IS COMING TO KEEP CALEB FOR 5 DAYS WHILE MOM RECOVERS FROM HER SURGERY.
THEY POOR SIMS HAD TO HEAD BACK TO LUBBOCK THE VERY NEXT DAY. 9 HOUR DRIVE YIKES! THEN I'M SURE THEY HAD SOME HOMEWORK TO DO. KEEP IT UP GUYS! SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE! THEY WILL BE GOING TO CHINA FOR AN INTERSHIP.
IT LOOKS LIKE AUNT CINDY KNOCKED COOPER OUT! HE'S GETTING SO BIG!
BEFORE AND AFTER DINNER THE MEN AND AUBREY PLAYED BOCCE BALL. A COUPLE OF INTERESTING THINGS HAPPENED. CHRIS WAS WEARING HIS GRADUATION MEDAL AND A LITTLE BOY CAME UP TO HIM AND ASKED IF HE WAS THE CHAMPION. AFTER THAT WHOEVER WON THE ROUND GOT TO WEAR THE MEDAL OF THE CHAMPION.

AUBREY ON THE OTHER HAND GOT TO WEAR HER OWN SHINER. SHE GOT HIT IN THE EYEBROW WITH A BOCCE BALL. IT BLED AND OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS SHE DEVELOPED A HEADACHE AND TWO BLACK EYES! POOR SWEET GIRL. I'M SURE LOLO IS SORRY.

CALEB LOVED THE SWING. STACEY AND MOM STARTED VISITING ABOUT STACEY'S COUPLE OF BABYSITTING WEEKS. WE ARE SOOOO GLAD SHE AND MADDISON ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HELP US OUT WHILE MOM RECOVERS FROM HER SURGERY.
CALEB ENJOYED HIS TIME WITH GRANDADDY LARRY. HE REALLY LIKED HIS HAT!
WE SAT AROUND AND VISITED AFTER THE MEAL. BELLA WAS A CUTIE ALL DAY!
ALL OF US MOM'S SAT AROUND AND VISITED. YOU KNOW SWAPING STORIES.
CHRISPY GOT SEVERAL NICE GIFTS. $ FOR HIS CLASSROOM NEXT YEAR, $ FOR AN I-PHONE OF HIS CHOICE, A NAME PLATE FOR HIS DESK AND SEVERAL FRAMES TO DISPLAY HIS DIPLOMA AND TASSEL AND STUFF!

AFTER THE PARTY THE PEURIFOY'S CAME OVER AND STAYED WITH US.
BELLA AND CALEB SANG SONGS WITH AUNT MARY.
SUNDAY, MAY 4TH WAS GRANDMA STELLA'S 85TH BIRTHDAY. WE SANG HAPPY B-DAY AND SHE BLEW OUT ON CANDLE!
WE ARE SO GLAD OUR FAMILY WAS ABLE TO BE TOGETHER FOR STELLA'S B-DAY.

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR FRIENDS WHO SUPPORTED US THROUGH THESE LAST 3 YEARS OF CHRISPY'S SCHOOLING. WE KNOW SOME WERE THERE WITH US IN THOUGHT THAT WHOLE DAY AND JUST NOT ABLE TO BE THERE.

WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT CHRISPY WILL BE TEACHING NEXT YEAR, BUT WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED!

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR PRAYERS! KEEP THEM UP WE DEPEND ON OUR GOD'S HELP!

I KEPT ASKING PEOPLE IF THEY FELT LIKE THROWING THEIR HAT AND THEY KEPT SAYING NO. THEN CHRIS MADE ME HAPPY, EVEN IF HE ALMOST STABBED A GUY WITH HIS HAT! JUST WATCH AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT I MEAN.
