Trying to tell us he wasn't going to keep his gift but that didn't happen, we won that battle :)


So proud of this kid! He will always be my baby even though he's outgrown me :)
 

Michael is a wonderful daddy & is totally proud of his boys!

Love these two!!
 
This is what 13 yrs of school is all about :)
 
 
 
 

Levi's Graduation

We are so proud of our oldest son Levi! He's turned into a wonderful young man & today we enjoyed celebrating a huge milestone in his life. We had lots of family & friends (who are like family) come to support him during the ceremony & to his party. We are truly blessed with lots of great people in our lives.


Here he is just walking into the gym.

Standing to get in line for his diploma

Just got his diploma & shaking Mr. Delk's hand. He's our elementary principal & he will always hold a special place in our family's heart. He's a great man unlike no other.
 
He had gotten that diploma :) I love this pic besides him having those cat eyes you can tell he was most excited to reach this milestone in his life :)

John our Valedictorian, he mentioned that Levi was one of the first kids that welcomed him into their 5th grade class on the first day he came to CHES. It made me all teary to think that my 10 yr old would be the one to step up & welcome him :)
 

Lucas, Levi is trying to stand on his tip toes to be as tall as him lol They work together at the park & are close friends :)
 
We are VERY proud parents of the young man that he has become, we had lots of wonderful people surrounding us today to share this special moment in our lives :) We are truly blessed!!
