My internet was down for two days…
It allowed me to ponder the fact that I have a child who is now a high school graduate. Where does the time go?
Isn’t he handsome!!!???
It was a big class (786 students) most of whom seemed to be award winning, honor roll-making, superb young adults. Amazing. We’re all so proud of him!
After the ceremony everyone came back to the house to celebrate. And to take lots of pictures..
With Grandparents…
With brothers…
The whole family…
Fabulous Auntie Mo…
One thing that was very cool is that my childhood best friends, Eva (who is also Devin’s godmother) and Scott were there for it too.
Handsome Hubby, Scott, Eva and I all grew up with each other and graduated from the same high school in 1985. (shut up shut up shut up). It was amazing to be able to have them here as a part of Devin’s celebration.
Good grief. 26 years ago the 4 of us were dressed like this!! Yipes! ( Weird… I don’t feel old.)
My friend Jodi’s beautiful daughter, Chandler, also graduated with Devin.
Then as the graduates left for Grad Nite, the grown-ups settled in with some wine…
Then things got a little silly.
We had aunties sitting on nephews…
Grandparents laughing at the conversation….
Then the tequila came out…
…and things got really silly.
At this point, I believe that I was trying to prove that my boobs were higher than hers, even though I have had more kids… (And yes, I had to get out of my chair to make it happen…)
The day was filled with lots of happy tears and laughter. It was fabulous.
Congratulations Devin!
You did it!!!
You can post as many grad photos as you want. Now lets see some of your grad…
Congrats to your son and to the proud family.
Congratulations to your son! He’s so lucky to have his Grandparents there for graduation too. Great pictures!
Well congrats to you for getting one through high school!
Nice pics!
Grad night definitely looked fun at your house. Lots to celebrate… Congrats to you and your son!
Mine’s just starting high school this year. Wish me luck and give me your best advice for getting through it!
How fun! I love it when people share really happy family moments on their blog. Especially for a High School graduation, and all the grandparents there. Love, love, love it.
Now, no matter how much I stood up from a chair, there is no way I could prove my boobs were higher than anyone’s. Unless of course I was wearing my miracle VS bra that I pretty much wear all the time…….I am the female version of the man who wears “lifts” in his shoes to appear taller. You just think I look really great in tight tshirts…..
I’m proud of Devin for making it through high school, it’s a place I never wish to return to! And I am very proud of you for making it through the event looking fabulous and with your makeup in tact. I’m fearful I will be a blubbering mess!
Way to go Devin and good luck in whatever path you choose to take in life!

Yeah for your son!!!!
Congrats to your son. That’s amazing. I cannot believe you are an amazing mama to a high school graduate, and I have an even harder time believing that you graduated in 1985. You are just too young and fun!
Congratulations on making through your first child’s graduation!! You still look young enough to be his sister.
Congrats to your son!! Your pictures are wonderful. Happy Friday!
Awww, how sweet!! And, yeah, looks like your boobs were higher there.
Dang… yet another person wo is younger than me!… ( but you should be happy!).. your grad looks wonderful.. ready to tackle the world!

New to your blog and am enjoying looking through it! Congrats to your son – I can’t believe both of my girls have graduated…where does the time go?! Seems like I was the one just graduating!
Love to see your friend Eva (who I’ve enjoyed watching for years on tv) and family enjoying the celebration!
