Father's Day

 We had a great Father's Day celebrating all the dads. 

 We all had lunch and then Jason and I celebrated him by going to have foot massages! 

We love all our dads!

Flag Day

 
I had a very enjoyable flag day.  

I celebrated with some friends in Galveston this weekend.

I got a celebratory cake from my workout friends.

And since Reed is the only child at home, he got to celebrate last night too.

9 Years Later

 

Not Surprised

 Kyle and Reed didn't go to orientation.  One guess what they did instead...

Yep.

Our Own Orientation

You'll notice that I don't actually have any pictures of JR at orientation since we never really saw him. They separated the kids and parents after the welcome session, and that was the end of him acting like he knew us.

Here I am showing off my swag.

Jason and me eating lunch in the cafeteria like we think we're students.  Our student was off eating with the friends he made. 

We also ate dinner by ourselves and slept in the hotel by ourselves. 

Here we are the next day heading back for more orientation, alone again.

So there you go.  Jason and I had a very nice time at college orientation all by ourselves!

Feelin' the Same

 I don't know why I thought we'd be relaxing this summer. We've been going nonstop since school let out. I'm definitely feeling the same as this racoon Kyle trapped at MawMaw and Paw-Paw's.

Don't worry, he was moved to the river and away from the chicken and guinea buffet. 

Graduated and Birthdayed

 JR is already at camp, but he came home just long enough to celebrate his birthday and graduate.

He came home Friday and we went to dinner to celebrate his birthday.

Then he graduated on Saturday morning.

The four of us took a picture of ourselves before we headed out to graduation because we're taking credit for all our support of getting him to the finish line. 

He might not have been the Valedictorian, but he got elected one of the "most likelys" and in this family we'll celebrate any "honor"  

After graduation we all lined up, had photos made with him, and ate lunch.

He was back on the road that afternoon and back at camp, where I was sent a picture of him on his actual birthday (Sunday) since I literally have eyes everywhere!
