Konner's 8th Grade Graduation!

On May 23rd Ducky Graduated from the 8th Grade! It's more of a promotion but considering Mesa Public Schools didn't do promotions while us other three were in school Konner is the only one that 

got to have one which is a fact that he enjoys!

This is the only picture that Konner would let my mom take of him before he left for school that morning! He probably knew I would take enough of them later!

Before we went to the promotion My parents, Llama, and I went to Cafe Zupas for lunch where I had a tasty sandwich and a super tasty bowl of tomato soup! Of course I took this time to take a picture of Llama and I!

On an awesome side note Cafe Zupas serves a chocolate dipped strawberry with each meal! YUM!!

Next it was on to the promotion! A blurry photo of the program!

In order to get good seats we got there over 30 minutes early so what did Llama and I do to pass the time? Talk about tattoos and people watch! Isn't Llama's tat awesome! I've always liked his!

Finally when it started we were first treated to trumpet players.

followed by the choir.

After that one of their teachers talked for no more than 5 minutes! (The way every promotion and graduation should be!)

Then it was on to the name calling and certificate handing out! The kid in the middle is Konner's best friend Alec!

And this is Alec getting his certificate, his fast ninja reflections made it blurry.

Ducky waiting in line to get on the stage.

Waiting and waiting.....

and waiting and waiting to get his certificate.

And finally Ducky getting his certificate!

Lastly was the 2 minute closing remarks!

When we got outside I found Ducky right away but then we lost our parents and had to look for them so we could get pictures!

Ducky and me! I swear this kid's voice not only drops another octave every time I see him but he also grows another half a foot!

I was so happy for Konner and this big step of moving on from Junior High and to High School!!
