Beta Gamma Sigma ceremony...















Bud and I watched the Beta Gamma Sigma ceremony while Mom and Holly watched Kendall....thank goodness too ;] Bud and I enjoyed a nice quiet cookie and coffee break while we saw Danny get his "major award"...











Waiting for the ceremony to begin
















Each student was introduced and a short statement was read outloud...Danny thanked his family for all their support =]















All these pics were taken secretly..since this is an elite group of people and part of a secret society. Oh no. I've said too much...














Getting "pinned"
















Signing "the book"

















After the Beta Gamma Sigma ceremony we got Danny's cap and gown
















"Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is"

Yay! All done with Part 1, now time to eat and relax before the graduation!



































Walking next door to eat lunch


























































































Time for GRADUATION!!




































"Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out"
~Robert Collier





















































Whoooo Hoooooooooooo!!















In some of the next few pics, you might notice champagne glasses...just below will be Danny =]




















He did it!















Kendall did great during the 3+ hours we were there....we walked around the gym and tried to get Danny's attention. We were successful most of the time ;]














Hmmmmm. Doesn't seem like him and his buddies are listening to the speaker right now... Danny was lucky enough to be able to walk with his friends with whom he worked on his last project with!! A big get together is planned sometime in June so we can all celebrate and share war stories =]





























The "Cool-iers"




Thanks Dad, Linda and Uncle Chris for sending the leis from Hawaii! They were awesome!!









Kendall showing her sign for "all done"














Danny dropped off his gown and then listened to the message his folks left on his phone! They were able to watch the whole thing online! We sure missed you Tom and Raelene!













So glad he's DONE!!
We made it!
We survived!


We're still married


AND, we still love each other!!













Thanks Holly for coming =]


You are such a huge help with Kendall! I was able to get some great pics and have a little bit of quiet time with you around!












Thanks Mum and Bud for coming! You always seem to spoil us when you are here. XOXO













And with the graduation all over, let's get back to KENDALL!
Soccer time!














Kendall and Coach Dillon...Kendall will be moving to the next age group mid June =[ Thanks Coach Dillon! You Rock!












Since we got home so late on Friday, we went to Old Chicago for Danny's dinner celebration and then had his cake on Saturday =]




































Kendall wanted to lick it =]


















Playing outside with Gramma



































We would like to THANK EVERYONE who emailed, texted, called, Facebooked, e-carded and sent Danny a card for your thoughtfulness!! What an amazing group of family and friends we have! We are blessed to have you in our lives!!










Stay tuned...looks like we have more adventures awaiting us...


We love you!
