Last day of school!
Nay wanted to wear the shirt I wore for Kyrie's 5th/8th grade graduation for beach day! See the Kyrie faces all over! I love it! And I realized she wore the same shirt last year on the last day, too!

Broadway with my theater partner!




The final performance of  Back 2 the Future after 2 years! The writer, Bob Gale, of the B2F movies(and also musical writer) came on the stage at the end and told the story of how the idea of Back to the Future story came about. It was so interesting! Loved hearing how he pitched the story around 50 times before it was picked up to me made into a motion picture!! That's perseverance!





Parked outside! Delorean!


Ring around the Rosie!


We loved meeting baby Maysen! Can't wait to get to watch her in January!

Feeding the goats and horses again!









Love that they have had time to share a room!


Love watching Kyrie compete at the varsity level this summer! He had to work hard, and it was a good challenge for him!


Coach Gruhler! And Coach Bob Benson that has been coaching for 50 years! He was coaching when Maco played at Fort, when he coached at Union, and now when Kyrie is playing! What a legacy!



It's too hard to go back through all the games and include video, but these two videos were ones that were sent to me from a parent when I couldn't attend, and I was super grateful!




Graduation! So thankful I had my partner in crime to wait in line with me!!



We went 1.5 hours ahead of the gates opening to get in line! 3 hours ahead of graduation start time! Not too bad! But it was hot!!


The people in front arrived at 9am! Not happening!




So thankful we were able to secure 16 tickets! Each graduate was given 8, so I had to hunt for an extra 8! Thankfully for Kyrie's graduation from Skyview, each graduate gets 15!!


The line all the way around the soccer fields just before the gates open!











Hilarious!:)

Nyla may be walking this stage in 16 years!

Mia spent hours bedazzling her cap with the University of the Pacific logo!





Aubrey's grad party!



I have had every one of Mia's teachers sign this book since preschool! I think I figured out it's more than 50 teachers over 16 years! I was so excited to give this to Mia, and more excited that she never found out, even though there were some close calls!


Another grad gift was a blanket we had made for her with a lot of her t-shirts throughout the years!





So many special memories!


Graduation pictures before the ceremony!


















Last minute prep for Genova and Mia's grad party!
