The Mighty, The Fine, The class of 2009!

I am a very proud Mom and Step Mom, but on Thursday, May 21, 2009 I was a very proud Mom - well Step Mom that is! Joshua was 1 of 809 graduates from Mountain View High School. It has been a very challenging three years but Josh did it! He Graduated!!!! And his Dad and I could not have been more proud. It was a very strange night as it was raining which is not the normal weather for May in Arizona. So family and friends sat in the bleachers under umbrella's while different people spoke, the High School Band and Choir played and 809 Seniors received their diploma's. Papa Jim, Nana Phyllis, Grandma Rosemary, Grandpa Al, Rob, Brad, Jenna, Sarah, Hunter, Emmalee and I watched and cheered. Grandma Rosemary and Grandpa Al (dressed for warm weather) sitting under their umbrellaJosh getting his diploma and shaking hands with a school representative.

Josh returning to his seat!


I think my favorite part of the whole evening was when we were all yelling "Yeah Josh!!! Way to Go" Emmalee yelled "Yeah Tator Tot!" - Josh calls her a Tator Tot so she calls him her "Big Tator Tot" It was really cute!

Josh - I hope you know how proud we are of you and we wish you the best of luck in whatever you do! You are an amazing young man and will go far if you just beleive in yourself!! May your dreams come true!

Love always, Dad, Jill, Brad, Emmalee, Papa Jim, Nana, Grandma Rosemary, Grandpa Al, Aunt Jodie, Jenna, James, Larry, Aunt Sarah and Hunter
