Arizona Grammy

So, we had a much better week this last week. Three of our family graduated. Katie (our youngest) from the University of Arizona, Evan and Collin from preschool! Lots of fun!

So, Katie is a graduate! She graduated from the U of A with a Bachelor's in Anthropology. She now get's to dig in the dirt officially and she seems to really enjoy it. She must, cuz she did this while raising Collin, being a business owner, a wife, a sister, daughter, and granddaughter! Plus she's pregnant with son #2! She wore lots and lots of hats and we are very proud of her! (The hat was actually Terry's from when he graduated....Katie didn't 'walk' so she doesn't have one of her own.)

So, Collin's preschool had a program for his 'graduation'. He, as of this Tuesday, will be in kindergarden! He was a shark in the play. They got to color their own guitars! And he got to beat on a really big drum, but we didn't get a very good shot of that. Sorry Collin. We love you!

This is Evan. HIS preschool did a graduation ceremony. Caps, gowns, tassels, the whole bit. He even got a 'diploma'! He was so funny! He took off as soon as we got to the school and when Heidi told him he had to come stay with her until they told her what to do, he said "Mom. I'm graduating today, I have to go see my friends!" Seriously! He is so funny! Afterwards, we went for icecream. Then, come the next Monday when Heidi told him he had to get up for school he said no he didn't cuz he already graduated! Aren't 5 year olds grand?

Look out kindergarden. Here he comes!

After Collin's play, we took him back to his classroom. He gave us all hugs and kisses goodbye. When it was Poppa's turn, Collin grabbed this little step and got up so Poppa didn't have to bend down to kiss him since his shoulder is broken. So sweet!
