Son's Graduation Pics

[Penni60 45]

My BABY graduated this past June 22nd from High School. Boy do I feel old? All my kids are out of school and three are on their own. My newly graduated son is still living at home and going to College now. I kind of like him living at home but I know there will come a time he will want to leave. :think

Anyway, thought I would share some pics of that glorious day. Here is the first set of pics all from the actual day. I was so excited about him graduating that I spaced out getting pics of him at home in his cap and gown. DOH!!! :faint:

AFter graduation we all went to Denny's to eat supper. The graduation started at 6:30pm and was finished at 8pm so we were famished. Denny's was Bradley's choice since it was closest and it is one of his hangouts with his friends.

His friend Ryan (the streaker) and Kyle, came over to the house later that evening to talk about the event. I was cracking up at the streaking. His sister caught the act on camera and Ryan had it to show us. Ryan's parents was in on the caper and encouraged him to follow through with it. TOO FUNNY!! The cops that had him in handcuffs was cracking up and told him he had some balls to pull it off. They let him go with NO charges filed. They had to make it look good in front of the school officials. We all booed when the cops took him off the field. Other than Bradley getting his diploma (green construction paper) that was one of the highlights of the ceremony. LOL!!!!!

Too cool!!

My son is going to be a Senior this year. I can hardly believe it. We just had his Senior pictures taken. If I could figure out how to get them downloaded off the DVD they gave me, I could post some here.

Congratulations, Penni!! You have every reason to be proud!

Congratulations, Penni! Holy cow, what a milestone.

Hmm... I'll be 57 when my youngest graduates from high school. Yikes!!

Yeah it was really hard to raise 4 children as young as I was and alone but man am I reaping the benefits now. I am 45 and my baby just graduated High School. NOW I can enjoy life a little. LOL!!!!

Hey Penni -

I don't know how you did it with 4 kids. It's just me and my son since he was a baby. It was hard when he was young, but he'll graduate next year, and I'll only be 43!

Let the good times roll, baby!!!

Ya know when you are faced with certain challenges in life and you know you either have to face them and persevere or just lie down and die then you have to make that choice. I thank GOD for my children every day, because they are what saw me through to keep on living and keep putting one foot in front of the other. I think I would have thrown in the towel years ago if it weren't for my children. I knew I had to take care of them because there was no one else to do it. They saved my life during those rough times.

My mom had me when she was 15 and my brother when she was 16 and then two more 15 years later...my little sister starts college this fall. I don't know how she did it. I had my first at 20 and I look at him and think...there is no way I am old enough to be his mother...lol...I'll be a mess when he graduates but hopefully I'll look good since that is 4 years away.

Congrats on your sons big day Penny!! You must be so proud.

Congrats Penni to you and your baby boy!!!:clap2:

My oldest (son) just graduated too. I have three others and my youngest is 3 so when he finally graduates I will have been living with my children for 33 years!!!!!!! ouch. Lucky me... and I am single too!

That's what I get for starting young and having 4 of 'em each 5 years apart.
