Family Time

Last week Julie was in town for Paige's graduation and Caleb and Johanna came into town while she was here. I was so excited to see Rosie again.  She has grown up so much!

I didn't take any pictures with Julie, but I had fun meeting her for lunch one day. On Friday me and Mel went over to Lindy's apartment and hung out and visited.  It was really fun.  We all had fun holding Rosie.

On Friday night Me, Mel and Tiff went to Haley's graduation party.  We brought Tessa and Hallee with us and my parents met us there.  It was a lot of fun.  I love any chance I get to see Ron and Diane.

They had a yummy Cafe Rio dinner and the girls enjoyed all of the good treats! The girls had fun taking selfies and hanging out while we visited with everyone.  These two look too much like teenagers in their selfies!

I loved seeing Mel and Tiff go out and dance with JJ and Haley.  I wish I was more like that, I can't get past my self-consciousness.  They looked like they were having so much fun and Haley and JJ loved it. Tessa and Hallee went and joined them. It was really fun to visit with everyone and see the Hawkins family.

On Sunday we went over to mom and dad's to celebrate all of the graduates.  There are a lot of them! 

We also celebrated Damon's birthday.  I can't believe he is 8-years-old now.  

It's getting real, it won't be long now until these two are High School graduates.

The girls were excited to see Rosie.

I'm glad I got lots of time to hold Rosie at Lindy's apartment because I think she was overwhelmed on Sunday. I don't blame her, there were so many people and everyone wanted to hold her.

Caitlyn and I got to hold her for a minute.  Keith got to hold her for a while and he said she was happy and content, I wish I would have got a picture of that.

I love watching Damon and Jonah play together at grandma's.  I think they both enjoy rough housing with each other.  This time Jonah used Damon as his weights.  Damon thought that was pretty fun!

Hallee wanted in on that!

Dad talked for a bit and congratulated all of the graduates.  He talked about how important education is and how his parents instilled that in him.  Mom's parents instilled that in her too.  Hard work and the importance of education has definitely been passed down through the generations.  We are a hard working bunch!

It was fun to have so many of us together and have time to visit.

Time just keeps flying by.  It doesn't seem like that long ago that the grandkids were babies and now we will have three great-grandkids by the end of the year.
