This morning was my son’s graduation ceremony. The last time when I was this excited was when he graduated from Pre-K. Now that he’s becoming a young man, he’s moving on to bigger and more responsible things. It is very rewarding to know the accomplishments that my son has gone through for over the past 6 years. And this morning shows the hard work we all put into it and I’m very thankful for all the people that are involved in our lives. Below are a few snapshots I took. Sorry for the quality, I was using my Dad’s camera and wasn’t sure how to work the settings 
The Graduation Walk
With his teacher, she’s an amazing woman
His father attended the ceremony as well
His proud mama 
I remember a certain SOMEONE told me and everyone else what a bad mother I was to my kids. Maybe in her eyes, but if I can feed my kids, clothed them, spoil them with expensive games and toys, raise them to be well behaved, take them to school and both my kids are in the Honor Roll, then I know I’m doing something right. Oh, and did I mention that he received a President’s Education Award for Outstanding Academic Excellence honored in his name? Yeeeah, I’m REEEEAAALLY bad. So this one goes out to her… neener neener NEEEEENER!!!  That’s a different story. Thanks for reading.

thanks girl!
i just like to play around with colors. I have too much pigment samples I’ve bought but havent used, so my goal is to use it because it would be a waste of money if i didnt.
I think you will look good with some bold colors, just dont be afraid to play around with them.

Congrats on your son graduation! He is an excellent young man! About the comment of the lady, it reminds me of a quotation by Abraham Lincoln, “I am not bothered by what others said as long as I know they did not speak the truth of me.” Not in the exact words though. I can’t remember the exact.

You’re such a proud mama. I too wish one day I could teach kids to be well behaved and taking over the honor roll…that day, instead of being a proud mama like you, I’ll be a proud teacher. HEHE. Keep your head up…you’re definitely doing an excellent job!!!
