They say, once it starts, it is like a snowball rolling down a hill, getting bigger and bigger as it rolls.
It seems as if our first two grandchildren graduated high school just yesterday
(Actually, it was two years ago),
and this year it is Sadie's turn.
The rest of the 25 will be following close behind.
Roger and I arrived at Rick and Jodie's the night before graduation.
We were greeted by this beautiful display of Sadie's talent as a potter.
It is a hobby that she loves.
Sadie's next-door-neighbor, Wendy, took these lovely pics of Sadie.
Friday morning, Roger and I went for a walk and took Blakey to the park.
He loves the slide!
These two are best buds.
Jodie planned an early dinner before the graduation ceremony,
and we had the traditional Baskin Robbins turtle pie
to celebrate the graduation and Rick's birthday.
We took pics in the backyard of our beautiful graduate.
Sadie is a top scholar.
Mom and Dad are proud of this daughter, soon to be a coed at BYU.
Grandma Pam and Grandpa Roger love this wonderful young woman!
So do Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Bart!
These two have a special little bond and they are alike in so many ways!
There is just something about fathers and their daughters!
The graduation ceremony was held at the U of U Huntsman Center.
We parked, then Roger lent his arms to the two grandmas.
Dr. Bart had to report to work at the ER.
There she is on the Jumbotron!
We surely do love this special granddaughter and are so proud of her!
As luck would have it, Sadie's sister, Abby "graduated" from 6th grade the next morning.
Her school went all out with a program including speakers, music, walking for their diplomas,
a reception outside afterwards and even a flash dance that the 6th graders had prepared.
The PTA provided balloons and lots of yummy treats.
Roger and I love it when we visit our cute families -
we usually get more than one grandkid thing going on and we can be a part of it.
High school graduation is such a special memory for moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas,
and we loved being at Sadie's.
Now we just have 22 more to go . . .
What a special weekend! Your granddaughters are beautiful! Yes indeed you do have a few more graduations to attend!
ReplyDeleteSadie is gorgeous. So she's headed to BYU? Congratulations to her and her sister.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love the pictures of Roger and Blake- so cute!
ReplyDeleteSadie is gorgeous!! What wonderful pictures and memories. I can't believe she's graduating I feel like that was just me. Those shots of dad and Blake are priceless. Abby looks so cute! Another great trip up north!
ReplyDeleteSadie is such a beautiful and talented young lady! I lover her pottery - she could start a business! The pictures of Roger and Blake are so cute - they have a special bond that is very evident. Both Abby and Sadie make lovely graduates! You look so pretty in all of the pictures - turquoise is a great color on you!
ReplyDeleteSadie is a beautiful graduate! I love her white gown...she even looks pretty in her graduation cap! I love the pottery she made...what a neat hidden talent she has! Abby also is so beautiful. I can't believe how grown up she looks. That is so nice you were able to go and support both of them!
