proud sister....

...was a good way to describe me on saturday!

my sister graduated!! she now joins the forces of educators everywhere....bless her :)

waiting for her to make *the walk*...

sorry for the quality of these pics....i really need another lens :) here she is heading to her seat...

"graduates, turn your tassles!"

whooohooo!!...

and the moment she has been waiting a LONG time for....her diploma!!....i have never met anyone more deserving than my sister :)

so, so happy!!! she is going to make an AMAZING teacher....her students are quite blessed this year to have her!

ahh, the graduate...

i am quite sure her kiddos and hubby are *almost* as happy as she is that it is finally all over!

my mom and i can't stop smiling for her....

a mother and her babes...

oh this one is kinda scary because she will be wearing her high school one before we know it....yikes!

my sweet babes....happy to celebrate aunt lisa!!

....after the ceremony we headed back to my mom's for a graduation cook-out celebration!

lisa had all her family and a few close friends to help celebrate the awesome day!

i can't believe this is the only pic i have of my brother michael and brett.....

they left the ceremony as soon as it was over to start cooking the meat and they did a great job!.....even surviving the 100 degree temps...ugh!!

helping their momma open her presents....she was quite blessed and will have a decked out classroom and some new clothes!!

she was very surprised about her gift from mom....a new camera!!...and i am excited about having someone else to share the family photographer task with :)

all the kids....they love their momma/aunt lisa/mrs. lisa!!
