te one where my niece, Brooke graduates from TT

She did it!  Brooke Noel made it out in 3 years and is ready to take on the world!!!  

We all got together at the Spirit Arena for her 3 hour graduation.  WHEW!  But there was no way we were going to miss her walking that stage!  HELLO!  We had rehearsed our barking yells for days!  Days, I tell you!!!  LOL  In fact, Jason was taking video with his iPhone when she walked and he yelled and threw up his hands, yep, the hands with the camera, so he got some excellent video!  LOL  

It's was crazy town afterwards.  So many people!  But I was bound and determined to get some family shots of our dazzling graduate with her family, so we found the one patch of shade and I started firing away.  I'm so glad when I do this.  I love having all these memories to look back on.  

I managed to get a few of her going across the stage.  I love having graduations with this big screen!  You can totally see the graduate and scream your head off at the same time!  And I did!  

She was looking for us!  Check out all those ribbons and chords.  HELLO!  Girl graduated with honors!

BAM!  She did it!

Here's where all the hugs come in.  We hug in this family.  A LOT!

And after all these years of me photographing them, they are sort of used to me.  I think they are kind of scared as well.  They never know what I'm going to do with that camera!  

The Happy Family!

I love these faces!!!!  Some of my favorite people in the world!!!

Emily's mom and Dad, Chuck and Pat Evans came for the graduation as well.  I love that!

Chief looking like a ROCK STAR with his glasses on!  LOL

I even managed to get in on a few.  

My beautiful girls.  HELLO!  I am BLESSED!

After the graduation, we all moseyed over to Cagle's Steak House.  Some of Brooke's roomies and good friend's joined us for the occasion.  We even ran into a few other folks we knew out there.

We finished the night with cake and drinks back in Slaton.  WE love you Brooke!  Can't wait to see what the world has in store for you!!!
