Rylee's High School Graduation

Rylee's graduation was on a Thursday and because of life and other things going on nobody in my family were able to make it. It made Rylee and I sad but there was nothing we could do about it. Bob and Alison were able to come and Kenedy and Tyler came down for it so Rylee had support and love. We found seats off top the side of the stage and while we waited we watched a montage of the graduates slide through on the big screen. We were prepared and when it came to Rylee's picture both Alison and I got pictures of it. She looks so beautiful in her Senior picture, this is the one she chose for her yearbook photo and I really love it.
While we were waiting Ryker went off on an exploring adventure and just like his Dad likes to do decided to see how far he could get. We spotted him down on the stage looking at things and adjusting plants. He is obnoxious but it was a little funny to see him down there with not a person questioning or stopping him.
We were able to spot Rylee when she walked in and had an eye on her throughout the ceremony. The ceremony was actually the best one I have been to, the speakers kept it short and they quickly got to the graduates and handing out diplomas.

Because of where we were sitting we had a pretty good view of Rylee walking across the stage and getting her diploma as well as her coming off the stage.


It took us a minute afterwards but we were able to find Rylee and give her all of the congratulatory hugs and get to picture taking. Ashleigh sent Rylee's Graduation gift back with me after Heathers wedding which was candy leis with money attached to them. I put them on her as soon as we found her and she loved them. RYlee also mentioned after her BSU graduation that she was a little disappointed we didn't get her flowers so I made sure to get some Tulips, her favorite flower, to bring and give to her.

Ashleigh sent a picture of Abigail and Atticus watching Rylee graduate, so cute!

After the picture taking we went out to dinner and had fun eating and celebrating Rylee. It was a good day and I am so proud of Rylee for all of her accomplishments. I am excited for her to move on to College and for her future which is going to be so bright!

Alison sent me all of the pictures she took...
