Whew! We did ALL that in ONE weekend?????

This past weekend, Jake and I had 2 very special graduation ceremonies to attend, in two very different locations. Jake flew to Seattle to watch his sister, Tessa, graduate from High School, and the crew & I drove down to Castroville to watch my brother, Nichola, graduate. It was very cool that we both got to be present at these ceremonies, and represent! It is all too surreal that the both of them have graduated from HS!!
Down in Castroville we shoved as much FUN as possible into the weekend. We played Clue (Mel only won once, thank you very much), fed horses, swam, rode horses, took professional family pictures, rode electric scooters, played Wii, ate some steak, attended the graduation ceremony, and just hung out. Whew! It was a GREAT weekend, and we enjoyed every minute of it. One of my favorite parts of belonging to my clans are celebrating the sweet spots of life, and this one was no different. It was a great weekend!


I made Nichola pose for a lot of pictures!

It is hard to get 10 people to look good at the same time, but this is the closest we go!





Lu & I play it up for the camera

Lu had the horse riding thing all figured out!



Running from the cows in his trunks & boots!

And a special good bye to Soline. She is going to live in France for 6 months, and we will miss her! I am looking forward to reading about her adventures on her new blog!

No way!! Tessa graduated? I remember when she was a sweet 8th grader with Will. Boy, the time flies. Sounds like a fun weekend.
