My oldest nephew, Triston Michael, finished out his elementary school years this month! Crazy how quickly time passes. Today would've been the last day of school at CHA... but that date was moved to a week earlier, thanks to the pandemic and homeschooling fun. Since the full class ceremony was cancelled (along with field trips and the D.C. trip), the fam got together to celebrate his 6th Grade Graduation this past weekend!
Here's Triston reading his cards while we sat and talked by the pool! ❤
A celebratory cookiecake... with sugar cookie instead of chocolate chip, since that's T's favorite!
The women and children of the fam!! (*Just writing that made me think of Titanic's "women and children first" line. So many quotes from that movie just play in my head randomly from time to time.)
Dad took this pic of us, and I love it! =)
Hanging out by the pool outside... it was such a nice day on Sunday, and there's so much summery cuteness in these pics!
JB and the Mini Miss K, who accidentally fell in the pool fully dressed earlier and was not happy about it!
Carter Lee hanging out on the pool ledge... the same ledge where I set up the camera with the timer for our family pic above!
Jace practicing with his "fish trap," aka an old ice cream bucket that he and Grandpa are gonna take to the creek and try to catch something. lol
Kyndal Faith putting her $$ from Babah into her new purse! Cuteness!!
Me and the boys (and Jace's new tackle box).
Dad and Jace after Dad gave him this wallet. I gave him my driver's license to show him how you can put cards and stuff in there, then he asked for it two more times... he pretended to be a policeman and said with some aggressive authority, "Show me your slicence!!" And after he said it that way more than once, Kyndal Faith corrected him, which he found highly irritating and then asked me for clarification to prove himself right. So I explained that it really was "driver's licence" not "driver slicence," and he did a little glare and eyeroll at Kyndal. lol Kids are awesome and hilarious!!
Rach and T-man the graduate!!
This = Rach and Kyndal at LifeChurch earlier that morning. Kyndal talked to me on the phone as I was driving into town, and she said: "Guess what!? Mom and I have on matching dresses today!! And our sweaters kinda match, but mine has more jewels on it, and hers... doesn't have as many jewels!" lol I just love listening to her tell stories... it's always a struggle not to laugh! =)
JoBug opening up our umbrella for the summer season so we could have some shade as it kept getting hotter out!
Jace showing me his tackle box, then quickly posing it up when I got my camera out to get a pic of the bright bait fish in there. lol
One final pic of T-man that day... looking mischievous and amused as JoBug burst into an extra-loud song rendition of "Happy Graduation Day to you!!" lol (to the birthday song tune, of course)
And this = page 2 of my letter to him!
I'm thankful to be his aunt, and I'm excited to see what God has in store for his future! ❤
