Mandy and Jace

That is her name when she is in trouble.

Last Saturday my little brother graduated from Grady High School. I know I couldn’t believe it either. I seems like just yesterday he was so little that I could beat him up. I won’t even try now. We went to his graduation Saturday evening and it was great. They asked him to do his bass solo at the ceremony and he did an awesome job. Everyone was very impressed. I don’t think those people have ever seen anything like that. (”How many strings does that thar thing have??) Another cool thing was that it was the principal Mr. Gipson’s last year there. So it was very special to see him “graduate” with the kids. The next day we had a big BBQ for him and Braden since they both graduated this year. We are so proud of both of you! There are more photos of the graduation and the BBQ on flickr.

We picked up these lilies at HEB Saturday and I think this is my new favorite color of lilies. They brighten up the house and make it smell great.
