Last weekend, we celebrated Haylee's right of passage by going to her Junior High graduation. Now, you might be thinking, "Junior High graduation? Isn't that a little dumb? Almost as dumb as kindergarten graduation?" Yes, under normal circumstances a graduation ceremony for young teenagers would be rather silly, but you need to understand that at Haylee's school, each class is together from the time they start kindergarten, all the way through eighth grade. Our kids' school is truly amazing academically, but after wearing uniforms and being with same kids for 9 years, they are definitely ready to move on to high school.
Haylee shaking hands with her principal, Mr. Nauta. Is he relieved to see one of his chattiest kids move on?
Haylee's teacher, Mrs. Phillips, doing her annual roast of each student, the candy awards. Haylee got a glamour gloss pack, a "Take Five" candy bar for missing an unusual amount of Monday's, and Sugar Babies for her crush on a younger (7th grade) man. Don't ask!!
Watch out Sohi...you don't know what's coming! Bristol, Elena, and Haylee are the three girls going to Sohi next year from their class, that is if we don't home school her first. Way to go Haylee! We are really proud of you!

Look at you go blogger!!! Great pics. Thanks for sharing. Still wish I could've been there, even if it was cheezy. Excited to see all of you soon. Way to go Hay! Your Auntie sure loves the crap out of you, speaking of crap, just remember that I used to change (some, not many) of your poopy diapers. (it still counts)
