Wheeler Middle graduation

The final day of graduation season with  Wheeler Middle School for Brielle. There were announcements and awards, and choir performance and haka by the 8th grade boys— and we were surprised when Brielle was given the valedictorian for her class with four other students as well as being nominated and given the special certificate from her teacher for being the BEST in her class! We were beaming and so proud of her hard work and dedication — and her all around great personality! We are love this girlie!

 

DKIES graduation for Cannon

 

It’s graduation day!!

The crew out to support Brecon’s big day!

We are so happy Brecon was able to start and finish high school at Leilehua. He did well and had fun with his friends— and graduation in Hawaii is a BIG deal! 

The energy, support and enthusiasm from friends and families is amazing! The lei giving and sharing is so special to the families and graduates. We didn’t realize how important a big banner is on the football field to find your graduates …  so we did our best with a poster size cardboard duck taped on a pole and SUP paddle 

 

Lucky treat

 Cannon has been with us in Texas house hunting. At the airport heading for home he wants to go to Starbucks ( I accidentally bought him some treats and he loved it) so the whole trip he has been asking “ can I get a cake pop?”

So we are just waiting at the airport before we go home and Cannon asks if he can have one. 

This is what he said after sitting down with a shocked looked on his face

“So dad gave me his credit card so I could buy a cake pop from Starbucks and when I asked, the guy said I’ll just give it to you and didn’t charge me and I was so surprised so I said thank you”

And then he just kept repeating “I’m just so surprised” 😳
