Happy Graduation Day

Today was Ryan's graduation party.  It was a lot of fun.  The weather cooperated, too.  It was around 88 degrees with a nice breeze when the party got started so it was very comfortable.  Everything was set up outside on the Morales' beautiful patio/pool area that overlooks a lovely golf course. 

If you missed my entry about the Smell-O-Gram this might not make any sense.  LOL   When Ryan opened the gift bag and saw that stuffed sock with the band around it reading, "Smell-O-Gram for Ryan Morales", he doubled over laughing.  "How did you remember that?" he wanted to know.  "I can't believe you remembered that!"  He gave me a big hug and we both laughed about that day again.  We had a good time talking about a lot of the funny things he and the other kids did going to and from school all those years.  I never thought I would say this but I do miss driving car pool and spending time with the kids.  They've grown up way to fast.  I've known Ryan since he was a baby.  It's been a joy to watch him grow up and to become such a fine young man.

The only disappointment - I had my camera set on black and white! I cannot believe I did that.  Oh well.  It's not the end of the world.
