8th Grade Promotion

Friday night was an exciting night/evening for Bridget.  It was her 8th Grade Promotion.  All ready to go.....
 


 Her and Olivia sang that National Anthem at the beginning and they sounded great!
 Bridget getting up to receive her Faculty Award!  We were way excited about this.  The orchestra played which included Dustin.
 Her with her certificate.  There were 3 girls that tied for Valedictorian  - Bridget was one of them and was so excited!  She got the medal that is around her neck.

 Grandma and Grandpa Flake
 Grandma and Grandpa McLaws
 Whipple, Ashley, Hunter, Mean Sienna, Bridget and Olivia
 Sienna and Bridget
 Bridget and Megan
 Bridget and Jessica - the 2 twins that are 5 years apart and from different Mothers!
 These 2 had tons of fun together in Jr. High.  That is one sad thing about Bridget moving on.  They were both in Student Council and got to work together lots!  They will miss each other.  They are still going to be at the same school but it is 2 totally different lives - different classes, teachers, lunch times etc.  They got to be good friends.
 We love these 3 boys - Jordan, Noah and Barr.  They are such good friends to Bridget.  It doesn't matter what they are doing if they are together they are having fun. I am thankful for some good boys for these girls to pal around with.
 Bridget and Barr both got the Faculty award.  Kind of interesting because Barr was the 8th Grade President and Bridget was Vice Pres.

 Torin, Bridget & Megan - the 3 Valedictorians

 After Graduation we had family over for dinner.  Had to get a picture of these 3 boys in their wrestling shirts.
Lon and Toni had a party at their house for the 8th graders.  I told them Bruce and I would help so we went to help man kids!  After that party it just made me so glad I am not in Jr. High again!!
Bridget is such a good girl.  I am so thankful to have her as my daughter and an example to the other 4 kids.  She always does what is right and makes being a parent of a teenager job a lot easier!
