Blake the Graduate!

This past Sunday was Blake's graduation ceremony at Cal State Fullerton.
Hes considered himself "graduated" since December, when he took his last final, but he finally got to "walk" and I was very excited for him.

He truly earned his Bachelors in Communications with an emphasis in Advertising. (YAY BLAKE!)

Thank You!

His family was at the ceremony, including Mom and Dad, Jordan and Freesia, Quinn and Becky and Vance and Melissa. We were so very thankful they made the trip to be with us on Blake's day.

This ones for Mom and Dad!

Especially since we didn't have any ticket and basically "snuck" in at the last minute. (they let us in)
Blake's family had to sit in the very back (so sad) but I grabbed my baby belly and walked around the front and center of the seats until someone said I could have a seat they were saving. :D

Yes, I'm milking it. No, I don't care. My feet hurt, and I got the see my Blake graduate up close and personal. :D

My goodness, he's handsome!

We were only missing Jillian, Kyle and Becca, who were in Utah welcoming the newest addition to their family, Baby Paul Michael Gardner. (Hello, Paul! We love you.)

Welcome to the family, little one! <3

After the ceremony we had a mini photo shoot. 

(by the way, Dad was the photographer the entire time, I did grab my camera but didn't use it much. Thanks Dad!)

Brothers and the Wives.

Its the Greens! (all 5 couples.)

aww, Parental love.  

Our growing (and successfully educated) family

LOVE HIM!

Brothers.

The Ladies. 

After we left the Campus, we all went to my Dad's house for a super yummy BBQ! I, unfortunately, didn't take ANY pictures there, but it was lots of fun.

There were cupcakes, decorations, sour patch kids, hot dogs, peach soda, hot wings, frog eye salad (brought and made by Blake's fantastic mother) enchiladas, family and friends. It was so nice to be with family and celebrate with Blake.

My Dad is awesome.

But Sunday was all about the Blake and I could not be more proud of my husband. He worked so hard and sacrificed a lot for us and our family. 

I absolutely adore you, Blake. 

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
