Tyler's 8th Grade Graduation

You think you can pick your own kid out of a crowd. You would think that when you say, there he is across the stadium, that at least one out of 6 people your with, that one person would say, "NO that isn't him". Don't take 10 pictures of some kid just because he has the same blue shirt as your kid does. But no, that didn't happen. We took pictures of some kid walking on to the football stadium. And when he got up, we got so excited to hear his name. But they didn't say it. We all looked at each other, thinking that the teacher screwed up. I was ready to give his teacher a piece of my mind. Could we have made a mistake??? And then we saw him, on the same side that we were sitting on, the side that kids walked right in front of us on. He had waived to us when he walked in front of us. But he said he knew we didn't see him, we where watching the other blue shirt. Luckily, we had time to get the camera out so we could take a few pictures of the RIGHT KID.

Notice the blue shirt.




When we finally found the right kid.

Next time he is wearing pink, so we know its him.

Congratulations Tyler!

If that second picture isn't Tyler, I can see why you thought it was him! I can't believe that is little Tyler! He looks so old! He looks as old as Ryan! Maybe its the clothes.

Congratulations Tyler! You proved that a hard work and perserverance can pay off!

That's a great story. Wow, he looks so mature in a shirt and tie. To think he was so close and looking right at you guys while you squint to see the other kid. LOL

Congratulations Tyler! Happy Birthday to his Mama. Can't wait to see your picture with a Speedo cake.
