Graduation Photo Share

Here's our girl...the happiest day of her life thus far...for sure.

The 2nd Marlar to graduate from high school and to walk across that infamous stage.

Walking in for the Processional to the tune of Pomp and Circumstance.

The other girl is Jaliza Marlin. Thank goodness for a Commencement Program, Ashley pronounced it like "Jillisa."

In the sea of black caps...there is a girl anxiously awaiting the walk across the stage. You can see the nervousness on her face.
The walk across the stage and the pride just beams from this girl.

The Faribault School Board member congratulating our girl and handing her the Diploma Binder that will house her Faribault High School Diploma.

The Recessional...after Principal Turtle presented the class, they all tossed their hats...Ashley included. She lost her sash in the process and the blonde girl behind her here, Jessica Maas, helped her get her hat back on and found her sash for her.

And that's the story of a girl they said wouldn't live past the age of 7.

Congratulations Ashley Marie Marlar!!

We love you and are VERY proud of you!!

Love,

Nana

Safe and Sound

Well, we made it safe and sound.
And I have internet thanks to my mom buying a wireless router.
AND that was easy enough to install after I installed her new printer.

Erik has his very own list of chores to complete this week compliments of grandma.
We'll see how much money he takes to camp with him when he's done...the list is quite long even if it's typed up!

Natalea is at her friend's house for the night and Ashley and Megan are spending the night again at grandma's with us. Should be an interesting week...when do I get to go somewhere and spend the night? Heh.

I'm way jet lagged and have homework to get done...so ttfn!

Happy Friday!
Love,

Random Thoughts

As promised...photos of my Honor students in the paper.
Gabby and the other 5th graders...notice that her and C.J. Freeman are listed by each other...they're buddies. ;)
My son, the Bobcat! The principal stands to be 6'3" (I asked him) and my son is an inch shorter. He really sprouted up this past year and I'm sure isn't done growing taller.

We are really proud of our childrens. Erik, Gabby, and Mo all made the Honor roll at least once this past year and Natalea is bringing up the rear and will shoot for it next year!

The Little Mermaid is still on....after 20 years of existence. I know it's been 20 years because Ashley was just born when it came out on DVD.

My hair has curls. Again.

Now to let it grow out. Again.

One more day until FLYDAY!

No paycheck yet. I hope the PTO one isn't this much of a hassle.

I cleaned off my scrapdesk and put away the AWESOMENESS that Tania Willis sent me in exchange for the Legos I sent her. Man that girl gave me TONS of stuff! Her generosity and creativeness ROCKS! Check out her blog some awesome tutorials...we LOVE the Monkey one!!

Graduation party supplies are bought and paid for (Thanks Tess!) and I will make the Mint Patties when I get there...I have to make some graduation caps tonight! Should be easy since I'll use my Slice machine! Now the question is, is how many patties come to a package? I'll get those when I get there...that will give me something to do crafty while I'm there!

Toodles until tomorrow!

Halfway

Today is June 1, 2009.
Halfway through the year.
Officially.

Packages were mailed at 11:00 a.m. my time...for those of you expecting them.
Hopefully my mattress will make it to the basement before I get there.
I still have some things to finish up and God willing, I'll get them done before Wednesday night.

This includes reading 100 pages in the Art History book. Ancient and Roman Art...get to the good stuff already...I want some Picasso and Van Gough. I have the online version at work and I'll try to get that read in my "down" time. Heh.

I think I have everything ready to go for the next 2 weeks here at work. My boss should be alright and I shouldn't have any phone calls. Key word being SHOULDN'T.

Anywho, on to the next Mission.
Toodles for today.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, FLYDAY!!
Love,
TT
