Serious face. I can barely get him to smile. But caught this one right in time. I tried to get pics of the actual ceremony but it was too dark.
Getting silly face. Of course he will only stand still for 4.3 seconds. He didn't want to be in uniform anymore, but I made him in order to save my life from many a family members who would murder me if I didn't get pics of him in uniform on his graduation day.
Peak of silliness face. Even rubbed off on Tristan. I think it's hereditary. Joe's class of 8 graduated with all above minimum requirements. I was so proud of him and was glad to be there for him. Of course Tristan yelled out,"Hey, there's my Daddy! Hi Daddy!" when he went up on stage to recieve his certificate. Then saying loudly that he wanted to go to school too so he could have a present. All in all it was a good morning. I think it was a big accomplishment for Joe. He completed something he put his mind to and now has something to show for it that can last him a lifetime. (he can order food and understand the people from the 800 number helplines bah hahahahaha)

My new dining room table and my new car. Boy am I spoiled....We got the new table because the one we had was great for just us. But if we had company over, they had to sit on the couch. Not cool. So....I found a perfect one that is the barstool height, built in leaf, and 6 chairs. It's rectangle when the leaf isn't up, and a big square when it is. It's cherry wood too. We plan on buying 2 more chairs later, but 6 is good for now. It seats 6 without the leaf.

The car....ooooo the car. It's a 2007 Accord Coupe EX-L. L is for lllllllleather, 6 disc CD, XM radio, ipod hook up and buttons(holy cow!!!), dual control ac, heated seats, GIANT trunk, moon roof, pretty much totally loaded. The only thing this car doesn't have that it can come equipped with is the onstar and gps thingy. Tristan loves the car and wants to go bye-bye much more often. Not too bad in the chick type car look I think. But I got alot of hard times by the dealer because I wanted black with black interior. What can I say.....I'm partial to the color? And I will always match the car, ha!
