Lakeland HS Class of "2013"


My, oh my, how time does fly!!
2013 used to seem so far away
but it's here AND Riley's an official high school graduate.

The funniest graduation quote I could find was:
"The tassle was worth the hassle"!
I don't know if it was a hassle but we are so proud of Riley.

She was quite the decorated grad:
academic honors & national honor society ropes.
national honor society collar
drama & academic charms for her Lakeland medal



And here we have Hannah, Class of 2015.
Alec, Class of 2019.


And Ian, Class of 2022.


Her class had a total of 345 students
and half of them graduated with honors.
Not too shabby!




After the ceremony,
we meet her out in the hall
with Grandma & Grandpa Day and Grammy & Papa.

It took us so long to find her that
we missed getting a picture with some of her friends,
but she swears that they took some and they'll 
be on FB soon! :)

It's crazy to think that she has reached this milestone
 and is moving onto the next chapter in her life.
I've finally accepted that I can't stop the clock
or the hands of time.
As parents, wouldn't that be great?
But that's what life is all about - 
moving forward, learning, progressing, and change.
