Graduation and baseball























Well it is official, Brandon is a college graduate. We had a wonderful time at his graduation. We all went to St. Louis on Thursday May 15th and met grandma and grandpa Roemer. They took us all out to dinner to celebrate Brandon's graduation. We stayed all night in a hotel and Brooklyn loved swimming with her siblings. The actual graduation was Friday morning. Grandma and grandpa Brown came to that. It was a nice ceremony with Chris Matthews(Hard Ball)as the speaker. We cannot tell you how proud we are of Brandon. He is a wonderful young man with a lot of goals and ambitions. St. Louis school system is lucky to have him for two years. If you don't know already, he has commited to teach in St. Louis for two years with Teach for America. I have no doubt, he will make a difference in someone's life! He has brought us joy since the day he was born and now he is out on his own and I am sure will be a success. Thank you Brandon for being you and making us so proud! We love you and your brothers and sisters have such a role model to look up to! Good Luck!

We have also been very busy with baseball. Bryce just won a tournament and Brooklyn loved every minute of it. Brady is busy playing golf and basketball and Brittany has started her special olympics softball. It will be a busy summer, but it is perfect with Brooklyn here to share it with us. Enjoy the pictures(Mysty)! The one picture is Brandon with the senior boys cross country runners and the other is with the girl and boys c.c. runners. Brooklyn was great at the ceremony, because she slept during the whole thing.(thank you God)
