Celebrations Galore!

June is all about celebrating around here!  After MANY birthday celebrations for Keira, it was time to bring out the noisemakers and confetti to celebrate Noah's graduation from grad school! In March, he completed his Master of Science in Computer Science  (with a 4.0 no less!), but the commencement ceremony did not take place until June.  Hence, another reason to celebrate!!

Can you spot the graduate?

All smiles now that all those hours in front of the computer are finally done!

About to walk across the stage!

The ceremony was quite long (what graduation isn't?!), so we kept ourselves busy with different activities... like snacks!

And taking lots of pictures of ourselves

Much to Jonathan's pure enjoyment!

Gotta have a party shot!

And still more pictures

With the graduate!

We are so proud!!

Mom and Son

Yep, you can tell they're all related.  :)

Great family pic!

Even the in-laws came down for the celebration!

No matter what, Keira always seems to steal the show!

The windblown look

After all the portraits, it was time to party!

We rented a gazebo at Mission Bay and brought in Phil's BBQ for a yummy feast to celebrate
NOAH FEST 2!

Thanks to the Wannenwetsches for the awesome sign!

It was a bit cold and breezy by late afternoon/evening on the bay, but we all had a lot of fun together!

Keira got a birthday present goody bag from cousins Katie & Alan and inside was this great kite!

Kite-flying with her daddy--yeah!

We were thrilled to have lots of extended family there to celebrate with us!

Thanks, Howarths, for making the drive down!

That kite was pretty sweet!

Some croquet action!

And a little football!

This was all pure joy for Keira, who absolutely LOVED hanging out with all her cousins!

A super fun round of frisbee!

The whole gang!

 We're all just a little bit crazy!

Congrats, Noah, on completing your Master's!

And thanks to all our family who came out to celebrate with us!
