Mitchell's Graduation

Tonight, Thursday, May 26th, 2011, was the most important night of Mitchell's life. Tonight he graduated from Corona del Sol High School! Mitchell has his high school diploma! I am so proud of Mitchell for being determined and committed to graduating high school.

The GRADUATE!

Mitchell is leaving high school and Grant will be entering high school in August.

Grandma & Gramps didn't want to miss their 1st grandchild's graduation. This was a historic evening in the Robles family.

Ahhh...don't you just love my shirt! I love Mitchell and am so proud of him.

All of the graduates lined up before the ceremony started. Mitchell is the 10th person from the left in the row closest to the camera. He is in orange. Be careful as you count the graduates because some of them are standing really close together. Amy said this picture looks like candy corn. She is very observant.

Here is where Mitchell's name is called and he walks across the stage. Sitting in the stand cheering for him are Grandma, Gramps, Julie, Jordan, Amy, Madi, Sarah, Stephen, Andrew, Barrett, Presley, Grant, Brent & myself.

As soon as the ceremony is over, Mitchell is on his phone. Talk, talk, talk!

A big kiss from Grandma. Mitchell is swarmed with excited kids wanting all of his attention.

The proud mama and her boy!

Julie and Mitchell. Later in the evening they reminisce about the times they lived in Kingman together.

Aunt Brenda was the first one to make it onto the football field to congratulate Mitchell. It took us much longer to wade through the crowds to make it to him.

The graduation after party was at our house. Mitchell's good friend Taylor joined us for all of the fun.

We had cake, brownies, chips, salsa, pizza, veggies & dip, plus, fresh lemonade.

Mitchell opened lots of gifts and read lots of cards. Sarah's present came first. She had several commands, or things he had to do before he could get his present. We recorded it but it is like 15 minutes long. When you come over next time, I will show it to you. It is hilarious!!! Here Mitchell is sporting the necklace the McKinley's sent him.

Mitchell received a card from Nana & Popo.

All of Mitchell's cousins wanted to help him not only open gifts but clean up all of the garbage!
It was a super fun party. There were lots and lots of laughs. Dad was laughing so hard he was crying. Congratulations Mitchell! Happy Graduation!
