Ansel's Graduation!

We celebrated Ansel's high school graduation on June 2nd. It's so weird to have a kid old enough to graduate from high school. It just doesn't seem that long ago that he was born! It was a beautiful day and couldn't have asked for better weather for a graduation.  

Ansel with an early graduation gift....a money pizza!

Last day of school with Jonas.

Went to the new Mod Pizza for lunch to celebrate!

Ready for graduation!  Graduation was at 4:00 at the Toyota Center. Maureen and Grandpa Hatch came as well as the Hatches from the west side. Grandpa and Grandma Childers and the Ungricht's were there too.

Some pics before the walk in....

Waiting for commencement to begin.

After graduation we stuck around and took a bunch of pictures and then it was back to the house for a little cake and celebration before Ansel took off for his grad party.

Ansel won a TV at his all night party!

Quilt made by Grandma Hatch before she died. She got three done and planned on giving them to her grandchildren as they graduated

The next day we went to a few grad parties and Jonas was able to connect with some of this friends. Not too long we'll be going to their grad parties!

Seminary graduation was on Sunday. Here are Ansel's friends from the ward: Aaryn, Kendra, Brandon & Lizzy.
