Madison's a D.A.R.E. graduate!

Madison, Officer Closi, and Emma.
It was such a nice graduation. Emma read her D.A.R.E. essay and two basketball players from UNLV spoke. Towards the end, the Fifth graders sang the D.A.R.E. song and they did such a great job. Madison learned a lot from D.A.R.E.
For example, she slapped an aerosol can right out of Karley's hand when I was doing her hair and said, "If you can't eat it, you shouldn't smell it."And when I was making posters for Primary she reminded me, "Mom, don't you dare breath that in."
She's doing her part to protect our family's brain cells!

Madison with her teacher, Mrs. Morales. They both really enjoy each others sense of humor and she's been a great teacher for Madison.
Madison, Emma, and Ms. Allred (the principal)D.A.R.E... to hold your certificate upside down!

Riley, Dustin's youngest sister, graduated from high school on Thursday! Woot! Woot!
I love this girl! She is so fun and I'm really proud of her.


Dustin loves her also and was able to be at the graduation because he worked all night. That's right! Here he is after being awake for 20 hours and the party had just started at this point!
The proud (and relieved) parents!
Tyler and Dustin celebrate Riley's graduation. Party time!!
Hold on guys!
Gotta text by BFF! LOL
Okay, Done now! Let's Party!

Oh, good grief. I'll try one more time to comment.
Madison is such a cute and wonderful DARE graduate. It is funny however that they printed her certificate upside down. Oh, well!! She could stand on her head to read it though.
Good job Madison!!

Oh I LOVE the picture of the boys getting their groove on--FUNNY! Hooray for Madison & her D.A.R.E. enthusiasm! Tell her to hang on to that as she goes into middle school! And Congrats Riley!

Congrats Madison! D.A.R.E. to be cute...oh wait, you already are! You're going to have so much fun in junior high school! (Tell Riley congrats, too.)

Glad I got to sneak in for the dare graduation. Loved the story about Madison smacking the hairspray can away from Karley. She took her Dare lessons to heart.

Riley's graduation wouldn't have been as fun without you all there. Her brothers sure partied it up like it was their own graduation! Good times.

So fun. And Dustin is a great sport. That really was one dang long day for him. :)

Make sure she keeps that DARE book with her in middle school! Loved the upside down certificate.
You got some good pics on Grad day. The boys doing their dance is too funny!
