A great party

The weather cooperated for our party. It was a hot, sunny day in the Pacific Northwest. We bought extra bags of ice, to keep the beverages cold-and we were set. I want to thank all of our friends and family that made it over to our house.  Summer is such a busy time, and I appreciate all of you that chose to spend some of that time with us. We had my family here. I did miss my parents though, as they are cruising in Alaska this week. We had friends from many, many years back. And even Michael (and Kelsey's) 3rd grade teacher stopped by. I had coworkers here, that have watched my kids grow. We had friends from recent years, and then there were Michael's friends that hung out for the day. There were some other friends that didn't make it, and I am sorry for that.
Special thanks to:
The Quintanilla's for letting us borrow their volleyball net, extra chairs and tent.
Janet for making yummy sandwich wraps.
The Kanzaki's for their delicious sushi.
Alexis for the snickerdoodles.
Kim and Jim for the flowers.
Jude for the extra table.
Krista and Paul for lumpia and the garbage/recycle cans (labeled so nicely by Amy).
Kerri and Eric for the beverage bucket.

I want to especially thank those of you that haven given Michael graduation gifts. It has been overwhelming!  I am doing my best to get him to write thank you notes.  But his mom thanks you all very, very much.

You are very special people in our lives!  I am so fortunate to have you all around me and my family.
I was busy being a hostess, so not many pictures were taken.  Here are a few:
