Grizzly Spirit Forever & Ever

When One Chapter Ends, Another One Begins.

I can't believe I'm writing this, but Bernan Brian has graduated from high school. I repeat. He has graduated from high school. I mean, it's definitely believable that he graduated, but it's unbelievable how old that makes me feel! I mean, I just graduated from the same school...5 years ago...and so did Kurtis and Michael. 

Like. What. Just. Happened.

So now that he's graduated, he's officially ended our family's era at Mission Hills. At least until some of us older kids have some kids of our own, and then they can go to the same school in like 20 years. But for now, the era has ended, and Brian ended it with a BANG!

So congratulations Brian! To celebrate, let's look at some of the beautiful pictures from your graduation. About 10% of them are nice pictures where everyone is smiling and looking. The other 90% are the usual awkward pictures our family always seems to take. 

After about 5 hours of sitting in the sun and waiting for graduation to begin, here you are! This was right before your cap flew off. Haha. 

And here is when you got your award! YAY!

A little bit after this, you got your diploma! 

Here you are with your mommy and daddy, and one with grandma as well.

Then you have some adorable pictures with you and your friends.

You and Saloni--the happiest you'll ever look taking a picture together.

Now here's you and Saloni--this is how you normally look together in pictures. 

You and your friends, including the guy who had the big head thing that we were supposed to get for you, but didn't. Sorry!

And one last one, just because of Saloni's face, and yours.

And now....it's time for AWKWARD HUGS. Everybody's favorite! Cue the start of some of the most embarrassing, cringeworthy, and funniest pictures ever. No captions necessary.

And last but not least, this keeper.

One day, we will learn to pose like normal people and take normal pictures like the rest of the world. But for now, we will cherish these pictures of us looking like somewhat wild animals attacking each other, because really, everyone's a Grizzly at heart. Except not really--that's just my attempt to tie this whole thing back into the title of this post. LOL GO GRIZZLIES! Forever and ever.
