Our Bird's Ready to Fly

Tonight, Kyle graduates from high school. For his party last Saturday, I made a slideshow of photos from middle school and beyond, and I've narrowed my favorites down to a handful that tell you just what this kid young man is all about:

Having fun... 


Loving his sister...




Making little kids giggle til their smiles hurt...


Being confident...


And, of course, being popular with the ladies...


Here's to another 18 years of smiles this big.

  2. You have a very handsome lad, what a smile!

    Love the green hair one.

    Do they grow too fast, or is that just me?

    Take care. xxx

  9. You know, most guys can't do green - on him, it looks good. Sorta.

    He's a fine looking young man - you are obviously proud - and deservedly so.

  16. I like all the pictures, especially the one with green hair and the one pushing his sister away. Typical brother. My all time fave though is him on his sister's back.

  17. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. This made me cry and cry. I have no idea why. I don't want my baby to grow up... He must stop this instant.

    I am wishing him much happiness also. He looks like the sky is the limit!
