Okay, so be aware...this is a HUGE picture post! We took so many pictures of Jade's graduation...it was nearly impossible to pick which ones to put on this post!
I'm not sure where to begin! My sweet Jade is now a bona fide adult! How is that even possible? It just seems like yesterday that my sister was screaming in my foggy post surgery state that I had a baby girl with Daddy's dimples!! What a blessing this baby girl has been in my life. Words cannot express how proud of her I am...I could never have guessed that Heavenly Father would have thought for one second that I was capable of raising such an outstanding human being! She has been blessed with so many gifts and talents and she just continues to develop them with her hard work and determination. She decided in 7th grade that she wanted to be the Valedictorian of her graduating class...from that day forward she has pushed herself beyond belief to reach that goal. And she did it! I know that the next chapter in her life is ready to happen...and I KNOW she is ready to take it on...I just don't know how I'm going to handle not seeing her bright and positive face every day! The phone lines better be strong, because they will be used to the extreme from Germany to Utah! Here are the pictures from her awesome graduation day.
Jade standing next to her school mascot...the BARON!

Yeah baby!!! "I'm done"!

I love these beautiful pictures. Your mom and dad are so cute and your bro is even cuter. Jade is beautiful and so is Saige. I know that was probably the happiest day of Jade's young life so far. You are going to really miss her. Better get that Skipe(?) up and a camera on it. You'll need it. Congratulations Jade. And of course that love song went right with the pictures. I love it. It goes with everything you post. Keep it up.
