Yeah, I've not done much documenting lately. I'll just use the lazy & busy excuse.
Now I'm back & will start with my Niece Briann (Brooke's younger sister). This year was her senior prom, graduation & then I gave her & her friends a beach trip.
First her prom. She & her friends (most since pre-school) posed for pictures before heading out for the big night. They are all so very beautiful (inside & out).

Most of these kids have been together many many years & all are very smart, well behaved, spiritual kids. Several in her class got 100% Bright Futures Scholarships & many 75% and are going away to the big FL schools for continuing education. She doesn't do so well on tests & got 25% so she is going to one of the most accredited nursing schools in the East. She's very smart & was in the top honor program at her high school. She gave the opening prayer for the graduation ceremony & did a great job. I wouldn't have been able to stand up in front of over 700 people & give prayer the way she did!. Greg & I are so very proud. The 12 or so kids that have 'grown up' together had a post graduation party that my sister & the other parents organized.
All the kids decorated their caps & this is what Briann did.

It was a nice party with a picture booth, corn hole, a DJ & lots of food.
Finally, since the friends were all going their separate ways I decided I needed a beach vacation & invited her & some friends to the beach for a week.

| But they did have time for some fun & a pic in the water. |

| Pausing between GoPro antics. |
 |
| Yes, they multiplied. One extra came before the week was out. |

| Me & my beautiful niece the day they left. |
We had a great time & I am very happy to see her continuing on with her life & growing into the beautiful person that I know she will be from now & forever.
