Graduation & Promotion

Spencer graduated from Ballard High School last Friday, June 13th.  

 Walking to Memorial Stadium.  We got lucky and found parking right on the street.  We had been on the road for about 20 minutes when we realized that the "no parking" time was 5-7pm and it was now 7:04pm--so we parked right where we were much to the chagrin of the people behind us!

 Spencer in the sea of faces.

 This Cailey from the Prom pictures in my last posts.

 These are two girls who went to elementary school with Spencer.  Carissa the girl in black was his best friend in Kindergarten.  She went to a different high school but came to the graduation because she knows lots of kids from Ballard.  Natalie in the red has also been with Spencer since Kindergarten.

 Cooper was promoted from middle school to high school today, June 17th.  The ceremony is outside the school in one of the parking lots.  It's low key because it's a promotion NOT a graduation.  This is us hanging out before the event.

 This Cooper and group of his middle school buddies after the ceremony.

 The other ginger boy besides Cooper in this picture is a boy named Jayden that always calls me mom at school.  Funny kid!  The tall boy in the blue polo shirt in both pictures is his best buddy Jack who has been his friend since pre-school.  Hard to believe but they have stayed friends all this time.  Jack is on the waitlist for Ballard next year and will hopefully get in, otherwise this will be their last school years together.

None of the pictures from the actual ceremonies for either one are that great so I didn't post them.  A big couple of days in the history of the Chandlers.

Spencer's Prom

This was Spencer's actual date for Prom, Jesse Murray.  Spencer says they didn't actually spend much time together that night.  Kids are weird that way these days.

 This is Spencer with his good friend Stephanie that he has known since elementary school.  They have been in cross country together all for years of high school.

 Spencer with his usual photo pose - mouth open.  He's with Jesse & Cailey.

 Spencer & Cailey again and his usual photo pose.

 Spencer with Jesse.  It is a really nice photo I think.  Turned out really well.

 Not sure who the first girl is in the I Dream of Jeannie out fit, but the 2nd one is Stephanie, then Jesse and another friend, Natalie that he has known since elementary school

He had a great time that night I think!

All these kids went to elementary school together and were together for prom night.  Imani, Claudia, Morris, Gail, Max, Sophie, Peter, Bev, Sean, Shelby, Tanner, Gail, Mark, Stephanie, Spencer & Carissa.  All grown up now.
