Congratulations are in order

Because this fella graduated today!

 Lydon Edward finished fire science classes and is now certified in not only Fire 1 but Fire 2, Folks!!  That's a big deal around these parts.  So that calls for a celebration (and a blog post!).  We rounded up Grandpa Bob, Grandma Carol and Alan and Grandpa Tim and Grandma Margy to par-tee!

 Grandpa Bob made the best home-made card (even though it took him a couple of 3 or so hours to make).  It was  a super cool card that involved stealing Lydon's picture from his facebook page, a very nice firefighter poem, and some sappy/tear jerky words of encouragement(who taught him how to do those things-especially stealing pictures from facebook).  It totally put my balloons, congratulations button and crepe paper to shame.

 He followed it up with a new firefighter hitch cover for Lydon's truck and a firefighter key chain .

 You have heard of re-gifting.......how about re-enveloping?  Ask Grandma Carol what was up with this re-do of my envelope.

 After gifts, we partied! 

Why does it always look like they are trying to run from me and my camera?

 We made the boy a feast fit for a Firefighting King of steak and chicken.

Congratulations Lydee--you are only 19 years old and you are EMT certified and Fire 1 and 2 certified and we are so very proud of you!!  You are almost there with your EMT intermediate--keep up the good work and soon enough you'll be living your dream!

We Love You!
