Keelan's Graduation

Keelan graduated from Gateway High School on May 23.  He has already completed one year of auto mechanics classes at Pickens Technical College, and will continue there next fall.  We are very proud of him!

We took a few family pictures before the event.
 Here he is with proud dad and mom.  

Justin, Taylor, and Caylie with Keelan.  

Samuel didn't want to be in the picture.
(We had a talk about that afterward . . . )

With Grandma and Grandpa Beck.

With Grandma Altman

This was on the jumbotron at the auditorium.

And here they come!

(And now will commence a whole lot of pictures entitled "Where's Keelan?"  Haha.)

He was in the first row.  Here they are lining up to get their photo taken and then up to the stage.

Almost his turn!

I was frustrated that I completely forgot about bringing my real camera.  These pictures are all taken with my phone - zoomed in as much as possible - so they're not real great.

Shaking the principal's hand.  It was washed out on the big screen, but it's as good as it was going to get.

Celebrating after turning the tassels.

And there they go.

Thanks to our friend Andrea for getting this shot of Keelan and Caylie!  This was outside after the event.

Congratulations, Keelan!  We're proud of you!

Keelan's Graduation Party

We had Keelan's graduation party a few days before graduation, on May 20.  I had planned for people to sit out on our big pack porch and play games in our new yard, but it turned out to be cold outside, and there was still snow melting from a spring storm a few days earlier.  So, we were all in the house!  But we had a fun time and loved visiting with family and friends who came to celebrate with Keelan.

Thanks for coming, friends and family!
