Parker's 5th Grade Graduation

I cam across an old film camera of mine and noticed that I had taken some photos with it. I had no clue how long ago, so I rewound it and had the roll processed. Well they were from 2007 and Parker's 5th Grade Graduation. Here he is with two of his friends, Kevin Dober and Tucker Marr.

Parker Graduates from Middle School!

Parker graduated from Oak Hill Middle School on Monday, June 21st. Hard to believe he will be in High School next year.

During the graduation they revealed the Lacrosse banner highlighting their undefeated season.

His name will be forever at the school.

Party for Brenden!

On Saturday, May 15th, we had a party for Brenden celebrating his graduation. We had the party at his Aunt, Melissa's house. Over 60 friends and relatives showed up.

Brenden was wearing one of his gifts from Judy and I.


We used the same theme for his cake: "What happens in Iowa ... Sucks!"


The proud parents!

His SAE brothers showed up. We don't know whether it was for Brenden or if it was the free food and beer!

Brenden Graduates from the University of Minnesota!

Brenden graduated from the University of Minnesota at Northrup Auditorum, Friday night. He is the 3rd generation to graduate from there. Both his mother, Judy and his grandfather, Ted graduated from there. He starts an internship with Land-O-Lakes in Sioux City, Iowa. Judy and I drove 23.5 hours non-stop in the blue truck to attend. (We are leaving the truck with him.) Also attending were his God Parents, Sandy and Chuck Hatfield, his Aunt Melissa Korzenowski, and his Uncle Kyle Korzenowski.
