8th Grade Graduation

High School here we come...... Wow!  I really thought that that sentence would be farther away.  But the time has come that "Lil Man" Vincent is now officially entering High School.  Now, which one???  We are not actually sure.  He is automatically enrolled into Barry Goldwater High School but we have him on a waiting list to attend Sandra Day O'Conner High. 

We started the afternoon with his favorite type of food.  Sushi/Hibachi. We finally found a resturant that is very similar to Something's Fishy in Santa Barbara. 

It was a wonderful place and the service was more than fantastic. 

Vincent enjoying his food!!!!!

My yummy Sushi that I was very selfish with. :)  Okay so I offered; but I was so happy when niether of the boys wanted any.

The staff had asked Vincent why he was dressed up so nicely.  He mentioned that it was his 8th Grade Promotion.  The Manager of the Restuarant came over, started playing that large drum while the rest of the the employees sang a song to him.  I have to admit. It was pretty darn amazing.  They all had good voices also. 

They even gave him his own little dessert.

We then rushed right over to the High School where they held the Promotion.  Wow.  It was a big event.  It was interesting sitting in the large bleachers watching 350 8th graders wait, line up and be free of school for a small period of time.  As Brian and I sat there thoughts were going through our heads of all the things to come in the next four years.  Oh?!  Are we ready for this?  Whew.... Well even if we are not ready its coming anyway. 

It was such a great night.  We are so proud of our Lil Man.  Who pulled off a 3.85 GPA.  We couldn't be prouder of our Freshman.
