My Nephew Mark is a graduate of Orange Park High School Class of 2006!

and as the valdevictorian said in her stirring speech, I hope his summer is "fricken sweet"

The illustrious Squillen AKA Suzanne Quillen. We met up at Scrapbooks in Jax to meet, exchange gang signs and cookies. Which were fabulous, by the way. FAB-U-LOUS.

TuScrap and SayFiddy rockin the hizouse. We're down.

Enjoying cookies and gradution presents in green. Making the usual jokes about sharing and "how much do you really love your family"

answer: not that much.

pre-ceremony getting ready and sitting around and doing some hair ironing. We do enjoy this period of time in our family.

No really. Hair ironing. I meant that literally.

My adorable Mother and my adorable niece Sarah

All he needs is some bling, a cutlass sierra, and a trucker hat, and he's off the chain.

Luke graces us with his presence for the pre ceremony getting ready and cookie eating. His arms are bigger than they look in this picture. It's a bad angle.

Surprising what a little hair ironing can do.

Quit toying with our emotions, David.

I'm really sorry that I cut Mark's head off and that Luke is on the cell, although I know he can't help being so popular.

Lily gets the most love in the family. It's like she's a cute doggie or something.

Mark playing something guitarish and soulful. Don't let the businessman attire fool you. He's all bohemian. Fishing and picking. That's what he's about. But then there's that whole full basketball scholarship thing.

"Hey! Maybe I are a genius!"

The Fam. Minus three sibs, three cousins, and two sib in laws.

The gorgeous Marlars

The boyz.

Sarah Missy and Mary. I think this may be my favorite.

Scott treated us to the wine tasting at Amelia Island, and we practiced our wine tasting skills at his table. Missy said we should just walk up to him and say "My, you look handsome in that fish shirt." We thought that was really funny.

Mom especially.


She is laughing at Missy still. We do alot of laughing when Missy is around. She is the funniest person I know.

I believe this is the part where my camera got the nickname "The Menace." Inspite of it's ubiquitous presence, we had such fun staying downtown at the omni

where my shoes mached the decor

and Missy made us laugh until we cried.

She's so sensitive to things. Like bad movies that make you cry only because they are trying to make you cry so that you leave thinking you were touched.

And she's such a good eater! ;)


It was a wonderful, wonderful weekend. Unforgettable.
