Graduation Party

I was so glad to finally plan this party for Bear.  I just did a simple party for him with our closest friends and family.  I had a friend make the cookies and cake for dessert and she also made the CUTEST cake ever!  


Aren't these the cutest cookies ever?!  




 And here is the cake!  I was so impressed!  It was beyond adorable..I didn't want to cut it up cause it was so cute haha..but I did and it was also super yummy!!




The table decor..His certificate and a couple of firefighter figurines.  Loved how it turned out.



 These was the dessert side.  Bear's mom also made some of the yummiest desserts.


My sister painted this picture for Bear a couple of years a go.  It was the perfect touch to add to the decor! 

I hung up some of my favorite pictures of Bear throughout the academy and in between them I had little cutouts of firemen.   

Here is his badge and name tag for Class A uniform. 

Some of our cousins, Aunt, & Grandma with Bear. 

 My brother Josh and sister in law with our nephew Jackson.

Me and Becca with Riley. 

Bear with his friends!  These guys are so fun to be around and always know how to make us laugh!

Here we are with some of our good friends from our ward.   

Becca & Erik with the cutest twins ever!!! 

 I love these babies so so so much!  I think the flash was a little to bright for them!

Here are the parents hanging out!  They are such a great support to us!  We love them!  
Bear's mom, my Grandma, and my parents.

Graduation

Bear graduated from the Fire Academy on Oct.4!  I couldn't be more proud of him!  He has been trying for about 4 1/2 years now to get hired on.  I am proud that he never gave up on trying.  He worked so hard for this and it's a relief that he has officially been hired on!

Here I am pinning his badge on him at the graduation.

 These are the 8 guys who went through the 4 week academy.

 Our good friends came to the graduation to support Bear.  Bear and Logan went through the college academy together 4 years a go and we have stayed friends with them ever since!  Logan has also been hired on but with a different city.
