Big Cousin Noah: High School Graduate

Noah is an officially an Ole Miss Rebel now and we are so proud of him and SO grateful that we were able to celebrate him!

Look at these 2 nephews of mine, just so grown up. I have so many memories of when they were babies and toddlers and kids and I just love that I get to be a part of their adult lives now, too. 

Brandon has been working hundreds of hours a week for all of 2017 so he was unable to go with us, but he sent love and congratulations from afar. 

We left all of the kids with a babysitter, which was AMAZING. 

Also, I got this insightful text from Lily during the Graduation. 

Look at my cute family. 

Nicole managed to perfectly capture Max. 

The boys have been talking about going to "Alabama" for WEEKS. They love, love going to Aunt Manda's house (Max)/Uncle Zack's house (Anderson.) and I totally get why because it really is like a vacation. 

This time we got to stay at a hotel because there were so many people staying in "Alabama." The boys were in HEAVEN and even wanted to save the key cards as a memory. 

This is breakfast #1-everyone can eat syrup in the bed when I don't have to wash the sheets!

And breakfast #2!

Max said, "Mama! We can cook here!" 

They had a microwave....

Max. Love him. 

These 2 boy cousins. 

Levi hates, hates, hates me/everyone. It is borderline hilarious. But, he loves Anderson and the feeling is very, very mutual. 

Because of course Aunt Manda has a hot tub that she will heat up any time of day/night for these cousins. 

Levi does love Mom. He basically loves Nicole, Mom, Lily, Reese, Anderson.....and that is all. 

Also, Aunt Manda did such a festive job with all of the decorations and food and details. She is the best hostess. 

Quite a bit of this occurred. 

Aunt Manda OWNED corn hole

I mean, we each even got an Ole Miss goody. 

This baby nephew is headed to college. I cannot even wrap my brain around that fact. 

I am so, so grateful that he still calls me Aunt Sissa, that he has been such a huge part of my own boys' lives, that he lives close enough where we can see him so often, that he is the perfect person that he is and we get to love him.
