So this weekend was "graduation attending weekend". First up, on Friday, my brother, Scott, received his Master's in Public Health from KSU!! Yeah....so proud of him for going back to school. His girlfriend, Jenn, did an OUTSTANDING job planning his party. Mom, dad, Marty and I chipped in too along with Jenn's mom Peggy and friend Lisa. But Jenn was definately the party planner and she did a great job. Thanks for making it a great party Jenn.
This is the grad gift I put together for Scott.....the before shot.
The after shot....it's a beverage bucket and stand filled with BBQ tools, grill cover, coozies, grilling spices and a picture of the grill, Jenn, Mom, Dad, Marty and I along with the boys we bought him.
I even "KSU'ed" the BBQ utensils.
The next grad gift I did for this weekend was for my cousin/goddaughter, Kelly, who graduated from high school. The picture I put in the frame is of her (she's on the far right) her sisters. You will never meet a closer group of sisters than these four. It's so fun to watch them together....they truly love each other not only as sisters but as best friends.
Now for the party pics.....Scott's grad party was held at the Kathouse Lounge in Aggieville where he has tended bar the last 3 years while he was getting his degree. They were kind enough to let us have our party there and were very accommodating. Thanks again to Jenn for getting this all arranged.

I have a feeling if the Kathouse is still there in 10 years Steel and Brett will fill Scott's shoes and tend bar there too.
Here they are discussing the strategy of how it's done.
Jenn did put together one surprise for Scott and that was having his best friend Tyler come from CO. Once they got it arranged, Ty, told Scott he wouldn't be able to make it due to family coming to visit. Scott was bummed. During graduation Ty texted Scott with a message that made Scott question Ty's whereabouts. He soon found him in the crowd and had a good laugh. Thanks Ty for coming and making the day even better for Scott.
Hank, a former TKE brother with Scott as an undergrad also stopped by to congratulate him.
Scott's Kathouse Co-workers had poster in the bar just for him.
So the next graduation was Kelly's on Saturday in Odell, NE. She graduated with a class of 26. She graduated from the same high school as both her parents as well as my mom and her other siblings.
Kelly and her amazing parents and my Uncle and Aunt...Daylon and Kay.
Kelly and her fairy Godmother/cousin...Me.
Kelly and her siblings...L-R Jordie (she'll be a Jr. next year), Kelly, Jamie (she just finished two years at SCC in Beatrice and is heading to Peru State in Peru, NE), Kasey (she is finishing up her Physical Therapy degree), Trevor (who is Kasey's fiance, they will marry June 2012) and in the front row is baby brother Korey who will be a 3rd grader next year.

My mom and Blake visited these little cuties quite a bit while we were there. Hopefully they'll be around the next time we visit.
It was a fast and furious weekend as always but a good weekend none the less. Congratulations to Scott and Kelly and all the other graduates of 2011.
