Steph's Graduation Party

Yes fellow bloggers, I can finally say that our youngest daughter has graduated from that institution of higher learning.
Steph received dual degrees at the graduation ceremony, 5/22/10 from Missouri Southern State University, Joplin, MO.
Her Mother and I, along with her daughter and sister, are very proud that she persevered and graduated.
Degrees in Computer forensics an d other stuff like the CSI guys on TV have.



So to figure out a way to say thanks for getting thru college, the Barngoddess and I decided a party was in order......

My previous post shows how we prepared the meat for the smoker......
Here are a few pictures from the party.....

But before I go too far into partying.... I must take this time to thank my two younger sisters Mary and Carol, who sent Steph a watch for graduation..... what a gift, sounds simple, but Steph only wears it on special occasions... thanks again Mary and Carol.... may your life in Florida be long and rewarding and may you become the blue hair scrourge of the yhounger crowds.... thanks again....

so here are a few pictures from the party....


Casey, Steph and Derreck. Casey and Derreck are the two who helped shoot the cow, butcher it and then spend all night cooking it in the smoker... way to go guys.


This picture shows David and Sarah, Sarah graduated with Steph and is from St Louis, so she came buy to celebrate also. Sarah is heading for duty with the Coast Guard, and I am proud she is taking that step... way to go...
