This is my graduation announcement that I made myself. I think they turned out pretty cute.
This is the beginning of the graduation ceremony. I ended up being like 10 rows from the front.

Also during this week we had Sam's Grandpa Knotts funeral. It was a tough time for Sam and his family. We could see if coming but I know that he is know resting peacefully and is up with his family in heaven and is no longer suffering from the effects of Leukemia. On Friday, April 27th we went to the funeral home with his family for his viewing. It was good to remember his life and to see his legacy. On the left is a picture of Sam while at the viewing. His cousin's daughter was a little bored so they brought out the balloons and blew them up. Sam attached a few of them on his head.Then on the following day, Lawrence Dean Knotts was laid to rest in the Spanish Fork Cemetery. I have posted his obituary below:
Lawrence Dean Knotts
1928 ~ 2012
Lawrence Dean (Larry) Knotts passed away on April 19, 2012 from complications of Leukemia. He was born September 30, 1928 in Spanish Fork, Utah, a son of George Knotts and Francis Elizabeth Moore. Dad spent his entire life in Spanish Fork attending school, working and living except for the 3 years he spent in Europe with the Air Force. In returning from Europe he met and fell in love with Martha Fotheringham. They were married March 25, 1950 and became eternal sweethearts January 18, 1961. They had 5 children; Lana (Larry) Evans, Jerald Steven (deceased), Ronnie (Annie), Joseph (Nan), and Calvin.
Lawrence was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints serving in many positions. He loved serving the Lord and his fellow men. He loved his family dearly and was dedicated to helping them learn life's important lessons. He was a hard worker and always did his very best in whatever job he set out to do. He was an exceptional gardener, woodworker, painter, baker and took a lot of pride in them.
He is survived by his wife Martha, 4 of his children, 13 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild. Preceding him in death was his parents, 1 child, Jerald Steven, 1 grandson, D.J. Knotts, 3 brothers and 6 sisters.
He will be missed so very much by his family, neighbors and friends.
