The Beginning of a Career!

We made it. Kameron graduated last Friday and was sworn in as an officer! This is all of the DPS recruits in his class. Note: Kameron is one of the tall ones!! We dont get to say that very often!

Kameron marching the flag out before the Flag Detail.

Kameron standing stiff for several minutes waiting for the other classes ready to raise the flag!

Being sworn in, and those are his Sargeants standing next to and behind him.

After the graduation. Look how cute my nana is waving to the camera. haha.

Porter and Daddy after the Flag Ceremony.

Another one of them, just too precious not to add!! Plus, as my Nana said, Kameron looks VERY Guapo (Handsome) in uniform!

Me pinning Kameron's badge on him. The little bugger was tricky to open!

Porter kept touching Kameron's badge, it was really cute!

And our little family after the actual graduation and pinning ceremonies. I will admit I did get a little teary eyed when they were talking about how he was part of the best class to go through this academy. With the scoring in all areas they blew away their Seargant and FTO's, not to mention beat them in the shoot out at the range AND in sand volleyball! haha. I am just so proud of Kameron and all the hard work he did to support our growing little family. The police academy is no easy thing, but he made it through with flying colors and an A+ average!! We're so proud of you babe, and congratulations....You earned it!
We ended our evening eating at Pei Wei's, thanks to all the family and friends that drove so far for his special day. It meant a lot to us to have such a big support. We are very blessed to call you friends and family!
