ConGRADUATIONs!

So this is only, like, 10 days overdue. I'll explain what we've been up to in a later post. Let's just say my ability to blog (or do anything productive for that matter) has been greatly hindered as of late.

Anyway, James graduated on May 1st! It was wonderful. President Monson spoke in the morning and our friend Kayla watched the kids so I could enjoy it. James' dad and mom were both able to come out for the festivities and cousin Jessie even made an appearance.


I picked up the kids in time for the actual "walking" portion of graduation (Convocations). And of course Owen started kicking up a fuss during the part where James was going to actually receive his diploma so I pretty much missed the moment and didn't get any video of it, but what matters most is that James is done! He finished! And we are so so so so proud of him!

We went to Cafe Rio for dinner then had cake and ice cream back at home. Then we all vegged out and watched a movie (it had been a very long day). Everyone had to leave on Saturday, so it was a really short visit, but we were just grateful to have family around to help us celebrate properly.


Here is a shot of Owen. He was crying in his car seat the entire time we were trying to take pictures after graduation. But he and Zoe had a blast with Jessie. Is there anyone in this world who doesn't?
