happy birthday aunt becky

December 15th my family had an awesome party for my sweet Aunt Becky. We had the party at my cousin Theresa's club house at her community. And it was so fun! We had just moved back to Salt Lake and what a way to kick off Salt Lake living by partying! Love baby Mable!

Aunt Becky and her cute grandkids- she loves them!



We played a intense game of musical chairs!



I guess I got really excited because I slid Fenway across the room in a mad dash to find a chair! Luckily no one was hurt.

Aunt Becky and her hubby Uncle Jim- they are so cute together.






I thought this was so funny how Evelyn was holding Mable. Mable is barely holding on by a thread. She is the most easy going baby.



Happy Birthday Aunt Becky!

GRADUATION

The day finally came!! And we could not be any more not ready for it ironically. We planned on moving the same day as graduation. Friday night, the night before, my mom and uncle Greig came up to Logan to help us with last minute packing. The morning of graduation we felt so rushed that we didn't even get to enjoy the day. The weather was horrible. It ended up being such a blizzard! Too bad I didn't get a picture of outside. So between making sure all our family and friends made it to Logan safely, and directions to those who have never been there, and getting everything last minute in boxes, and getting ready and getting the U-haul etc, I barely had time to even give Jonny my graduation presents to him. And it was no glorious event either, just in our packed up bedroom just before we rushed him off to the school to get ready for Commencement. I had zero time to get ready, and just enough time to get there in a panic that we had missed it. But we didn't.
He now has time to read novels now that he's graduated! He was so excited to get this book.
And now for the present he never thought I would get him, and he wanted so much.





A watch he has had his eye on for about a year now, and wanted it so bad. Love it! So happy!
Showing off his new watch- does anyone need to know what time it is?
Quick snapshot before rushing off to school- for the last time!

HAPPY GRADUATION!
Walking to his seat. We were sitting kinda hight up in the stands, and it was so fun to try and find him and point him out to everyone.
As soon as I found him, my excitement was just unbearable and I raced down to the floor to say HI. I am just so proud of him, and love him so much!

Huge THANKS to everyone that came to support Jonny on his big day. It meant so much to have all our families and friends that to show how him how much they care.
Proud proud Dad!
Thanks so much Mom for coming out from OK- you get the 'traveled the furthest' award.

My awesome friend Megan came and found me right after. Her little brother was graduating that day as well. It was so sad to see her for the last time while living in Logan.

Waving to us above!
A little out of order, but this is right after getting his diploma. He was so excited to get that diploma he skipped up the ramp to receive it.
He was the only one who threw his hat! I caught this picture just in time. The hat is towards the top of the picture, and he's below.

After Graduation, we all went back to our town home, ate some pizza, changed our clothes, and packed the U-haul. We were out of Logan about 5pm and headed to Salt Lake! Love all our family and friends who stayed behind to help us pack up the u-haul. We so could not have done it with out all of you. It was a very busy packed day to say the least.
