All Grown Up


In the middle of April, the nice weather lured us outside for a picnic.  We got some drinks from Smiths and picked up some subs from Sensuous Sandwich.







The weather and food made our little picnic great but we had an uninvited guest join us who made it even better!





This little guy came bolting at us and joined us for about 30 minutes with no owner in sight.


One can only guess why he hung around for so long...


Ok, ok... this broke my heart!  The poor little thing followed us to the car and hopped right in.  However, he did look well groomed and (a little too) well fed so we left him at the park to find his way home.  



This past weekend was an exciting one.
Drumroll please...............

MARK GRADUATED!!!




Mark's wonderful parents flew in for the big event.  Before commencement on Thursday, we went to lunch at Los Hermanos. We met up with Mark's old roommate Dan and his family.



Commencement had L. Tom Perry as the speaker.

Such a special boy...


Mark and Dan were roommates since freshmen year and graduated together 7(ish) years later.



So proud!



Friday morning we met up with our bud, Cecil...


...and took some pictures with our grad:




Again, so special. 


Before Convocation, we went to the BYU Bookstore and Mark was so excited that his mom bought him a chemistry model kit...
(Ha! He pulls off 'excited nerd' well, don't ya think?)


 and then the parents took us to Tucanos for lunch.


Then we got to see our Marky get his well-earned diploma!


Kelsey graduated too!

During the capture of the above picture, Mark said "One of these 
things is not like the other." 

Below is my attempt to fit in:




(Mark is a December Graduate.)

We're so proud of you Mark!

Only 4 more years of school to go! (Maybe.)
