Lou and Mike are Graduates

The boy graduate.

The girl graduate.

And her family that drove miles and miles and miles to celebrate.

I'm not bursting with Cougar pride or anything, but I have to admit that being at a BYU graduation made me a bit sentimental.

A trip to Temple Square.







We spent lots of time in the hotel enjoying being together.






Congratulations Cami and Mike! You guys are the best.

Dress Up

It is amazing how this:

Can turn to this so quickly.

Happy Easter

After two Easter egg hunts, boxes from Grandma Clay and Aunt Ashley, and more than enough candy before easter ever arrived...



the Easter Bunny decided to fill baskets with some well thought out presents instead (I say well thought out because Ian played with his new Star Wars lego set all day, James loved his cars, they completely ignored the easter egg hunt we set up for them in the living room until this morning, and only ate one piece of candy each).



I didn't say it was a small piece of candy.

Morning entertainment

This morning I woke up to this:

Cuckoo.

Grandpa Leonard's Birthday

is the best because it is on April Fool's Day so we always get to make him some kind of silly treat. Yesterday we made him "sushi" out of pound cake and candy. Ian had the whole scenario playing out in his head all day about how he would give him the plate of sushi for dinner and then Grandpa would take a bite and say "this isn't sushi - it is candy!"

Happy Birthday Grandpa Leonard!
