So This Is Life...: July 2011

Mom's Graduation and the Rocks

This past May my mom graduated with her Master's Degree from Point Loma Linda University in San Diego. YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!

If you have ever been to my house you might recognize these rocks. There is a picture of them in my mom's kitchen right next to the sink. The actual rocks are on Coronado Island in San Diego.

Mom and Dad after the ceremony.

There were never such devoted sisters. Mom and Aunt Diane, two peas in a pod. :)

We made my mom put her "hood" on...

SHE DID IT!!!!!!! YAHOO!!!!!

All the kids: Matt, Julie (Matt's Wife), Michelle, Me, Sarah (Jonathan's Wife), Jonathan and Nathan. Becca and the grandkids were there but in the car because the kids had gotten the flu so they couldn't attend the ceremony.

Bubba's Birthday

Bubba turned 2 in March. Can't believe he's already 2!!

Here he is with my dad right before blowing out the candles on the cake. So happy!

The cool cake my sister made for him. He LOVES LOVES LOVES CARS!!!

Me and Squeakers having fun at the party.

The other part of Spring Break

I spent spring break in Utah again this year, surpised? Anyway, I spent most of my time with this litte one! He's my friend Heidi's new little boy. His name is Riker. So adorable!

I put this crib together all by myself!!! I was so proud!

Of course a trip to Salt Lake couldn't be complete without a trip to a few temples..the one above is the Salt Lake Temple, below is the Oquirrh Mountain Temple in South Jordan, Utah.

Called to Serve

Nathan has been called to serve in the Louville, Kentucky Mission for 2 years. He reports July 27, 2011! So excited for him!

Easter Eggs

Ok well you get the picture...we dyed eggs for easter while I was in Utah. The one on the far right is my cousin Asa's first egg he ever dyed! My picture upload thing is being wierd so sorry for the small picture and the blurry..

Part of Spring Break

This year I went to Utah for spring break. I had a chance to go to my cousin, Darlene's Baby shower and to be there on the day my cousin's husband, Devin graduated from BYU Law school. I didn't attend the ceremony though.

My cousin, Naomi and her graduate husband, Devin. They are moving to Singapore as he has gotten a job there.

Darlene, Me, Katie-Anne, Naomi at Devin's graduation party the night before the baby shower.

The drinks...

These are the onsie's I made Darlene for baby Kepuali, he came about a week after I came home. But that was 6 weeks early for him(Born on May 2, 2011)...so these won't fit him for a while because they are like 18 month size onsies..I made them big on purpose. :)

The FOOD! So YUMMY!

More of the food. It was so good! We had a good time at the shower! Baby Kep is doing great! I believe he is about 2 months old now and mother and son are doing wonderful! So happy I was able to be at the shower to celebrate!
