Date Night

I forgot to add this in, but I still wanted to document this night on here. A week after Travis graduated on May 9th. I had a big night planned to celebrate Travis being graduated. He had no idea what we were going to do, but it was so awesome! We dropped the kids off at Mom G's (Thanks Mom and Dad G! and Jan and Dan for pinch hitting for a little while!) We don't get out much together without the kids. So it had been a long time since we last had a date night out. But anyway, we went and had a delicious dinner at Outback Steakhouse. And then I just told Travis each direction to go, and we ended up at Tuacahn. Travis still had no idea who/what we were seeing there, but the place was jam packed with people! We sat down and right before it started, I showed him a program, and he saw the picture of Brian Regan and got really excited! He was just like, "Are you serious?!?"


So yes, we saw Brian Regan. He's a hilarious and clean (no dirty jokes) comedian, he's awesome! Check him out here. And just so you know, he's coming back to Tuacahn May 14th and 15th, 2010. But anyway, we had an awesome night just laughing and being able to relax. It was the perfect way to celebrate Travis' graduation, and just be together.

Looky! Looky!

Ok, so I've joined the coupon movement.... Look what I got for $9.55! (including tax!)

We are SOOOOO Excited...

That Travis is done with school!!!

We (me and the kids and Travis' parents) drove up on Thursday, April 30th to meet Travis at a hotel in Ogden. We were soooo happy to see him after being apart for two weeks! The kids ran into his arms when they saw him, it was awesome!

The kids had a hard time going to sleep sharing a bed, so Travis had to lay between them for a little while.

So the next morning on May 1st, we went to the first ceremony. Needless to say, we were all a little excited! Elora kept giving Travis kisses, and they would not leave his side!

In between ceremonies we killed time by going to the Treehouse children's museum. We had a lot of fun!

We had lunch and then went to the next ceremony for the College of Science and Technology. Travis received his Bachelors of Science degree in his major of Automotive Technology.












I actually had teary eyes sitting through the ceremonies and thinking about the long road we've had in the past 5 years.

To say that I was happy was an understatement. I mean, we've been looking forward to this day for a long time! We haven't known anything different since we got married almost five years ago. So it is very nice to have Travis come home after work, and not have to worry about night classes, homework, tiredness, online classes, deadlines, both working and going to school full time.... Everything! We can actually spend more time together as a family.

We could not be happier! I am so proud of Travis and all that he has accomplished!

Happy Family...

Proud parents...

Proud graduate in beautiful Ogden...

Elora liked Daddy's hat...

I just liked this photo of Max with the lighting...

And now we can breathe a big sigh of relief! Phew! Travis is DONE with school!

Happy Birthday Max!

Max turned 2! on April 20th. (I can't believe that my kids are getting so big!) But since Travis made it in town for his birthday weekend, we celebrated the day before, on a Sunday.

Max LOVES Wall-E, when he asks to watch it, he says, "Wa-Wee, Wah-Wee..." in his cute little voice. So I made a Wall-E cake for him, and he absolutely loved it!

He got a little fire truck, which he LOVES! Anything to do with trucks and cars is his favorite. He always says, "Honk, honk, beep, beep!"

And when he opened a bag with a present in it, he made a surprised/happy gasp. It was so funny! (yes, I had shopping bags for gift wrap.... it was a week after our move...)

He had no problem blowing out the candles...

Here he is playing with his new little Wall-E. As you can see, he loves it!
