Graduation

Thursday Matt worked a half day and then we headed to St George. After some yummy dinner we had cake and ice cream to celebrate Nic's birthday. She loved posing with her cake..not!

 Then we headed over to Kimber's dental hygiene pinning. After feeling momentarily like we were back in school they presented their pins. Each graduate got to choose someone to pin them...Kimber chose Ez.

Congrats Kimber you have worked and studied many hours to get to this point now just enjoy it.

Saturday morning before the graduations started we headed over to Kneaders for breakfast...it was yummy. Hallie loved the yogurt parfait. We enjoyed sitting outside in the warm sun and just having everyone together. Hallie was so funny and wanted her picture taken with everyone.

After breakfast we did a quick change and then headed to get seats for Ez graduation(BS in Biology)

 
It went fairly quickly. One thing they did that I liked was announce what everyone's plans were now that they graduated..everyone but Ez in biology were going on to dental school..haha. We had time for everyone to have a nap, get some lunch, and then head to Cedar City for graduation #3. Kyle received his Master's degree in accounting.

The girls were so good and Gracie napped pretty much on schedule...it went much better than I anticipated. Afterwards we went to dinner with everyone including Kyle's family then home to bed after we quickly stopped and bought a new movie to watch. Saturday morning we got cleaned up and headed back to Cedar for Nic's graduation(BA Elementary Education).

By this point everyone had had it. It was time for lunch and a nap!!!

We tried to get a picture on Nic jumping(my mom tried to get everyone to do it but Nic was the only one that would do it) but our cameras were to slow.

After we ate at a delicious BBQ place that we will probably be visiting again. Then we all headed our separate directions. The girls fell asleep quickly and slept pretty much til Fillmore when we stopped to feed Gracie and let Hallie play on the playground. We made it home in good time, got unpacked, and ready for bed. We got Hallie to bed about 7:30 and she slept til 9:30 then after some breakfast and clothes she went back to sleep til we went to Jim & Tamera blessed their baby @ 245. She went to bed about 8 last night and slept again til 9. We must have worn her out good but we had a great time. We are so proud of Kim, Nic, Kyle, and Ez for their hard work and accomplishments. I don't think there are many parents that have all their kids and their spouses graduate from college especially not with all bachelors degrees. Yeah for brighter futures and education.
