My Graduation Party


I am finally a BYU alumnus! Hurray!
After graduating from high school 10 years ago, I can now receive a college alumni magazine ;)
But I cannot take all the credit.
Many friends and family supported me and helped me tremendously along the way mostly by watching my kids. All the late nights and early mornings were worth it, although I wanted to quit many times, especially while Ron was in school. I'm glad it's done!

My awesome friends gave me a surprise graduation party with a cool cake!


Cutting the pretty cake



This is my number one supporter! Ron never complained once about me working on my degree. He sacrificed his own hobbies so I had time to study. He corrected my many papers and always listened when I stressed. I gave him a piece of cake :)


Trying to get Brayden to crack a smile, he usually does but not for the camera

Although it was tricky to have children while working on my degree, I learned many valuable lessons along the way and loved my major: Family Life



The doggy is looking smaller now


Nice chin(s) Connor!



I thought the floating ball in this picture was cool.

Ron gave me a new camera for my graduation present and I plan on getting more into photography with all this time on my hands ;)

You are AMAZING!!! I didn't realize that you've been working on your degree all this time too. All I can say is WOW! I want to go back and finish my degree someday too but I've decided to wait until the kids a little older. I don't know how you managed to do that. I'm glad you got a party and a cool cake. You more then deserve it. The twins are just as cute as ever and growing lots. I'm excited about your new camera and can't wait to see what you do with it. Congrats!!!

I remember well when Ron was talking about wanting to marry you, but he wanted you to be able to finish school if you wanted to. How nice that it has really happened and that you were so diligent and your friends so supportive and your husband so helpful......and the Lord still blessed you with an awesome family! Isn't He so faithful to us....
Glad for the camera.Love the cake and you too. CONGRATULATIONS

I am so glad you are done! Is there any cake left for me? Or did the twins finish it off?
