♡ Graduation & Baptism

I'm BACK!!! Well sort of! Joe's dad is here helping us with the house so I'm still MIA... But I wanted to do a quick post from this weekend! What a great and busy weekend it was!!!

Uncle Pacer is holding Livvy she was SOOO tired...

Eliza LOVES Aunt Gayle two little dogs! The kids maul them every time they come over!

Aunt Tori & Lane...

Livvy is hiding from the dogs. By the end of the weekend she was finally getting better with them...

This is the set up for Joe's graduation.

Joe walking to the seating area with the other nursing graduates... Can you see the ear phones... He was listening to music...

Can you pick Joe out???

I tried to highlight him here... He's the tallest & biggest dude in the nursing program! The two girls next to him said that he was radiating the HEAT and had to move over from him. Seriously he is a HEATER!!! In the winter we don't need more blankets I just have to scoot a little closer to him! It makes camping GREAT! :)


Here they're standing in line waiting to receive their diploma's...

Walking out of the stadium...

Joe is opening some cards and gifts. The kids wanted to help!

He had some great singing cards and some funny as heck cards. Some cards from my sister...

"You're graduating? Well, I guess this proves one thing...

You can pass more than just gas!!!

And the other one...

You always were a smarty pants...

Now you've got a smart a$$ to put in them!

And lastly from Joe's sister... I had to record this because it was just tooo funny!

And lastly... Emma's baptism... She was so cute and excited! Joe & Emma just before!

Olivia waiting with Grandma


Eliza waiting she wasn't as thrilled!

This is Grandpa playing with the kids! They always have so much fun and love crawling all over Grandpa the jungle gym!
I love this picture. Grandpa was the horsey for Liv. She couldn't get enough.

AND THE VERY VERY LAST!!! My rose has finally opened up and I have a ton more on the verge!

Wow! I'm sure he was a stand-out student in more ways than just physically ;D. How exciting to have him graduate - I'm sure it was a huge sacrifice for all of you! So fun to have so much of your family there for it and Emma's baptism! Congrats to both of them!
