Graduation

Well, it's been a very eventful month and a half since I've updated last. Many things have happened and time is FLYING! 

 Morgan's final last two weeks of the Master's Program at BYU were a little stressful but he/we survived and he finished amazingly strong and did so well in all of his classes. The kids and I attended a group presentation that he did for one of his classes. He did a great job and it was awesome to see him in his element. Here's a picture of him and his two buddies that he did the presentation with and also has created an LLC with because of the potential their project has (it's a project management software that they created which has quite the potential to take off and bring in additional income in the future.)

 There was a party that we went to on BYU campus that the graduates and their friends/families were invited to attend, with free food and games and prizes. 

 Here is a pic of the kids in one of the games! Hehe. It makes me giggle a little.

 We had snow in April after a very warm week! It was so random, but much needed. Chris was so sweet to pull Sam around with Ty on a sled in the backyard.

 Then once again, the sun came out and we've gone to the park here and there.

 The kiddos are generally getting along still. They are starting to quarrel a little more but they are still best buddies. I sure love them.

 Sometimes in the mornings I come out to find them like this.

 The big day came and went so fast. I am so proud of Morgan. He has worked SO hard to get here! These are pics from commencement day.

Mmmmhmmm. So foxy...

 Just after commencement.

 Then we celebrated that night with some Monopoly with Morgan's parents. It was a blast. And Morgan actually won;)

The next day was Convocation. Morgan is amongst his fellow Master Graduates from his program. It was fun that we all saw each other at the same time. I love this picture. It makes me so proud:)

 He's approaching the stand.

 There he is!

 I was able to meet him down on the floor after he walked across the stage (thanks Mikey for taking this picture and others). I gave him a big smooch with tear filled eyes. I'm so in love with this man and so grateful for his hard work for providing for our family. He is THE man. He is MY man, forever:)

 Morgan gave his mom a Gratitude Shawl. Big hug to follow:)

 This picture of him and his Dad says a lot. I love it. So grateful for all of the support we had from each of our parents and all other family members. 

 Morgan's Nanna and Pappa came all the way out here for Morgan's graduation as well. His Pappa was unable to attend the Convocation but his Nanna was. I love this picture. We are so grateful for the sacrifices that were made to be with us on this special weekend:)

 Morgan, his parents and his Nanna. 

 There was a major downpour after we took pictures with Morgan's parents (Morgan and I were soaked!) but that is something we will never forget. Ironically, our wedding day was the same way.

 My parents and Mikey also made sacrifices to be here with us. Thank you so much for being there with us!

 The day after Morgan graduated, with his gift money, he bought himself his very own bbq. As you can see he was excited:)

 The day of Morgan's graduation we went under contract with a home in Spanish Fork. We are so very excited to have our first home. It's beautiful! I will definitely share a lot more pics when we move in in a couple weeks:)

 We were treated to Tucano's to celebrate Morgan's hard work. It was yummy. I had a little buddy in my coat.

 The employees of Tucano's came and sang to Morgan and gave him a tambourine to dance along and he did an amazing tushy shaking dance for all of us.

 And then it was all over. It was an amazing weekend and we were so grateful for all of the support that we've had through these last 7 1/2 years of being married, and for those that were able to come and be with us during this exciting time.

Here's a cute pic on the kiddos before church after everyone left.

 Noel recently had a field trip to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point.

 Noel and her friend Evelyn from class.

 Tractor ride.

 Then her class had a picnic.

 Her teacher Miss Heather and Noel's preschool class.

 We recently watched Ty and Libby. Morgan brought home some sparklers for them all to play with.

 Our lil' sweet Noel.

 You gotta love Sam's faces.

 So because we will be moving soon, I've been buying and selling stuff like crazy. One of those things which I sold was our table and chairs (we want to get something a little nicer and something that would fit our new dining area, a little better). So this is our table and chairs for now.

Sam's drawings are definitely coming along. This last sunday was the first time he actually drew a person.

 We went on a walk this week. Noel likes to take her baby stroller and her "baby" (a stuffed lamb named "Lammy", that Nanna gave her a few years ago:))

 Sam usually sleeps with blankets piled on his face. He's so silly, even when he is sleeping.

 So a couple of days ago, Morgan's car wouldn't start and we thought it was going to be gone forever and that this was the last we'd ever see of it. We prayed and prayed that it wouldn't be anything major because we are about to buy a house for goodness sakes, and we got a call yesterday that all it needed was a $10 part. Wow, we have been so blessed!

 We've had some sunny warm days and have had some fun with water outside. 

Well that's it folks. I usually get around to updating every month or so, so next time we will be in our first home! We are so stinkin' excited!!
