Graduation, Conference, and More Zoo Time

GRADUATION

Well I officially graduated!!! It was really a bitter sweet moment walking down the isle with all the other graduates. Walking meant that this was really the end. All the many sleepless nights, papers, tests, group presentations were over. I met some great people. Had some great times and I am grateful for the experience.

 My sweet Grandma Taylor came down to UVU with my Aunt Cass to watch me walk. 

 I was so nervous I would trip, but I did it! I didn't trip at all!

 My cute friend Kat!!!

 My Dad has such a talent while holding Braylee! She won't ever sleep like this with David and she only does it every once in a while with me. But she just sits with my dad for a few minutes and she will be sleeping. Cute girl!

 

 I wanted to buy a new graduation dress but couldn't find one that I loved. But I decided to pull out my dress that I graduated high school in, and it fit just great!! I saved money and I was tickled pink I could still fit into my dress!

  After my graduation David and I walked over to the bookstore to get me a shirt and halfway there I had to change Brantleys poopy bum. Come to find out it wasn't just poopy it was a massive blowout. It came out his diaper, down his leg getting all over his pants, and on his shoe. I, of course, didn't listen to the spirit that morning telling me to throw in that extra pair of dress pants that I had my hand on as I was packing the diaper bag. So Brantley got to run down the halls dressed real nice minus the pants. BUT we got a new shirt and went to a quick little receiption for my business school and on the way back to the car, David went to put Brantley on his shoulders and realized that he had another blowout. AWESOME! Oh well we had some good laughs. After we got Brantley cleaned the second time we went to lunch where Davids parents treated us to Red Robin (one of our very favorites) YUMMM!

I love this lady!!

Later that night we went to Davids graduation. The kiddo's were quickly getting sick of sitting still but it was worth it seeing David walk across the stage for his Bachelors. He didn't want to walk since he is in the Masters program and goes back to school this fall, but he did it for me. Thats true love.

 Two Happy Graduates

 It was a good day! 

CONFERENCE

We LOVE conference! Brantley did really good with watching it also and Braylee had nap times about the same time that the sessions started so that was nice that we could focus and the wonderful messages that were shared. 

 

 This is a tradition that Davids mom does for his dad. She massages his feet. Although she does bare feet with lotion I only do Davids feet with clean socks!

 Brantley enjoyed sitting and eating his Easter Candy!

My cute boys!

THE ZOO

My sister-in-law Polly called and invited us to the zoo to celebrate her son Carson's 2nd birthday. We eagerly accepted. Carson is Brantleys favorite cousin on the Smedley side and they are so fun to watch. 

 

 One of Brantleys favorite things to do at the zoo!

  

 It was a little on the chilly side but we survived with socks!

We had such a fun day and can't wait until we can go back!
