Graduation

On may 1st Chris graduated with his bachelors degree from Weber State. It was a very exciting day. I am so proud of him making it to this point. He has worked so hard for so long it doesn't seem real that he doesn't have homework right now to work on! It felt like it would never get here! Chris's mom Becky, and I had to convince Chris that he should walk... And doesn't he look cute!? I loved all of these pictures so there is bunch on here. He is so relieved to have all that hard work done. Even though most likely he will be applying for his masters in the fall.
Of course we had to get a picture by the wildcat.
Here we are with my Parents:

Here is Chris's Family:
After the graduation we had reservations at the Union Grill. So after we ate we decided to take a few pictures by the huge trains while we were all dressed nice.

Chris decided that he was going to drive the train..
Here we are at the Union Grill after we had just stuffed ourselves full with delicious food.
Later that night we had some cake. I was introduced to this costco sheet cake by my sister and have been craving it ever since. So amazingly we fit more food into our already stuffed stomach!
Congrats Chris... I am so proud of you for reaching this goal and for supporting our family.
