my little sister and brother graduated!

Ready for another family post??

April has been the month of family, with both sides of our families.

Overhwhelming, but awesome.

 After I got back from CA, my family headed out here to celebrate Jessica and her husband, Marshall, graduating from BYU!!!

Festivites started on Thursday night when we threw a family graduation party for the two. A bunch of our family that lives in Utah came, and Marshall's family, who were in town, came too! It was a lot of fun. Cafe Rio catered and there was cheesecake. So obviously, it was the best night ever.

Nathan and Marshall showed up in the same shirt.
Don't worry, Nathan changed.

 Opening presents

 The next morning was the big graduation!! Jessica graduated in Early Childhood Education, and Marshall graduated in Exercise Science. They both walked at Jessica's department graduation. I was happy with that, because that's my department :) It was fun to be there, but not have to be the one walking across the stage! 

We sat with Marshall's family and screamed nice and loud when their names were called. Then we took a million pictures. Because that's what we do.

Just missing Blake, who was at work, and the babies who were with Nana and Papa!

My best friends!

Had enough pictures yet? Don't care.

We Jessi and Marshall joined our family for a delicious breakfast (because we had to be at graduation at 7:45am) at a cute diner. Then we all hung out at my Nana and Papa's house which is where my family, Nathan, and I had been staying to be close to BYU. We watched Saturday's Warriors (seriously) and had some good laughs. We had some lunch and played outside.

Best picture ever.

 

"CHEEEEEEEEESE!!!"

Carson loves to give hugs.

Jessica and Marshall met up with his family. Everyone else headed to our place in SLC. We all hung out for a while and went through our baby clothes. Again. Haha. Mom, dad, and Cameron stayed in a hotel and left early on Saturday to head back to England. Kelsey and the babies stayed with us. We had fun! Ava loves Lady so much, it's adorable. She followed her everywhere. Carson occasionally showed interest. Ava also loved a whistle she found. She was blowing it at us and telling us to "get to work!"

Our morning view. Babies and Frozen.

In was another wonderful family weekend! I am so proud of Jessica and Marshall! So excited to have another teacher in the family! So proud of how hard they have worked and how much they have grown! In a month they start a new adventure in Arizona for dental school. I am still pretending it's not happening. We have LOVED having them 40 minutes away. They are our best friends and we love them!!!! But so excited for them to start this next phase in life. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!
