We did it!



So when I say we did it I mean we both walked at graduation. Alexis still has to finish a couple of classes online and I still have to turn in some paperwork. Let's not let that take away from the excitement, at commencement on Thursday Cecil O. Samuelson bestowed bachelor's degrees upon everyone who's name was in the program...that is me.






Now here is something you don't see everyday, four generations of women. I think this is so cool.












Here is the whole fam damily out for the occasion. What a crew.













Classic.









We had a pretty full day on Friday. We graduated at 8 a.m. and then we blessed our sweet little girl at 2. It was a little stressful, especially when nobody from the bishopric showed up and I had to call one of the counselors at home while he was doing yard work...good times. It all worked out in the end and it was an awesome experience.








Alivia's great-grandma Jordan made this amazing blessing dress. You can tell it has been a long day for Alivia. She was a trooper.











Uncle Ky caught this candid shot of Alivia deep in thought, contemplating her blessing she just received... She is the freakin cutest kid ever.











I guess Alivia wasn't the only one that was worn out at the end of the day.
