Graduation from UVU!

Congratulations Brad!! He finally graduated from UVSC, the soon to be UVU, with a bachelors in Fine Arts. We are so proud of him. It has taken awhile, but well worth the wait. Thanks for all of your hard work, honey.
Halle and I sat by the stairs so that if she acted up we would have an easy access to the exit. She was really good though- I have the BEST daughter in the whole world!!
Doesn't he look good with his diploma. He is a business man now- on to the big stuff!!
Both of our families joined us in the celebration. Thanks everyone for coming- we really appreciated all of the support!! After the ceremony, my parents took us out to California Pizza Kitchen to celebrate- Thanks Mom and Dad. My Dad said that he would take us out as long as we keep getting degrees- sorry Dad, there will be no more from us!!
Later that night we went to Sizzler with Brad's family, so that they could honor him. It is always so much fun getting together with our families. Thanks Again to everyone who has supported us through the years!!

Feeding the Ducks

Last Friday, Brad and I took Halle to feed the ducks at the BYU pond. Emilee and her boys came along as well, but Billy was home sick in bed. Halle LOVES her cousin, Will. He can do no wrong in her eyes!!
A few minutes before this picture was taken, Brad decided to interfere with nature and save a duck from being drowned. There were three ducks trying to drown another duck. Brad couldn't just watch so he kicked the ducks off the drowning one. He is such a LIFE SAVER!!
Halle loves to follow her Dad around- they were walking around trying to catch the ducks. Halle said that she wanted to "Pet it." I don't think she understands that the ducks are scared of her (I don't understand either- how can anything be afraid of such a cute little thing!!).
I don't think pregnant woman should have to have their pictures taken especially when they look this bad!! Only a few more weeks of this huge body.
What a little poser. She loves to smile for the camera and her new thing is to tilt her head when she says "Cheese." We brought these old hot dog buns to feed the ducks and Halle decided that instead of feeding the ducks she would feed herself. Thankfully they didn't have mold on them!!

Bye Bye Black Pearl

We sold our HONDA CIVIC last week. It was a bitter sweet parting. This was the first car that Brad and I bought together as a married couple. The "Black Pearl" as we called it, has been the family car but I was the one that mostly drove it. We are sad to see it go, but on to bigger and better things!! We will miss you.

Park with the McCleary's

Halle and I went to the park with Emilee and her boys.  We had so much fun!!  Thanks for the lunch- sorry I forgot mine.   I think I am going to blame it on the absentmindedness of pregnancy!! 

Easter Sunday!!

I love Easter!!  It was so fun this year.  We went to church and then went to hear my brother speak in his singles ward.  He did such an awesome job!!  We then went over to my parents house where they had little presents for all the grandkids- Halle got a new cabbage patch doll, which she loves!!  Thanks Mom and Dad.  After a short get together we went up to my Grandma Jane's house in Sandy for dinner.  It was so good.  After visiting there for a little bit we were off to Brad's Mom's.  They were having dinner when we got there so we just joined in for some more good food.  Two dinner- not sooo bad, right?!!  Then all the kids participated in an Easter Egg Hunt.  Halle had so much fun opening her eggs.  Thank You to our families for such a wonderful day!!
