My Mom's Graduation

In May, my mom graduated with her bachelor's degree from the University of Wyoming.  We are so proud of her.  She has worked so hard to get an education and she did it with flying colors.  She graduated at the top of her class!  That my mom!!  So, the kids and I went to help her celebrate her amazing accomplishment.  

When we got there we ate at an great BBQ place, Dickey's.  I had to put this picture in because it was so funny how all of the kids had their HUGE pickles and ate almost all of them, even Bryn!
 Here are most of my mom and dad's grandchildren.  We were missing Austin (he was at the Father/Son campout with Brian) and my brother's kids, Jaxson and Kennadie.  They're pretty proud of their grandma, too!
 Here's my beautiful sister and sister-in-law.
 There was a daycare set up for all the kids up to 5 years of age.  Paige wasn't so sure how she felt about not being able to play with all of the toys.  She soon realized that it's pretty cool being one of the big kids...she got mommy all to herself!  I love her smile in this picture!
 Paige with her favorite cousin on my side of the family, Challis.
 Mom finally spotted us!
 I was trying to help Paige take pictures and this is the only picture that turned out, so no pictures of her receiving her diploma.  Oops!
 How cute is this picture!  I'm so happy that all of the cousins love each other so much!!
 One of my dad's friends stopped by to show us his pet coyote.  Yes, a coyote.  Remember, they live in Wyoming!! ;0)  Paige thought it was the coolest thing!
 All of these pictures make me laugh.  It was near impossible to get a good picture with these almost 2-year-olds!!  Here are just a few of the attempts! :0)


 Bribing them with snacks at least got them all to sit down!  That's better than nothing, right?!?
