GRADUATION!!!!!

Can you believe it's finally here? Randon Graduated today!!!!! Last night was a small aerospace and mechanical engineering pre-commencement ceremony. Before it started we had a large tri-family dinner. Alex, Jeremy and (of course) Randon's families were all there. I reserved a room in Olive Garden about a month ago as there were almost 30 of us! It was so much fun, and so neat to see families come together to celebrate these awesome boys! The ceremony was short and sweet, each person was awarded a small plaque with their name and degree on it. Randon's parents, Krissa, my parents, Dena and Jacob all came to support Randon. We had a really great time!

Then this morning, was the big commencement in The McKale Center. Dena and Jacob went with me. It was a little longer...but we ended up sitting right in front of where the boys were placed! There were too many graduates to have them walk and call them all by name, so they had them stand by college. Afterwards we took a few pictures...


and then headed to Mesa for a Graduation Party for Randon at my Aunt Alayne's house. It was really fun. Sorry I didn't take any pictures. We had lots of friends and family come to celebrate Randon! Then we headed home (because we were both EXHAUSTED from a really busy week) and Alex came over to relax and play some well deserved nintendo with Randon. This is my favorite picture ever...

Graduates playing PS3 in their PJ's! It cracks me up!

Randon has worked so hard! I am just so proud of his accomplishments! I love you sweetheart! YAY YAY YAY!
