Cute pictures.. I didn't know lei's were the thing to give for graduating.. I never got one & have never seen anyone with them until this year..

Love that your son wore his grandpa's tie for graduation. My son was drooling over the Laker cake. Gotta love Kobe's skills.

Kaci said...

What fun!! Looks like there is always fun at your place and your boys place!! Glad the Lakers won for such a great occasion. Could you imagine if they didn't? :)

Congrats to Dallin and Happy Bday to Devin...loved all the pics. The leis are such a great idea. We don't do that here in the east.

I know your dad has been very ill and I thought is was so special that he sent Dallin a bolo tie and he wore it! That is awesome!
Congrats to the graduate!
I had to laugh at the bored little brother picture. That is totally my youngest. They go to enough graduations and weddings that they know they have to sit and they have seen it all before!! ha ha
BTW you son is so tall! How tall is that boy?

I know you were happy to get home and in your own bed. No place like home but so glad you could be there for James and Shari.

Loved the Bolo...and boots and what a sweet thing to do leis. That is so fun.

Love to you all!

Whoa! Lots going on! That graduation looks like one of the best ones I've ever seen. How cool that you can go to a graduation outdoors! I'm impressed with the announcement Dallin designed too.
My Chloe will be in Chipman Hall this year!

I love the 24 B-day party. That is too cute!! Glad that you are home again although it is probably good to be home, it is probably hard being away from your mom and dad. My mom was glad she got to spend time with you there.
