Seriously - who wouldn't kill for that dimple and smile. My little sister Catherine graduated with her Bachelors of Science from BYU-I. I couldn't be more proud.
She is beautiful, talented, kind, caring, smart, articulate, strong - and I love her.
Our entire family (minus John, Toria and the kiddos) made the trek up to Rexburg, Idaho for the event. I got teary eyed as I watched my parents beaming with pride as their little girl walked across the stage. I love my parents. They are proud of each of their six kids. They are supportive in whatever decisios we make, and do all that they can to help us reach our goals. They are awesome.
I did miss a good chunk of the ceremony due to MY little chunk named Harrison - but I did get hear Cats name called, and see her walk across the stage to accept her diploma. Way to go Cat! Harrison showed his support in his own special way - acting like a raving lunatic, climbing benches in the uppermost part of the auditorium, and making those watching him work up a sweat.
Graduations + almost two-year-old = disaster
Matt and I.....the proud parents and the supportive/wonderful hubby Dan...
Congrats to Catherine....if only the real world were as fun as college....
Initailly we were supposed to all go out for a fun graduation dinner - but when you have these two little ones and it is almost their bedtime - that option becomes less and less appealing by the second.
Kate returned a couple of times throughout the month - Harrison forgot he used to call her 'Jack' and wouldn't let her out of his sight. They read stories, watched Monsters Inc. and Cars, and took a ride on a train at a nearby monument. Kate had him saying the word 'driver' (of the train) but pronouncing it 'dry-vuh' with a perfect accent. We laughed and laughed which of course encouraged Harrison to keep repeating it over and over.
