I am so proud of Jonathan! He is finally finished! He graduated from UVU on Friday, May 1st with a Bachalor's degree in Biology and a minor in Chemistry! Way to go Jon!

They had a really nice graduation ceremony and of course, I got all tiery-eyed thinking about what a long, hard road it was for him. Now we are all wondering what's next for Jon.

Ryan, Aaron and Kelly came from Idaho for the festivities but Kami, Steve and Angie were not able to make it. We had a bar-b-que here at the house today, with the family and some of Jon and Bonnie's friends. It was awesome inspite of the rain! Their friend Larry cooked some killer ribs and we had hamburgers and all the sides. We had a great time!

Of course Ella was the star of the show no matter what we might have been celebrating. She is so adorable and funny and we all just get a kick out of her.

After the bar-b-que, Kelly and I went shopping at Tia Pan and Ikea. We had a great time! We are very similar in many ways and I really enjoy the time I spend with her. Bonnie would have joined us but she had to work tonight so she needed a nap. (And their friends were still here.) I am so blessed to have two daughters-in-law that I adore! They are each perfect for the son they married. (I also have a great son-in-law, too who I feel the same way about, too.)

Anyway...Jon just know that we recognize what a sacrafice it was for you to finish your degree. We know you will be blessed for doing it and we wish you wonderful blessings for you and your precious family! Congratulations to you, Bonnie and Ella! We love all of you!
