Big Weekend

This last weekend we made a trip down to Oregon for some very special occasions.  

First stop: Aunt Launa's place. :)  She lives in such a charming little area and we all had fun seeing her again!

Destination: Grandpa Steve's house.  With all you can eat Hood Strawberries!  Oh those seriously are the best!

One of the special events was that Jeremy's dad was getting baptized.  Jeremy got to baptize him.  What a joyous occasion! Our hearts will filled that day.

Afterwards we headed downtown to the fountains!

After playing in the water we hit a delish-ous bbq place and then headed to the park.  

He's growing up so fast :)

Some of my favorite pictures of Jer and the kids is when he is holding them as a baby.  It's the sweetest thing to me :)  Chilln' at gpa's house with dad.

The next day something else awesome happened.  Steve also graduated from college as a Chemical Engineer!  Big Weekend for Papa Steve! 

Originally I was going to stay home from the graduation with the kids because of the crowd and heat.  But it ended up being a very nice day and not as crowded as we thought.  So the kids and I joined up with Jeremy.

One of the reasons it was suppose to be so crowded was because Michelle Obama was speaking at the graduation and getting an honorary degree.  She gave a real nice speech.

With her there, we got to see some of her agents scoping out the place up above the stadium for security.  Kind of cool to see the little men up there.  

I'm really glad we were able be apart of it all.  Congrats Steve!  We're proud of you.

We headed out right after the graduation and got home a little after midnight.  Classic late night drive pic. ;)
