Jay Graduated!

So, I said this blog update was coming and I finally got a second this weekend to put up some pictures! Last weekend, we headed to Laramie, Wyoming to the University of Wyoming where our beautiful JJ (Leslie) was going to be graduating that Saturday! It was a pretty long (6 hours), very BORING drive getting there, but a GREAT weekend once we got there! We left on Friday, the 8th of May. Waz and Chez were nice enough to get us a hotel room which we shared with our cute Kates! We checked in to the hotel and had a big family dinner including Kali (cousin who was sweet enough to fly in from Arizona for the graduation) and Abbie and Tony (2 of Jay's bffs!). It was a great night out to pre-celebrate the big day to come!
Waz put together a photo album of many of Jay's greatest moments and some great pictures of our very bright girl!

We were very proud of her! Gregg and I have a tendency to forget we now own a video camera, but we were sure to get a portion of her graduation on video! She graduated with a degree in Secondary Education- English! She is going to be an AMAZING teacher! Her only goal and worry of her life, currently, is finding the right job. We continue to pray the right job with find her.
The proud family with the graduate!! It was a long ceremony, but well worth the wait!

Saturday, after graduation, Jay threw a BBQ at her house in Laramie with lots of yummy food! Cherie made lots of delish dishes and I brought the spinach dip! Gregg, as you can see from above, was the sexy, grilling chef! And turned out some excellent burgers! Most of my burger managed to make it onto my sweatshirt... that giant preggo belly I have doesn't work so great as a table!

It was such a good weekend! We wish we would've made it out to Laramie to visit Jay sooner, but we were very happy to make it to the big event! We're also very glad that Kaylen cooperated with our plan to go and didn't try to come into the world early! We had the car seat and diaper bag in the car just in case, but were very happy to not have to use them! Congratulations, JJ! We are so very proud of you! This is only the beginning of wonderful new adventures to come!

Thats awesome! Looks like it was some fun family times! Not too much longer than you will be hosting your own reality tv show Gregg...it will be called, Be nice or I won't fix you. It's a hospital show about the life of a doctor who can either help the patient if they're nice, or make them feel more pain utilizing mma moves!
