Yes, that IS a cheeto in that boy's mouth (I call him "that boy" because I think his name might be Jens but I could be wrong), not an orange.
I can't believe that it was 4 years ago that we met.
Who knew we'd become life long friends??
Don't cheeto-smile-guy from above, Anne Marie, and Dan look like they're having the time of their lives? (Well, ok, Dan doesn't so much BUT promise! He was!)
ALSO,
the highlight of the whole weekend was that MY MOM graduated from SUU!
I'm so proud of her! And what a great present for her to get on Mother's day weekend!
Lots of my other friends graduated too so it was fun to see that.
It took a few tries to get a picture of Dan smiling with me...
Hey dad!
Isn't she cute?

Unfortunately she was too far away for me to snap a good photo so the arrow points to her general area...
Commencement as a whole was ok. The final speaker was BORING.

Becca and Grandma let me take their picture while we waited for my mom to meet us.

I love this picture!

Dan was a little sad that we wouldn't be able to visit his mom on mother's day so we took the opportunity of an empty Friday night to drive up to Payson and take her to dinner.
Luckily, Jeremy, Kaela, and Jack were able to come with us!
We got there a little later than planned (9:30pm) so we weren't able to surprise Candace due to the fact that she grew too suspiciuos and Steve had to tell her what was up.
She was still excited to see us and we were excited to see all of them so it was still a win.
We went to dinner at this wonderful little chinese place next to a Papa Murphy's Pizza and ate a WAY YUMMY dinner! Lucky for us, they let us in even though it was past closing time!
It was totally worth it.
We had fun talking and laughing and we left the next morning at 8am to be back for graduation and other things that Jeremy and Kaela had going on.
I loved seeing Dan's family!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO MY WONDERFUL MOTHER-IN-LAW, CANDACE!
I LOVE YOU!
When we returned on Saturday, we went to a yard sale with Jeremy and Kaela before we dropped them off.
I was so excited cause I got these 2 way awesome antique purple glass cups.
I'll have to post pics later of those.
Then Dan and I took an hour nap before heading over to day 2 of graduation (the actual ceremony where Mom got her diploma).
Yay Mom!
After the ceremony we took pictures with everyone.
Don't you love how excited my mom looks?
Saturday was a great day and ended with a great night.
Wouldn't you agree that 2 trips to the tiki shack for snow cones PLUS a family luncheon to celebrate my mom graduating PLUS swimming with Natalie, Marissa, and Megan at their hotel pool PLUS having pizza delivered from Pizza Hut to the hotel makes for a great way to end the day?
Sunday was great too.
Steph spoke in her singles ward for Mother's Day and for her first time writing her own talk, she did FABULOUS!
We also had our traditional family dinner at my family's house and celebrated Mother's day with my mom.
After dinner we watched 2 movies:
Tangled
&
Tron.
Both were SO good!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO MY GREAT MOM!
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND AM SO THANKFUL FOR YOU IN MY LIFE!
