Matt's Graduation and Boating

The first week of June we flew to Houston for my baby brother Matt's high school graduation. It was so fun to have all but one of the siblings there. We met Virginia (my new 6 wk old niece) for the first time and also met Collin, Katherine's fiance. He was a brave man to come with all the family there, we are quite the bunch. We swam a couple times, went to the museum and went boating twice. All of which Gavin loved, although we didn't take a lot of pictures with our camera for some reason. My favorite part of the trip was how well Gavin and Audrey (my sister Elizabeth's 3 year old daughter) played. They were two peas in a pod and got into a lot of mischief together!

For the first time EVER, Gavin, out of the blue, crawled into my lap and fell asleep. He slept terribly the whole trip because we weren't able to fit his tent to keep him from climbing out of the crib on the plane and thus it took Jason and I HOURS to get him to sleep each night. Naps were a joke too.

The Man

Jason and Gavin tubing. Gavin LOVED tubing and I could even see him smiling from the boat while he was riding with his daddy.

Katherine, I believe this was after Collin had left. :(

Cute little Michaela. She tried water skiing this year and loved tubing with Jason.


I feel terrible I don't have any pictures of the GRAD, since that's what brought us all together but this year we decided not to take pictures right after the graduation ceremony since it was SO HOT and we had all the little ones. So I'll have to get the pictures Michelle took of us at home. I love you Matt and am so excited will be going to BYU, my Alma mater, in the fall! Go Cougars!
