End or Beginning?

I didn't know whether to title this post "The End" or "The Beginning" because we still have quite a road ahead of us with Casey going to medical school. I guess that it is both- an end and a beginning, both exciting in their own ways. We have loved the time of life that we have been in for the last little while and are excited for everything that is to come! There sure are A LOT of changes heading our way in the next little bit!
Although Casey officially graduated in December and has been working full-time since then while we wait for med school to start, his graduation from BYU wouldn't be "officially official" until he walked in the graduation ceremony. A few weeks ago, Casey's parents came up for the big event and were here for a week. It was so great to have them here. Here are some pictures from our adventures:

Swimming in their hotel pool
Brigden in the "hot" tub that, don't worry, wasn't really that hot...

Oompa teaching him how to shoot some baskets with the new basketball hoop that they got him for his birthday
Brig is actually really good at making it in the basket...he must take after his daddy...


Sneaking a bite of strawberry pie...

Helping Grammie make YUMMY pizza...

Brig plugging his ears in the Marriott Center at Commencement...it was packed!

Elder Richard G. Scott gave a really great address...

It was quite windy that first day for pictures, but we snuck one in...luckily the next day was much nicer

I was quite worried to take Brigden, our little energy ball, to each of the ceremonies, but he did great!
It sure helped that we had a huge bag full of things to keep him occupied!




Brigden sure loves his daddy and Oompa! We love these double hugs that he has been doing lately...

Our little family...

Casey and his parents...

Cute Brigden...
He kept standing by these big bushes and posing for me to take a picture...

Best friends...
Haha, you can't see it very well in this picture, but Casey's hair has two parts in it from wearing the graduation cap :) It was funny
I am so proud of Casey and all of his accomplishments thus far. He amazes me everyday with all that he is able to fit in and for how balanced he keeps everything...I could sure learn a lot from that!
We sure do love him! Keep up the good work, Casey!

Yeah Casey! Congrats on your graduation. Brigden, to me, looks just like Casey. Good luck with the next one coming soon. I will have to come down and see you guys when he arrives.
