He Did It!!!

Braden Graduated last Friday!!! 

It was a very long awaited day and we couldn't have been more excited! I am so proud of Braden, he has worked so hard and it has been far from easy for him. Between the stress of work and providing for our family, a few health problems along the way and of course some hunting he managed to graduate with a bachelors degree in Business Administration/Human Resource Management.


We stared the morning off by watching Braden walk at 10:30.  Then Britney walked at 12:30 so we all stayed and watched her. She graduated in Elementary Education.  Then of course had our photo shoot outside with the graduates.

Then we all headed over to Chick-fil-a for some lunch.


Then we came home and Mitch, Dave and Todd came over for a trap shoot. Todd and Braden needed a chance to try out their new 20 gauges.


And I played with Mitch's new puppy Molly.
She is SO cute!!

Then for dinner we all met back up at The Mandarin in Bountiful.



Where they started off with some tasty lettuce wraps....


Then the entrees

They have turn tables in the center of the table so everyone just put their food on there and tried some of everything.


Then I made a cake to help us finish off the celebration.  I used a cake set that Mary let me borrow that makes checkerboard cakes, it turned out pretty good for my first time using it.



CONGRATULATIONS Braden and Britney!!!

Yeah for Braden Graduating! Good job to both you and Braden for getting through it. I am suddenly craving Chinese food and I don't even normally like it... And, you made some super cute cakes. Way to use your talent! Love you and miss you. Can't wait for school to be out and then we will have to play.
