Graduation, family and fun!

Josh and I graduated a few weeks ago. Josh from BYU with his masters, and I got my associates from LDS Business College. Josh is done, and I still have about 15 years left.. I'm jealous. (Just joking about 15 years, but it kinda feels like it right now). Our families came, the Arnells and the Rickers. It was really good to see everyone. We went to Provo for Josh's grad day, and went out to eat and hung out down there. Saturday, we went to Lagoon with the Rickers. Heath loves that place, and probably even had more fun than my 13 and 16 year old brothers. They had a lot of fun though too. That night we went up to Preston Idaho to see my great grandma... she's 98 years old and can still beat all of us in the 100 meter dash. Just kidding. She lives in a nursing home and is still kicking. We stayed the night in her empty house, then went to see her Sunday morning. My family took off after that and we headed to Logan to meet the newest member of the fam... Bentley Taurean Stewart. He is a very cute little guy. Congrats Jenn and Ter-een (as Heath Spells it). Bentley spent a lot of time sleeping but it was fun to see him.

Okay, here are some pics...

Jauquin seems to be one of the grandkids. So if you have him for a year & don't kill him, what's the next step? Sawyer is pretty cute. You guys know that your genes mix well.

Great update Jay, I'm impressed... Loved your entry, it's fun to see everything the family is up to. Sure wish we could say to save us some room in your car for us so we could go with you guys to Oregon... but I cannot. Hey Heath... I was just thinking today... Happy Mother's Day to you too!!! Joaquin is like your little child... you're a mom!!! How's the Apt. hunting?? love ya

Dog's are more work than kids I think, so if you can hack the pup you've got it made.

Teri Crawford said...

Hey, I was there too...for part of it anyway! Great to see you two. Can't wait till Memorial Day. The boys are sooo excited to meet Joaquin. Chase wishes you would have picked Jorge.
