Graduation!

I almost think I'm more excited for Brandon to graduate than I was for me to graduate. I'm so proud that he has worked so hard, that he has a job, and that he was able to be a men's basketball intramural champion before he finished. It was a great day and we're ready to celebrate.

The Green Corduroy Book

I just received some copies of a books I illustrated in the mail today and I love the way it turned out! It is a book to record funny things that kids say and there are hilarious samples from the author's kids, which is what I illustrated. You can get more info at: greencorduroybook.com

D.C. here we come!

For graduation I was going to surprise Brandon by taking him to NY, which would have been awesome. However, it worked out to be cheaper and easier for us to go to DC and we are so excited! We have a 3 1/2 hour lay over in NY though, so I think that will give us enough time to ride on the subway, eat a slice of pizza, and maybe even snap a quick picture or two. If you only had time for one stop in NY, and it was even during rush hour, and you had a baby, where would you go? And would you bring a stroller?

*trip update*
Actually, it turns out we are going to have a whole day in NY after all. We won't get to see everything, but enough. I can't wait!

Tonight was the top division championship for BYU basketball intramurals and after years of coming close - Brandon's team won!! What a great way to finish his BYU career.

our helpful baby

Sometimes Calvin will smoosh his lips together suspiciously like he's got something in his mouth. Sometimes it's nothing, but the things we have found in there so far are:

lint
peanut
leaf
kleenex
bolt

I think he is trying to encourage us to clean more - where does he find this stuff?? He is also good at encouraging us to eat smaller portions by offering to eat anything on our plate. What a considerate little baby.
