David Graduated!!

OK. . . so I started writing about these adventures a few weeks ago. . . and now it is all off to me. So sorry for the delay!

Now that school is out, we have been able to relax and play however we like and we have been loving it! So much has happened in the last week!

Last Tuesday, David's dad came to stay with us for a few days to see David graduate. We were pretty busy until Thursday to really do anything with him, but he was just worn out watching us wake up early, come and go to and from classes, and then study. Who knows when or what we ate during that time, but we survived. So Thursday night we went to David's graduation. David was so excited to have people cheering for him as he walked down the aisles and he would stop and hold up the line behind him so he could give us a big happy grin for the cameras.

It wasn't too long of a ceremony since they split it all up into the different departments. I wish I could be done now too, but my turn will come soon!

I only have one semester left here on campus and then one semester of student teaching somewhere. We are still hoping to go to Boise, but the school is giving me a rough time about not wanting to stay in Rexburg. Long story, and annoying process, but we are hoping that we will still get to move to Boise in January. We will have to see!

As a graduation gift, David's dad gave us Settlers of Catan, and I think we have played it at least twice every day that we have had it! We are so glad we got it! He gave David a few other things, but this was my favorite of the things he got! Now we are wanting so many other games to add to our game collection!

David's dad, Ken, likes to feed the ducks with us, and so we popped up a few bags of popcorn and went out to the nature park here in Rexburg. I was nervous since last time we went there, the ducks were full or something, and ignored all the bread we threw at them. . . and the rocks I threw at them when I got mad at them. :)

Our popcorn hit the spot though and we had all the ducks swarming us!
When we ran out of food, I decided to try to catch one that was fat and happy and taking a nap by us. . . but I wasn't very successful :( We all loved it though and were sure glad they were all hungry!

We also spent some time at Chad and Amber's house playing with the new puppies and the girls. Will was gone on a camping trip, so there were a lot of fingernails painted and princess movies watched!
Here is Edison holding Maggie, my parent's new golden retriever puppy! She is such a cute fluffy puppy!
Chad also got a puppy named Chloe. She is a mix of a gillion different types of dogs, but she sure is cute! Her and Maggie love to wrestle all the time and it is so funny to watch. Maggie is a lot bigger, but Chloe is a lot faster and has the energy to run circles around Maggie until she can plow into her and take her down! We can't wait until we get to get a puppy of our own!
Chad and Amber also got three little kittens. Ken was talking on the phone with his daughter Rachel, and this kitten was just climbing all over him! They are just barely cute enough to not care what they do!
So we had a lot of fun with Ken here for the graduation and the start of our summer vacation! I am just worried that this 7 week break will fly by too fast!!!
