We have been busy "vacationing" at our house. We went to Phoenix last weekend for Richard's Master's degree graduation. He graduated, with high academic honors, (we are proud of him) from Grand Canyon University with his Master's in Ed. Administration. He has worked hard and we are so proud of him. We stopped in Vegas and at Hoover Dam along the way to getting there and the boys were EXCELLENT little troopers for the trip. Car ride, graduations and all.

The graduation itself was very impressive and I have never been to a commencement like it- Fireworks and all. It was neat for Duncan to see his dad graduate and it is something that he will be able to remember a little bit. All in all, it was a great trip and reward well worth the drive.
We had lots of support from our family as my parents, Richard's parents and his Grandparents all made the trip with us. We enjoyed the pool immensely and the nice warm sunshine as well. Clayton even got his first taste of the pool and loved it, just as much as his brother loves it-imagine that :) So, here are LOTS of pictures from our trip-and yes, we did enjoy the weather since it was snowing at home most of the time that we were gone!

Congratulations to our Dad and my sweetheart- you definitely earned that hood! Good job, we're all proud of you:)
