GRADUATION!!

BYU-Idaho graduate with a Bachelors in Communication degree.
It finally came, the day finally came! Spencer graduated from college! I am so proud of him! He did it! Its been a long hard four years, but he did it! We are so proud of you and can't wait to see what life has to offer now!
see that white sash/stole on Spencer? Well he had his mom make it up, (bc byui doesn't make/provide ones) and hid it through graduation, and after he gave it to me as a gift. I forgot what he called it, (supportive/honorary sash?),  but he wrote a note on it for me, and gave it to me. It was awesome!

and of course we had to dress the girls in BYU-Idaho shirts....hopefully future students.....a mom can dream can't she! Hopefully i'll get the better pictures from my mom and mother in law and i'll add those to the post later.

The next day we woke up early, checked out of our last rental in Idaho, and headed to Moses Lake. We love our new place and so far Spencer loves his new job. Its been great to be with family again and to have good cooking again! lol, I'm not so great in that area. That wednesday, (25th) we had a little congrats party for Spencer. We had chicos and a little cake for him and had family come help celebrate!.... Now we just see whats next in life!

4th of July

Well the 4th of July this year was a little unexpected. On the 3rd we got the news that the job Spencer had fell through (which we kinda expected....didnt hear from them in a while). We had kinda been preparing for this and so Spencer contacted another place in Moses Lake and they said he could have an interview when we move back. Well , we kinda needed to know what was going on, and it was the 4th the next day and then the 5th was my dads bday and my nephew was being born......so we hurried, loaded the car up, and took off at 6pm from Rexburg to Moses Lake. We got in at about 5:30 AM and all took a much needed nap.

4th- We just had a mellow day. Slept in, did some laundry (wasn't ready when we left so I had a garbage bag to wash, lol), had a bbq with Spencer's family, headed back to my parents to watch the fireworks from the house and light off some small ones with the cousins, and a little later Spencer and I made a stop out at the Baker/Jones Fireworks show at their house. No joke, this show rivals the city show!!! And Spencer and I even got hit with a firework! Its that awesome! lol







5th- My dads birthday and also Kazen's birth day. The girls and I, along with my parents and my sisters girls,  headed to Spokane to meet Kazen! Sorry I really don't have the greatest pics, and I don't have a pic oh me and him, my mom has them on her camera. It was a long day, but worth it to see the little guy


Birthday boys




6th- Spencer had an interview and got the job hes worked there before, so we kinda new he would get it!) My mom had a friend who was maybe going to manage a house for another lady, so we tried our luck and asked her. Turned our she wasn't going to, but gave me the address and lady's info to maybe talk to her. So we left the kids with my parents and headed over to the house to check it out. Turns out she was there, we got a tour, talked to her, and later that day got the place to rent for a year! AWESOME! heres a link to see pics. we are supper excited! Later that night we went to the Kings house for some s'more making and Spencer and Adyson tried out their pop up camper they got. They had lots of fun!




7th- that was kind of our lazy day. My parents and I took all the girls to home depot to do the kids craft, which was a moving van. Crystal and Josh came home with Kazen so Spencer was able to meet him. We were able to fill out the lease for the house, and just spend some time with the fam. 

 all in all, it was a very fast, fun filled trip! Got a lot done and cant wait to move back in less then 13 days! Heck more excited for Spencer to graduate on the 20th!!!! WOOO HOOO
