Graduation weekend

It's true~Seth graduated from BYU this past weekend and for the first time in our 5 year marriage we are NOT BYU students! Definitely cause for celebration and celebrate we did! We had both of our parents come from out of town to be here for graduation and we were so glad to have everyone together. I am so proud of Seth and I am so happy he is finished! He is amazing~ he completed his undergrad degree in just over 2 years! It took a lot of hard work from both of us and we really had to sacrifice over the past few years, but it is so great to now say we are DONE!











These are just some cute pics of grampa making Jackson laugh during his bath....We really enjoyed having our family in town and we (especially Jackson) was so sad to see everyone go. We had everyone over last Friday night for a BBQ and it was so great to have almost all of our family together. I was so sad when I realized I didn't get a picture!






On Saturday, my sister and I took my mom on a Girl's Date for her birthday...these are our pedicures...but we also went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Pointe and out to lunch at Los Hermanos! It was a great girls day out!

Saturday night, Seth and I headed up to Salt Lake to celebrate our 5th anniversary. We figured we needed to take advantage of having so many babysitters around and we stayed the night at The Inn on the Hill, a little bed and breakfast just north of temple square.
It was a darling little place and I think we will definitely go back the next chance we get.

And last but not least, we took the opportunity with everyone together to have Jackson make a little announcement for us:

Stoker baby #2
Coming November 2010!!!
















Easter

Jackson and I died Easter eggs with some friends during the priesthood session. We had a great time trying out all the colors, but the kids ended up just wanting to eat all the eggs. I didn't even known Jackson liked hard-boiled eggs, but I think he ate 2 or 3 eggs all on his own!


It snowed the night before Easter Sunday, so Jackson ended up having to do his Easter egg hunt in the backyard snow. I don't think he minded too much once he saw all the treats the Easter bunny brought him!
