graduation times two

the whole crew

both of my brothers graduated from byu-idaho two weeks ago. it was a memorable experience for several reasons but it meant a lot to me because it was the first time that the six of us kids have been together since my brother justin returned home from his mission two years ago. since we're all growing up, our opportunities to be together don't come as often as they used to so i'm thankful for this opportunity we had to be together.

i think i have such handsome brothers! and they're smart too! bryce (on the left) graduated with a bachelor of science degree in exercise science. he is heading up to eastern washington university in spokane, washington in the fall to start his graduate work in physical therapy. justin earned a bachelor of science degree in agricultural sciences and technologies. he is headed out to lawrence, kansas and starting work may 1st for pioneer seed company.

i don't know if you can tell or not but this pic is hilarious! everyone's expressions are classic!

can't you tell i'm the oldest? i'm the most mature... yeah right! :) actually it's kind-of sad because four of my younger siblings have all earned their bachelors degrees and melissa is set to graduate in a year and a half so then they all will have gradated before me! my only goal now is to graduate from college before anders does!

my parents helped out with the kids a lot during the ceremony! it was nice to have a break!


don't chloe and andrew look a lot alike in this pic?

the couch potatoes... must have been a good show!

anders explored every nook and cranny.


andrew had some shy moments... and some fussy moments... he's in a funny stage right now. separation anxiety or stranger danger, whatever you call it, it's hit!

WOW! It is crazy to see all of your siblings grown up. I remember them when they were all SO much younger. How fun to get together with all of them again!
