Con"grad"ulations, Kevin!
On Saturday morning, Kevin graduated from UW's Civil Engineering program. I couldn't be more proud of my husband and all he has accomplished! Susan, Mark, Neal, and I were there to cheer him on during his department graduation, and we sure hollered when he crossed that stage! What a momentous occasion.




After a nice reception, we all headed back toward the island to get our party on! Susan and Mark graciously hosted our gathering at their house, and we gathered most of our family and a few wonderful friends to celebrate our guy!
Corbin is getting crazy smart and becoming an expert walker. He has figured out signing in the last couple weeks like nobody's business. We witnessed "more", "book", "baby", "nurse", "cat", "water", and maybe some others that I forget! Smarty pants and cute as a button!

We finally got the nephews together for the first time since the wedding when they were 8 weeks and 5 weeks old! Jackson wasn't so sure what to make of Corbin, but Corbin thought Jackson was pretty interesting! He kept pointing at him and signing "baby"! They will have to have more visits, since they are cousins-in-law!
Does life get any better than this? I don't think so! (Although the boys look like they have had better times!)
The D brothers, Nate and Jackson! Nate is just about done with school, and is heading off for the entire month of July to visit family in Illinois. He is flying by himself for the first time, very exciting and grown up!
Kevin was not expecting gifts, and it was really thoughtful of everyone to celebrate him! He got some great gift cards, a cool new game, a Sounders t-shirt, and from me, he will be getting a Bocce Ball set!


Kevin has accepted a position, so he graduated and has a job, which is quite a relief! Now he gets to enjoy a month and a half off with no responsibilities, so if anyone wants to bug him, be my guest! Some of us have to work all summer! :)

More fun from an historic night!
I am still finding myself welling up with tears and getting goosebumps when I think about how truly monumental last night was for America. I still don't seem to have anything eloquent flowing through my mind to point to just how I feel, but in my heart I know that I witnessed last night one of the GREATEST moments in history. That is pretty overwhelming! So I'm going to go with the age old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words!
Election day cupcakes! We had balloons and streamers and posters, all around election fest decor!
Even the pizza got patriotic!
Kevin was our numbers guy. He kept us updated with the electoral college votes, and we updated our big map 'o the USA!
Me and Danielle, our lovely hostess!
Updating the map, we had little pictures of each candidate on their respective color and placed them on each state as they came down. This was putting up the last of the states that were called last night!
Everyone gathered around the tv to hear our President Elect make his first speech!!!
Break open the champagne, Beth!
CHEERS!
