Memoral day

Besides the yearly ward picnic and 5K run (bike ride for the boys) this year we did something difference for memorial day. We found an ancestor that was buried in Springville and we visited his grave. In that same cemetery, A couple of Dads baby cousins were buried. It was a cool experience to be able to find and learn about those of our family who have passed on and I hope the boys learned something about respect and honor for those who have gone before us. 

Fighting Illini graduate

Dad graduated with his masters degree in Computer Science from University of Illinois! Mom and Dad took the trip to see campus for the first time. Illinois was beautiful (especially after we changed hotels) and we had a great time exploring Champaign-Urbana. Mothers day was a little sad away from the boys but we are so thankful for Nathaniel's Mom who came out to watch the boys. In honor of the University's colors (actually more because finals were so stressful he didn't have time or energy to shave) Dad is sporting a new beard! We are so happy to have Master Dad all to ourselves again (no offence Uof I) because homework stinks! Congrats and good job Dad!
