The food and decorations were fantastic! It was fun to eat great food and enjoy our wonderful family that we don't get to see very often since we live so far away.
My kids wasted no time and loved every minute with their cousins.
It was a great night and the perfect way to start all the wedding celebrations for the weekend.
He is one lucky boy and looks adorable with his new smile.
Emmy loved all the different nail polish that she could pick from.
She finally decided on the color purple and pink, one for her hands and one for her toes. She also picked glitter to add for a top coat.
She loved every minute of her time that she spent with the girls. She thought her finger and toes were pretty fancy.
It was a VERY hot day. Do you see the kids cute red faces? They ended up get spoiled by getting expensive Slurpies at the game. 
However, I am sure the kids still loved being able to spend time with their dad!
They always have a great time and enjoy every minute. 
They love it when the put cups over the sprinklers and watch the sprinklers shoot the cups up in the air. 
The kids also think it is fun to sit over the drains and make the water clog up.
We also have spent a good amount of time in our little kiddie pool out in the back yard and enjoying Popsicles to cool off. We are trying to stay cool in this hot and humid summer.
Our friend Eric was the main coach for Ben and Emmy's team.
On the very last day of preschool, they had a water day.
The kids LOVED every minute that she is here.
Lorri is always so great to play and spend time with the kids.
Not only did she play with my kids, she helped me pack my house to get ready to move for the 8th time since Brandon and I have been married. She is such a blessing in our lives and we are so lucky to have her! We LOVE Aunt Lorri!
He has worked so hard these past four years. We are all so proud of him!
For me, it was an emotional day thinking about how hard he and I have worked and the sacrifices we have made, as well as other family members, so that he could actually obtain his goal of becoming a doctor. 
This picture includes some of our closest friends that we have had during the past four years. Brandon and his friends Scott and Ben have spent a lot of time together. Brandon has been so lucky to have such great friends to support each other through the process of becoming a doctor. 
Scott and Ben also have great wives that I have grown close to. We were able to get together a few times. We were lucky to have each other.

The two graduates of the day.
Brandon's parents and his sister Lorri were able to be there for his big day.
I am so grateful for the opportunity that Brandon had to be able to attend Optometry school. I know that Heavenly Father played a huge role in Brandon's acceptance to the school, the process of going to school and graduating. This trial/blessing has helped Brandon and I grow closer together as a couple. We have been blessed!
