lately.

Lee and I have little adventures and milestones every day.  Lately we've spent a few weekends with my parents while Kevin has been out in the desert near Wendover gathering core samples for his Geology thesis. It's been fun to spend time with them, especially since we'll be moving far away once graduation rolls around.  For now we are LOVING being close and having time with them.

1. catching some zzz's with Grandma. 2. chillin' with uncle Dave.   3. snuggles with Grandpa. 4. peek-a-boo with Papa. (we're SO glad when Daddy comes home!) 5. lounging and chatting with Grandpa. 6. stolen pudding spoon. (no pudding yet...Dave.) 7. cousin time: with cousin Chloe. (she is almost exactly two months younger than Lee) 8. uncle Scott's favorite cookies at his belated birthday bash. 9. tuckered out bobble head. :) 10. starting young with his ukulele skills. (and the birth of Lee's theme song by uncle Dave...VERY catchy..."well, baby Lee...") 11. chewing on some green bell pepper.  (Lee loved it..and drooled all over me.) 12. nearly naked conference time with uncle Matty. (nothing better than a baby in a diaper.) 13. more conference with uncle Dave. 14. saying "hi" to Papa during his school day. 15. getting really close to sitting up on his own. 16. all "growed" up.  17. fall fav outfit. 18. enjoying the fall mountains near our house while Papa does 'Friends of Scouting'. 19. the end of a beautiful hike just above our house to Escalante's Cross. 20. bath time.

Graduation and farewell to Rexburg.

Kevin's Graduation for his Undergraduate degree.

Can you tell he loves serious pictures?

Kevin and Brock, his best friend from the program. Claiming the land for Spain.

 It has been so weird for our time in Rexburg to end.  Kevin had a fantastic experience in his program.  He was able to work with so many really devoted professors who hugely impacted him and gave opportunities for tremendous growth on the part of the students. What a great experience.

With Dr. Moore, the Professor that they did the majority of their research with.

Kevin, Brock and Tyler, another really good friend from the program.

         Kevin is in great need of a break, since he's been going to school year round for two years straight. And we're both feeling like a four week summer before he starts his masters program is going to feel a bit quick. But we are SO excited that we're together again after his camping for 6 weeks. Woot.
