Ashley's Graduation


Ashley graduated from college on April 29, 2011.  This is her story (at least of her graduation from the eyes of her parents).  Laurie flew in early, to help Ashley pack her things, give away her things, throw away her things, and take lots of pictures.  She took many wonderful pictures, and we are sharing a few here.

The whole family flew in to help Ashley enjoy her special time.  Tiffany and Kayla flew in from Seattle with Rudy, Terrill and Emily flew in from Philadelphia, Jen and James from Oakland, Braden from Boston.  Most everyone arrived on Thursday in preparation for the ceremonies on Friday.  The ceremony took place on Friday afternoon.  Afterwards, we took a few pictures at UVU, and Ashley had a chance to share her special time with her favorite niece!



Kayla had to be bundled up... it was cold and snowing in Provo on April 29th.

Afterwards, we all drove to La Caille in Sandy for dinner.  A tradition for all four kids... though this time the group was a whole lot bigger than when we started, and we loved having everyone with us!





If you look closely, you can see the snow on the bridge, and on the ground under the carriage.  We look great, but everyone was shivering... a cold evening!

The next day, Laurie and Ashley flew back to Oakland, while Rudy got to have a Road Trip!  what a blast.  I got into some trouble with Laurie because of all the pictures I took while driving, but it really wasn't that dangerous... there were very few other drivers silly enough to be on the road with me.

Provo on Saturday morning... April 30th.  Looks more like January!

Somewhere in Nevada.  I always thought of Nevada as brown, but after all the rain, it was beautiful and green.

Boreal Ridge in the Sierra's.  Lifts were still running on April 30th.  Sorry Terrill!

And let's not forget the main event!

Congratulations Ashley!
