David's Graduation Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating David's graduation from BYU.  

Also, we celebrated Dad and Mom as they were graduating from having all 9 children graduate from BYU.  What an accomplishment! I told them that they deserve to have a brick or a plague with their name on it somewhere on campus.

 

Thursday was the Convocation and Madelyn's first graduation. Afterwards, Dad took us all to Outback Steak House for the traditional graduation dinner.

After the Friday graduation, we hosted a graduation party with pizza, root beer floats, and cake.  Uncle Gene was able to bring Grandma as well as Uncle Gordon.

Since Mom and Dad were also graduating from children being in college, we presented them with their names on the cake, letters from us kids thanking them for supporting our education, as well as an Outback gift card.

 Grandma Fuller presented David with this $100 bill for graduation!

The rest of the weekend, we spent visiting and packing David.  We headed to a park to see Mike and Ta and play with their cute boys.  Congrats to Michael for graduation as he becomes Dr. Shurtz!  They will be heading to Tucson, AZ. 

Saturday evening, we had dinner with many of the Fullers and visited with Uncle Gerald. 

We helped David clean and move out of his apartment, pack for his Jerusalem Study Aboard, as well as re-organize all of his things so he can easily move to Houston when he returns.  Also, David said goodbye to the old blue car as it lasted exactly as long as we needed it to.  It broke down three days before David was flying out.  

We had a wonderful time visiting with my parents.  Dad was great to watch Madelyn, play with her, and take her on a walk.  He is a great Grandpa. Mom was so good to buy us beautiful plants, help us in the yard, as well as teach us how to gel stain.
