Ethan's Allen Elementary School Celebration

Ethan, Nathan Tillitson, Spencer Mitton...all in great costumers created by none other than the famous Karen Mitton herself.

What a proud moment...your son in a lion costume

Is that a tear in his eye? Can it be a happy tear from the inner joy of wearing the costume of the most feared creature on the planet!

Oh life...they learn young that the moments of pure joy are mingled in with a lot of boring fill.

Random thoughts

I about blew a gasket when I went to cook a good steak on the grill and found some stupid rodent bird had built a nest...It was cute though but only looking back

Two of our best friends, the Parkers and the Mittons...

The danger in having a baby around when there is a big sister...

More Celebration!

Went with my family to eat my favorite food after graduation...crab legs. Oh, that is good!

Another party for the LDS MBAs...good times

Thanks to all those that were able to make it out to our post graduation party at Devin's clubhouse...good food, great friends!

Graduation, cont...

The birds, who we could not have enjoyed Michigan without!

My wonderful parents from Logan, Utah. We got to see them when we first came to school as they were serving a mission in the Kirtland visitor center.

The only reason I live, breath, exist, and made it through school...the most beautiful woman in the world!

We left the two little ones at home as they may not have survived the heat or the long sitting during the graduation. These little ones survived like champs...as I made my way back to my seat, I heard Korbin yell "Live long and prosper"...I'm raising them well!

Graduation!!

Live long and prosper...ya, I really am that much of a geek.

Proof. Don't delete this photo.

My great friend Devin Bird...yes, he's a tall one, and sharp as a knife.

My folks (sorry, Mel hates that word) came out to see their favorite son! Their only son with an advanced degree. (Don't worry, my family never looks at my blog anyway)

Graduation!

The dean at a reception prior to the graduation ceremony...a great guy.

This was my study desk. Everyone knew it. It pretty much had my name on it.

The last time on Campus!

Our growing family...two years older than when we started! (The Law school is in the background)

The last time Kirk will use his secret back door exit. He had his little quiet place in the school down some dark stairwell that ended with this door warning of an alarm if opened...so kirk kept going out and setting off the alarm until they disabled it!
