Graduation Party

Our parents were so sweet to host a medical school graduation party for Travis last Sunday!! So many of our friends and family were there to celebrate with us. It was GREAT!
Melissa got her baby time with sweet baby Bowen :)
They crack me up
Thank you to everyone who came!!! And thank you to our parents for throwing a wonderful party.
We have the best friends and family anyone could ask for!

Travis' Medical School Graduation

He did it!!! Travis officially graduated from Texas A&M Medical School!!!! We are SOOOOO proud of him. He is the most dedicated and hard working person that I know. He set his mind to doing this and can finally put that MD behind his name. Congratulations Travis!!!!! Time to go be a doctor!!
 On Friday night, Travis and I took a little roadtrip to College Station for his senior banquet and a fun night with friends. He was not expecting to win any awards, but he received an Outstanding Medical Student award from the VA which was very nice. He also presented some awards to the medical school staff as CEO of the Temple campus class. It was very nice and we enjoyed being "kid-free" for a day. :) Thank you to my parents for keeping our kiddos!! 

 On Saturday my parents brought the kids to College Station for the graduation ceremony. Colby did GREAT even thought it was pretty long and boring. :) Camryn and my mom ended up taking a tour of the A&M campus. 
 Hi Daddy!!
 so proud of our graduate
 My grandparents came in town from D'Hanis and Travis' grandmother and her friend came from Oklahoma. They helped make it an extra special day. 
We were missing Dylan! He was in Oregon golfing in the national championship :)
Travis will miss his buddy, Lael! He's going to do an ER residency in Baton Rouge. 
Thank you Erika and Nick for coming!!
Cam had to cool off before heading back to Temple. :) 

Cami loves her Mamaw and Papaw!

We got to spend THREE weekends in May with Mamaw and Papaw. :) Hudson's birthday party, Camryn's Birthday party, Mother's Day and Travis' graduation all brought them to Temple. 
I think Mamaw and Cam have a special bond. They can't get enough of each other!! We're thankful for the extra time we've had with them lately. 

Camryn's 1st Birthday Party

A few weeks ago we got to celebrate CAMI and her first birthday with lots of friends and family. My parents let us party at their house, and my mom did an amazing job with all of the goodies to go along with our ice cream theme. The kids had a blast with the slip-n-slide, water table and sand box. We had pizza and ice cream sundaes- YUM!! This was my kind of party!!
Happy Birthday Camryn!!!! You are very loved!
unlike her brother, she LOVED the attention of everyone singing to her :)
We learned from Colby's first birthday green icing nightmare, and opted for whipped cream topping on the cupcake :)
