A few weekends ago Mamaw and Papaw stopped by for some play time....as you can see, the kids were SUPER excited. :)

Ortho Graduation

Friday night we were invited to the ortho graduation for the 5th year residents. It was SO nice! It was fun to meet and talk with the other residents and staff and their wives as well as celebrate the past 5 years of the graduating chiefs. Their wives made the sweetest slideshow including drawings and recordings from all of their kiddos. It was extremely emotional and also exciting to think that we will hopefully be there 5 years from now. 

hanging out with Dr. and Mrs. Stahl :)

Proud of this guy

Port A- family vacay

We got to spend Memorial Day weekend with great friends at the BEACH!! Despite a stomach bug for Colby and a teething Camryn, we managed to have a blast and not get anyone else sick. 

Thank you to the Schneider's for sharing your beach house and your weekend with us!!! Can't wait to do it again. 

14 adults and 16 kids... never a dull moment!!

Sweet Melissa made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for ALL of the kids only to get this in return...

I am sure she didn't appreciate the fact that I was rolling on the beach laughing and insisted on taking a picture before I would give her a baby wipe...

super fun night time boat ride and wine with fabulous friends

 Sweetest and happiest baby ever!!! Love this little Jaleigh Bug

 This little man tried crawfish....and liked it!!! (too bad he was in stomach bug recovery and daddy wouldn't let him have more than a bite)

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. :)
