My parents and siblings came up to celebrate Krystal's graduation from nursing school. And Cooper's blessing. Just as a little side note...it took Krystal 6 years to graduation with a 4 year degree. ...I'm just sayin'.
Everything began on Friday promptly at 2:30pm at Tocanos. The problem was that 3/4's of the party wasn't at Tocanos. Mom and Dad with their 6 person crew was stuck in traffic an hour away and Stephen and I were in Payette, ID just over an hour away.
Just as a very fun side note. The reason that we were in Payette was because we were getting this:
A 2008 GMC Acadia. And yes. It is red.
After a very long time of scrimping and saving, Stephen and I bought the car we have been lusting over for a year. To say that I love it would be an understatement.
We were in Payette at the DMV taking care of trading in Stephen's car. We were there for an hour. Aaahhhhhh!! We were not supposed to be that long!
Back to Tocanos.
We rolled in to Boise and 3:30 and ate deliciousness on sticks that were being wheeled around the restaurant by their impressive waiters. Love that place.
That night we were required (by Krystal) to be at her nurses pinning ceremony in our Sunday best. Krystal waited until the last minute to tell us that it was Sunday dress and then didn't tell us that it would last 2 hours. Only Krystal. She then made us sit through hundreds of pictures. It was like her wedding all over again. Minus the white dress.
These are only a handful of pictures that were taken.
Stephen is hot.
Maycee is seriously teething. 80% of the time this is where her fingers are with a huge pile of drool running down her chin and pooling on whatever is underneath...
Yeah. Check out these family photos. I really don't even know what to say.
Grandma was dying. After all of the chaos of the pinning ceremony, she did not want to walk back to the pickup. Dad stole a wheelchair front the event and pushed Grandma to the pickup. We ended up using it the next day as well before Dad brought it back.
The wheelchair gave Grandma a reason to steal Maycee.
These pictures are so cute.
I really wish I could have gotten Maycee to smile though.
On Saturday we were again herded down to Boise State for the actual graduation ceremony. Krystal threatened us with our lives if she did not hear us yelling after they called her name to pick up her diploma.
Honestly I have to say that those Boise State people were very efficient in handing out the diplomas. They had two people calling out names and neither one of them stumbled on a name once. I really thought they were going to have issues with some of the crazy Asian names, but they never even batted an eye.
After Krystal walked we had a BBQ at Shane and Krystal's and then headed out to play tennis. I LOVE tennis, but I really stink at it. I played with Charisse. She made me run from one end of the court to the other. Man am I out of shape. To give her credit, it was Charisse's first time playing. We had fun.
Thanks Krys, for giving us another reason to get together.
