My Graduation from Nursing School

I graduated from nursing school! All I have left is to study and take my license exam and then I'll be an RN... then I guess I'll need to find a job, but for now, graduation is exciting enough! :)

Thanks to my parents and sisters as well as Jeff's parents for travelling so far to come support me at graduation! I loved my cheering section! :)

We skipped the big morning cermony, and only attended the afternoon ceremony for the School of Nursing and Allied Health. It was a much smaller and quicker ceremony, and the kids didn't have to miss much of school to attend. Then after the graduation ceremony, we went out to eat at Chuck a Rama, then headed back to campus for my pinning ceremony. A lot of work went into planning the pinning ceremony. I was on the graduation committee and served as a student representative for the semester. I worked with a couple of amazing and on-the-ball girls, and the ceremony was a success!
Below are some pictures from the day:

Daycation

 Over spring break we took a day trip to Kanab to visit the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary... we had a great time and got to tour an awesome facility! Some pictures from our trip:

Kara's science fair

 Kara participated in her school's science fair this year.... I'd like to say she had fun, but that may not be an entirely true statement. She wanted to participate and was proud of the end result. The process... not so fun! We're glad it's over for the year!

Fun surprise...

The girls surprised us by picking some flowers from our giant bushes in the backyard. They made us this cute heart! :) Fun surprise! :)

Choir performance at Tuacahn

Brooke performed with her school's choir (along with several other schools in the district) at Tuacahn amphitheater.... a beautiful outdoor amphitheater located in Snow Canyon in St George. We love watching Brooke perform... it was fun seeing her front & center for the combined choir songs. She even got to stand next to several girls who were on her basketball team who go to a different school... she had so much fun! :)
