Jason Graduates!

Friday, May 6, 2011 marks another milestone in Jason's life! He graduated from Dixie State College with honors (Latin Cum Laude) with a bachelor degree in Literary English. Way to go, Jason!

A masters program is in the near future, we're just still deciding where.

President Thomas S. Monson spoke at the commencement ceremony. Elisha and Jason's mom were the lucky people to go, as each graduate received only 2 tickets.

Everyone (Elisha, Mom, Jeremy, Cierra, Margie, Tim, and Dawn) attended the convocation to watch Jason receive his diploma. Yeah!!! (Thanks to Brandon for watching the kids!)

Elisha couldn't be prouder of her Love!

Jason is also a proud member of Sigma Tau Delta, an English Honor Society. Below are the current graduates with adviser, Dr. Comeford.

The joke in Sigma Tau Delta is the acronym: STD. It's said it's the only one good for you. For fun, Jason got Harrison to say STD. He kept on saying it the rest of the night!

Easter was really fun this year, especially with Harrison more able to do things. We attempted to explain the real purpose of Easter, but what 2-year old understands that? So, we just focused on the family and enjoying being together.

Uncle Jeremy thought it would be fun to dye eggs. Notice how Daddy's the one helping? Dyeing the egg (Harrison did most of them) consisted of drawing with crayons and putting the egg in dye. Daddy would put the egg in the dye, and Harrison would stir it. It actually turned out really well.

Aaagh! Don't eat the dye, Harrison. Anytime he got dye on his hands, he wiped his face or body. It looked like war paint afterward!

To be safe, we had Harrison in just his diaper.

Harrison LOVES playing with Uncles Jeremy and Brandon.

To start small and simple we hid plastic eggs and gifts in Harrison's room rather than the yard so that he could actually find the items. And, to make it easier to upload the experience, there are 9 videos. Just watch them in order and you should get the whole experience :)

Kendall also had a good time, chilling most of the time with Namaw.

Kendall: 2 Weeks

Kendall's 2week appointment went well. He had been losing weight in the hospital, but as soon as we started supplementing with formula, he started gaining. Now the stats, as of April 18 stand as such:

Weight: 9 lbs 6 oz
Length: 21.25"
Head: 95%

Kendall's in the high ninetieth percentile in all categories. We're not concerned, as Harrison was the same way and has averaged out.

So far we know that Kendall loves to be held, especially when sleeping. He does not like to be messy with spit up or diapers. And, when it's time to eat, it's now, not later.

Kite Festival

Every April, St. George has a Kite Festival at a local golf course. The first year we went, it was pretty low-key. There weren't any booths, but lots of room and wind to fly a kite. Seeing the sky full of kites is just so fun! Each year it has become more popular. This year there were tons of booths, but faulting in wind.

We were looking forward to going, just to have an experience with Harrison. So, even though we just had a baby 2 weeks ago, the baby stayed at home with Namaw, and we had a day out with Harrison. (Thanks to Jeremy and Brandon for coming to help!)

Harrison loves to see the school buses around town, so we were excited about was the shuttle ride on the school bus and looking forward to Harrison's reaction. You can't tell, but he's excited, just checking everything out.
