Tidbits

*My Aunt Mari Ann graduated on Saturday from Western Governor's University with her MBA! We are super proud. We were the loudest and most embarrassing family at the graduation, by far. What better purpose for a family than to embarrass you! We even held up homemade signs. Fancy, I know.

{Don't even ask me what this picture is of. It appears to be a graduation and that is all that matters. It happens to be the only one I took, so it will have to do. Nevermind the blurriness!}

*Last weekend was busy and fun. I stayed at Che's house Friday night to help prep for Mari's luncheon the next day. That night, I met two of my closest friends for dinner in SLC. Camille and Kylee were both in town for family reunions so it worked out perfect! We haven't all been together for AGES- probably not since Camille's wedding. We all went to high school together and then were roommates at BYU. I didn't take any pictures of us, of course, but do have the following two:


{Hallie and Jayda were a bit out of control. They took over the booth next to us, which was great.}
{Camille with Jace. It was her first time meeting him. He loved her. This was just after he had a huge blow-out. Always fun in a restaurant!}

Lesson Learned: TAKE MORE PICTURES!

*After the luncheon at Che's, we hung out to all hours of the night and played games, etc. So much fun. I just love being around my family. We got the idea to compare the size of Hudson's thighs to Jaces:
{Hudson on the left and Jace on the right. Keep in mind that Jace is 2 1/2 months YOUNGER than Hudson. Oh, dear.}

*We got a new report on MF via email and three new pictures! My heart just melted when I saw them. She is growing up so fast and it hurts my heart that she is still sitting in the orphanage when I just want her HERE. The reports are promising- it seems like she is making great progress!

*If you are in Utah and like running, here is an opportunity for you! A friend of my aunt Linda's contacted my mom on Facebook and said that she had submitted their family's name to be part of a fundraiser in the Cache Valley Mud Run. A portion of the proceeds will go to Brad and the kids for anyone who signs up with the code ROWBURY. It is a 5k race through the mud and looks amazing. I think we will be getting a family team together to participate. What a fun thing to do in the memory of our Linda. Here is the page that explains about their family as part of the fundraiser if you want to read it. Please spread the word to anyone you know who may be interested.

That's about it for now! I will try to be better about updating more regulary- but with all the summer fun, it can be a bit tricky!
