A lot to update

I keep falling behind on my posts and a lot has happened. Starting May 1st Drew's schedule changed at work. He is now working from 6PM to 6AM. He works for 2-4 days then has 2-4 days off. This last weekend he had a 4 day weekend. It has been nice to see him more and spend more time with him. Drew worked on the 1st and 2nd but had the 3rd and 4th off. My parents were in Kanab teaching a class, so we made a last minute decision to drive 5 1/2 hours to Kanab. We left on Monday around 6PM and stayed until Wednesday morning to get back in time for Drew to go to work that night. It was so nice to see them. It took Landen only a few minutes to get comfortable with Grandpa and not too much longer with Grandma. It took Dade about half the day before he was comfortable with them both. It was a long drive and a short visit but it was fun. Every time we see family it makes us miss them all even more. I have a lot of pictures from our visit. On Friday the 7th Drew had his graduation from Salt Lake Community College. Drew's cousins, Mandy and Amber, were able to come to the graduation. I am so proud of him. I had a good Mother's Day. Drew had the day off so I enjoyed spending the whole day with him and the boys. I also want to say that I love my mom and my mother-in-law. You both are wonderful women and we are so thankful to have you both in our lives. On April 30th Mandy Graduated from Utah Valley University so here are some pictures from after her graduation at her house.

On our way to Kanab.


Giving me his cheesy smile.


He never quite got comfortable with the dogs.


Landen and Grandpa playing at the park in Kanab.




Dade loves to swing, even though he really didn't look happy here.


Dade would not look at him at all but you can tell he thought Grandpa was funny.




Grandpa gave Dade a Ladybug and he kept trying to grab it.




Landen loved walking the dogs.


I got Landen to swim all by himself. He would only tred the water but its a start.


Dade was quite curious about grandma's drink. My mom was teaching the class so we didn't get to spend as much time with her.


Drew and I at his SLCC graduation.


Mandy, Amber and her kids with us. It was nice to have them there to help us celebrate Drew's accomplishments. We hope that all our family will be able to be here next year when Drew graduates from U of U. I am so proud and thankful for all the hard work he does to support our family.
