Broc's Finally Graduating!!!!


Looking forward to the future... hopefully he sees one in view! ha ha


I don't think you can have graduation pics without an awkward tree pose!
Every senior picture should include someone hugging a tree, right? I think this just looks so natural! We are thinking of having a mural on our wall of this one!

Yay, he did it! No really, he almost broke his ankle jumping off of that. Good thing we got a good pic the first time, huh!


Well despite the news posted previously, Broc has accomplished so much to this point. He will be graduating from BYU with a Bachelor's Degree in Physiology and Devolopmental Biology on April 25. He is such a hard worker and I have definately learned so much from him. It is so crazy to hear him talk of what his aspirations were back in the day. He thought that he would maybe go to a technical school and learn a trade. Surprisingly, the thought of attending a University let alone graduate school had never crossed his mind. While just fresh off the mission, and a few courses later, Broc had developed a love for medicine. His anatomy course entrigued him in such a way that he began to persue a greater interest in the medical field. And the rest is history. I am so proud of him! He is truly an achiever (I know that sounds really cheesy). But I am grateful for his amazing example to me and to be married to someone so great! I love you Babe!

We didn't want to send out the announcements you can get from BYU so we decided to compile our own. We thought it would be really funny to take Broc's "Senior Pictures" around campus and then send them with the invitations. When we got them compiled, I realized that Broc just was such a natural model with the camera, you can't really tell we were totally joking about the whole thing! Flip, maybe Broc should really consider a job as a male model and forget medical school! What do you think?

Hey You Guys!
We agree that Broc should be a model. The pictures really did turn out great!
We are so so proud of him for all that he has accomplished the past several years. Hmmmmm, let's see, not just a degree from BYU, but a degree in "Marriage", "Family Life", "Fatherhood",
"Leadership in the Church", "Management", (apartment), "Teaching" (MTC), I'm sure the list could go on & on. What an eventful couple of years it has been. I can't wait to see what the next several years will bring. We don't worry about you guys at all. You have so many things figured out all ready. Good job!! We can't wait to see you guys either! And yes! We are totally planning on coming to stay with you. Love you all 3 so so much!

Yeah for graduating, Mike just graduated in December, so I can relate! That is such a HUGE accomplishment, everyone congratulates the graduate, but I think the wife and kids deserve a huge round of applause as well for enduring the years with daddy around less!
Crew is amazing, aren't little boys great! We're quite fond of ours!
I'm so happy that life is so good for you! Lets keep in touch...
