Graduation

Jon graduated from UCSD last Sunday with his bachelors degree in Human Biology. Here are some pics from the day.

As we were all walking toward the grass field where graduation was I realized I was one of the only ones pushing a stroller - a double stroller at that!! Yes, crazy enough to bring two little ones to graduation. Luckily Heidi, Jason and Emily came along to help out. There were a lot of seats in between us and other people so the kiddos had a bit of room to run around. Thank you Heidi and Jason for coming!!

Jon with the kids. Mallory had long passed out by that point, but Brady was very excited to see his daddy.

Congratulations Jon, we know you have worked very hard for this and taken classes where I didn't even understand what the title of the class meant! We are so proud of you!

Sea World

Yesterday was the last day our sea world passes were good so we decided to make a night of it. Brady loves the shamu show especially the part were they do the "Shamu Splash".

Brady is pretty fearless and keeps his hands up the whole time

Earrings!

Mallory got her ears pierced a few weeks ago. We decided to do it while she was little and wouldn't mess with them. She did great!

Jon held her (because I was such a wimp, I could barely watch). We kept dipping her pacifier in orange soda - isn't sugar a natural anesthetic? :) She was so brave!

Here is the little cutie pie just moments after - the tears already gone!
