Graduation Celebration

Friday May 15 was a long awaited day! Jason's graduation from law school! Thank you to all our friends and family who not only congratulated and helped us celebrate Jason's achievement, but who have also supported and cheered us on these last 3 years. It's meant a lot to us.
Waiting for Dad's big moment.
Perusing the commencement program.
Waiting, waiting, and waiting for the ceremony to start.
Finally getting started.

It's official, he's a graduate~


We are all so proud of his hard work and efforts!









Dinner afterwards.




Trying on the gear.
Saturday we celebrated with a pool party at the beach condo.









We rented a frozen strawberry daiquiri machine...kids and adults loved it!




Jason is now in full bar prep mode. He takes the big test July 28 & 29.

We've done a lot of thinking and have decided we like living in Lake Mary too much to warrant a move. We've found a great 4/2 pool house to rent in the Heathrow neighborhood. We plan to be there a few years and then buy in the same school zone. We move in June 1st! (photos from the realtor's site, not our stuff.)

Mother's Day...FL style

Little Lauren loves her music and will walk around carrying the ipod attached to some portable speakers.

Although I didn't realize it would quickly lead to an ipod fatality....

open toilet + 11 month old = failure! Luckily it was my older one that didn't work great anyway.


For Mother's Day we traveled to Sea World and even though it was excruciatingly hot, we had a great time! Checking out the sting rays...



The Clydesdales are going to be leaving Sea World soon, we'll miss them!
Big moment!! Natalie is now tall enough to ride some of the big rides! She was so proud!

L loved the splash park, (forgot her suit!)

My Mother's Day breakfast!

The night before we had dinner with Jason's family at a Japanese steak house. L was enthralled.
The crew...


We took a trip up to Jacksonville to visit Jason's dad and to pick up our kitties. Daisy is staying a little longer until we get a house with a yard.
L LOVED the animals.
She also had her first real experience with the ocean and beach. Loved it too!
The beach was next to the Jacksonville port. Some very large boats leaving out of there.


There's a base near by as well.

Natalieism
We were playing that N was the Mommy and I was the baby. She asked how old I was and said, "2." She came back and said, "You can be 16, 17 or 18 because your shoes are way bigger than 2!"
