~Wonderful Role Models~

This month has been FULL of graduations! Two brothers graduated, one from high school, one from college, and one cousin from high school. Our schedules have been so busy! I'll start with my older brother, Nick. He graduated from University of Utah on the 14th with his Doctorate, or to be more descriptive, his Doctorate in Law!!! I've always told my mom it wasn't fair that the majority of the brains hit the first kid so by the time it was my turn I got the little bit that was left over. This is Nick's third college he has attended. He graduated from Weber State in Utah, then Seton Hall in New Jersey, and finally he returned home to Utah to attend the University of Utah! WOW! Talk about dedication! We are all so proud of him and can't wait to see all that he will accomplish now. Here is Nick with our very proud parents.Here are all of the kids. Brady, Alex, Natalie, Nick, Kat, and me. It was so fun to be able to have everyone there for him.This is my Grandma Burke, Nick, and his wife Tati. In June Nick and Tati are moving to Virginia. We will miss them so much!!!

~High School Grad~

Alex graduated from Fremont High on the 24th. He has grown into such an amazing person! I literally and figuratively look up to this kid! He has held a position as a school officer since he was in 7th grade and he has been on the high school soccer team since he was a freshman. The whole time he was able to make the high honor roll every year. We are all so very proud of him too! Life is just starting for him and I know he'll accomplish so many more things.

This is Alex and me at graduation. I am wearing 5 inch heels and he is still so much taller than me! Take a good look at his hair cuz in a couple weeks I get to cut it off for his mission pictures!!

This is Brady, Alex and me. I still call them my little brothers even though they are both far from it! I forgot to hand my camera to someone to get family pics. Sorry. I was so upset when I realized I had forgotten.

~State Championship~

Both of my little brothers are/were on the high school soccer team. They had an AMAZING season!!! I was so glad that I was able to catch a couple of their games when I would visit. Alex plays offense and Brady is on defense. They are both such awesome players! I could watch them play for hours. It's my favorite thing to do! Well, their high school team made it to State and they played at the Rio Tinto Stadium in Salt Lake! Brock and I were able to make it down just in time to see them play. They played their hearts out and did an amazing job! Davis was able to only score one goal (even then, it was a very lucky shot!) I'm so proud that they were able to take 2nd in State! That is a huge accomplishment!!! It was very bittersweet though. This was the last game that Alex and Brady get to play together. At least it was a State Game though!This was my favorite pic I got of them! I LOVE it!! Brady is #28 and Alex is #26.

I am so grateful that I have so many amazing men in my life that my son will be able to look up to and hopefully try to be like! My husband, my dad, my father-in-law, all my brothers and all my brother-in-laws are amazing men! Thanks guys for giving my little man such amazing role models!!!
