Graduation Fiesta - April 19, 2012

 So Thursday night after the Convocations for graduation everybody gathered at my parents house for a big dinner, dessert, and a whole lot of fun! It was so fun to get to see everyone, chat and catch up with family I haven't seen in a while and to just be together! It was a fun celebration! 

People that were there (I wasn't able to get a picture of everyone because I forgot to get my camera out for the first half of the night): Doug and Kathy, Janelle, Catherine, Camille; Matt and Dixie; Lincoln, Megan, Baby Bevan; Landon and Rachel; My Parents Lyle and Tammy; Dawson and Stacie, Oaklee, Bridger; Nolan, Zach, Wyatt, Olivia, Enoch; Grandma and Grandpa Haycock, and my wonderful in-laws and most of their family, Mike and Sundee Stone, Jessica, Cosette, Mindy, Levi, Mitch, Wesley, Preston, Nicole, Megan and Cody! We had quite the crowd!! Sorry if I missed anybody... oh and of course my amazing husband and daughter, Rick and Kimbri, were there with us:)

Here are a few snapshots I took to document the fun event:

Nicole LOVING her horse ride!

Cody popping bubbles

Kimbri having some Grandma Haycock time :)

Landon and his wife, Rachel

The dessert was phenomenal! Haha...they got the favorite pies of all the graduates. How nice of them:) There were so many different dessert options! They got banana cream pie in my honor, which was greatly appreciated, but I ended up going with the cheesecake with those delicious-looking berries on top. YUM!!!

Dan, Judd

Ben on the horse and Dawson. Dawson was so nice to give all the little kids horse rides!

Rick and his littlest brother, Cody

So when Kimbri first met Nolan, and for several days after, she would burst into tears  and would NOT let him hold her! This is one of many terrified looks when Nolan tried to hold her.  Since then he has given her a lot of food and because of that, she likes him now. HaHa! :)

A beautiful sunset to end the night! I love sunsets!

I'm so happy to be graduated and done with school so I can focus more on my family! Thanks Rick for being such a supportive husband so that I was able to finish school and graduate. I love you!!
