The Polson Family: Melanie Graduate's!

So last week (the week that J-Man went back to the sand) was somethin' else!

I was dog sick with the worst cold I've ever had, and I had a busy, busy schedule!

I had plans to make a little girl a cake for her birthday that was on Saturday, May 14. Well that was the day my little sister was graduating college at BSU...and we of course were going to see that! So, I had to make the cake before we left.

It was fun-ish...I say fun-ish because I WAS SO DANG SICK, while bustin' this cake out, that a couple of times I thought I was literally going to pass out! I wore a face mask while baking, making, putting together the cake, and I about suffocated a few times! But it turned out SO cute! Hopefully it won't be the only time I get to build a girly cake!

It was zebra print with lime green accents! I know you want one... right?

Next on my extra-curricular activities was making GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENTS for Karlee, a family friend! I took her senior pics back in November, and together we came up with these!

Back....

So with me being the sick with the worst cold in the history of colds...I'm afraid the boys got sick as well. This was them Thursday afternoon. Aydan passed out in the toy room for awhile, and Traceon on my bed. This was even after they both had long naps...in their normal sleeping places...their beds! Poor guys! I hate when the the tiny people get sick with colds, because they're too little to give any cold medicine to. Only some Tylenol.... : ( Where as an adult, I shoved anything and everything down my throat, to get even an once of relief!

Friday morning after Aydan's preschool, we headed to Boise with my grandparents! it was a long trip over, and at times, I thought my esophagus was going to rupture, we made it! And it was BEAUTIFUL in Boise, so we immediately had to go to our favorite park, which is right by the University!

Little Boy Blue!

Aydan-Bug!

Swings!

(Notice their blue and orange outfits...cute and appropriate huh? Except that I should have had them where them on Melanie's actual graduation day! Oh well!)

I love little boy sandals from the Baby Gap...They are always on sale at the first of May. Instead of 22 bucks, I got them for 7! Whoot! Whoot!

Our grandparents and Melanie!

My mom and Dennis.

Saturday May 14, 2011 my little sister, at the age of 21, graduated with honors, with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing! She's pretty much got the world in her hands. She also just got a 3 month internship, that will turn into a job with salary, if she proves herself worthy. Obviously that's going to happen, so yay for her! I'm so proud and happy for her! Congratulations Bean!

Here we are at her ceremony!

The orchestra...

The boys watching all the graduates get to their seats! So cute!

My dad, Jerri, and Audree were a couple of sections to the left of where we were sitting in the Taco Bell Arena, so a snagged a pic of them!

Melanie, the college graduate!

At the beginning of the ceremony they had a moment of silence for all the Military and their families that are currently serving....aka....us!

ALL OF THE SPEECHES WERE AWESOME, and it was a great ceremony! The boys were miserable, and probably made everyone around them miserable, but we made it through, to see Melanie walk. I had my camera all ready to take a pic of her getting her degree, but Trace was asleep on my lap, and in that quick moment he moved, which made me move, and I got a pic of the lights instead of her on the big screen. : (
