Graduating and Pictures

 
On May 10, found us at WTAMU to witness Jennifer Howell's graduation with her Master's in Speech Communication.  A beautiful moment to witness and a proud moment to share.  Congratulations! 

Following her ceremony, we headed to Palo Duro Canyon to have family pictures made.  I will tell you that the planning and scheduling of this little get together was like nailing jello to the walls.  (These family pictures taken in the Canyon were supposed to be partially a gift to Mariah since she asked for the whole family last year and for Adoption Day.) The photographer had a change of plans, then we had to schedule to make sure we had the kids.  
And so, finally, it all came together the day of Jennifer's graduation and day before another's day. We just had to celebrate everything at once. And it was HOT! Only a few meltdowns, but still a great time to be together.   I know that we got some amazing shots of our group.  You are all my heroes!

 
  Just a few sneak peak pics.  Hopefully more coming soon!  
 
  Indiana Jones hat, Blues Brothers shades and Bat girl outfit- who's styling now?  Palo Duro Canyon is my favorite place on earth, besides my home.  Libby takes on a special glow when we're there.  Sweet girl only complained once about the heat.  She is such a tough girl! 
Trying to get a lift from SuperBoy!

Here's the fam, minus Mariah who was at work.   


There were some teary moments throughout this day.  With Libby's surgery looming over me, every tangible moment is precious.  These pictures and the time in the Canyon mean the world to me. 

Thank you to everyone who was wiling to be a part of this very special day.
