Spring has been busy but full of fun.
Ben's parents came in town for BYU graduation in honor of CJ and Taryn and Ben's cousin, Landon.
Grandma gave William a fresh new look.
He looks much older with his new haircut.
One of Ben's requirements as a BYU professor is to attend graduation.
It was fun seeing him in his fancy (expensive) robes that honor Cornell.
Ben was excited to attend the commencement where his good friend Paul's dad was speaking, Elder Craig A. Cardon.
We had a family gathering afterward to celebrate all three graduates.
Ben and I went to our first movie in a long time, Divergent.
The week after graduation Ben was scheduled to travel to Dallas for a business trip.
William and I decided to join him and we stayed with Ben's sister, Lauren Reber, in Flower Mound.
William luckily had his own seat on the flight there and it seemed to be very beneficial.
It was a night flight and I thought he would fall asleep by the end (wrong assumption)
Will didn't end up going to sleep until 1 a.m. when we finally arrived at the Reber home.
The Rebers have four girls ages: 9, 7, 5 and 1.
William had a blast playing with all of them and I don't think he wanted to leave.
Olena and Will shared a seat at Costco while we grabbed some lunch on our first day.
We were glad to have warm weather after our cold week in Utah.
It was beautiful park weather.
Ella was really great with William and Dessie enjoyed the bedtime stories as well.
Will LOVED the splash pad and became obsessed with bubbles and blowing them.
My favorite picture of Dessie, Kayla, William and Ella
William also learned he loves popsicles.
On Saturday we went to a nearby lake.
Ben was ecstatic about learning how to fly a kite.
He had never flown one alone, so this was a big day for him.
We were lucky to be in Texas while Olena turned one and Ella turned nine.
We took the girls out of school and had a fun lunch, ice cream, park afternoon.
We were sad to leave but had a blast with the Reber family.
William and I flew home a few days after Ben left.
I was a little nervous about being alone on the plane with William.
We were lucky enough to have the entire back row to ourselves.
Miracle.
William fell asleep within ten minutes of taking off and woke up with 45 minutes left of the flight.
William and I brought back a nasty cold from Texas and were out sick for the following week.
We are finally back to full strength and ready for the summer ahead of us!
