Tom's graduation

My little brother Tommy ("little" meaning he is younger than me--this guy is not so "little"-he's 6 foot 4 inches!!!) graduated from high school in May. We foolishly thought--"hey we already survived a wedding with a 3 week old, why not do a road trip to St. George, UT with a 4 week old?!!" So we drove up for Memorial weekend and got to spend some time with him, my other brother Eddie, my mom (and her husband) and my dad (who was visiting from Palm Springs, CA). We were only there for a short trip, but we had a great time! We did some shopping, ate at a couple of yummy restaurants, and went to the movies. On the way back, we got to stop in Henderson, NV and have a bbq and pool party with Mark's oldest brother and his family. (Oh yeah--and the kids were angels in the car. All 3 of them slept most of the trip--thank goodness!!)

P.S. Did I also mention that Maddy was potty training that week?? And she can now proudly that there was not one single accident the entire road trip!! Yeah for Maddy!! Now we only have one kid in diapers ;)

Tom the newest SCHS graduate

The gang--when Tom's name was read, the girls were shaking their maracas and blowing their horns like crazy! His graduation was at 8 AM!! That's 7 am our time--and we pulled in to Mark's parents place at 2:30 am that morning. Needless to say, we were a bit sleepy!!!

On the way home we had to cool off in Vegas with Gary and his family

I'm glad we could make it to Tom's graduation and cheer him on! Yeah Tommy!!
