Graduation - BYU Class of 09

We have really enjoyed spending the last few days in Utah to celebrate Brooks' graduation from BYU and the blessing of Brooks Junior. On Thursday we were able to attend the commencement where over 6,100 graduates took 1/2 hour just to enter the building. Just about every seat in the Marriott Center was filled. We heard talks from Elders Nelson and Uchdorf. On Friday each individual school had their own convocation where the graduates were recognized indivudally.

Little Brooks was a little overwhelmed by the crowds and quite unimpressed, but overall, he was pretty good. He certainly was not the only baby in the auditorium.

There were a lot of young families at graduation. It was really fun to see.

We are sure happy to have such hard working sons in law and we couldn't be prouder of Brooks.

Brooks' parents and his grandfather came in from Redmond to enjoy the celebration too. Brooks' grandfather has not missed the graduation of any of his grandchildren.

After it was all said and done, Baby Brooks was happy to be home.
