Just Another Day in Paradise: Beginning of Summer!

So, I just remembered that I've had this post written for at least a month now, and it's just been waiting for me to add pictures and post it! (Busy and distracted, perhaps?) Anyway, here it is...

We're so glad that warm weather and sunshine are here to stay! We've had quite a lot going on as of late so I'll attempt as brief of an update as possible.

First, Matt is officially a Utah State graduate and has now not only completed his coursework, but has also had his day of recognition for all of the hard work he's done. We watched him walk and receive his diploma (well the cover at least) the first weekend of May. He looked very handsome and distinguished wearing his cap and gown with his hood. ;) Matt's dad was also able to fly out from Florida for the special occasion which was lots of fun!

Matt's up there on the top row waving--not the best quality picture,

but all of the other better ones are on Matt's dad's camera.

Abby and Grandpa Carl--best buds!
(until the fussing begins that is... ;) hehe)

For memorial day we went up to Logan to visit my aunt Heidi, her husband Jeremy, and their little 2 1/2 year old daughter Isabelle. It'd been a while since we'd seen them and it was so fun to get together again! Isabelle was especially excited that we were bringing "Baby Abby". She even told me over the phone not to forget to bring her with us. :)

We were all playing dress up. Isabelle had fun putting her stuff on Abby. :)

The rest of the weekends in May we kept busy by going down to Manti for Mother's Day and going to a car show with my family to watch my dad play in his band.

Our little Abby is getting bigger and cuter all the time! (Everyone is always telling us that too!) She still looks pretty little compared to a lot of babies her age, but she's healthy and strong. Here are some recent pictures:
