We had a blast celebrating Eli's graduation! The first day was warm and beautiful, perfect for outdoor pictures. The second day was rainy and cold, which Tanner actually loved. He went straight for the puddles! Eli spent his masters program with a great group of friends and we all partied together on Thursday. There was lots of talking, hanging out, and good grub. And then at the graduation when Eli actually walked, all 7 of his names were announced. (For those of you who don't know, Eli has 7 names that make the acronym Gazelem - go look it up in the Book of Mormon. His names are Gabriel Arcangelo Zeezrom Ezra Laconia Eli Morey.) I was thrown back to Arapahoe High School graduation when the same thing happened and everyone chuckled. The reaction was the same this time! I love my uniquely named guy! Congrats lovey love!
After lots of "peas, peas peas, peas" (please), Eli finally reached in the water to get Tan's rock that he threw in the water.
Oops! Forgot there was a giant hood back there!
Tan's activity during Eli's graduation pictures: playing in the dirt and sticks. SUCH a boy.
Tan loved Eli's tassle - playing with that was the only way to get him to smile for pictures
I love this picture! Eli is running down the hill while pushing Tan in the stroller. This is the hill we walked up and down A LOT during our undergrad dating days. Oh the memories!
Eli's Public Health cohort! 
Here's what Tan did during graduation. And guess what I did? Followed him up and down stairs and rows for two hours while taking occasional pictures. The life of a one year old!

What good memories you will have from these days! Glad Tanner "enjoyed" the ceremony so much.
Fun pictures! It was so fun to see you guys, hear you sing :) and celebrate together! Good luck with everything coming up the next few months. We'll definitely have to get together one more time before everyone leaves (once Aaron and I move back of course)!
Hooray Eli! That is so awesome!
