Cassie's Graduation "Make it Happen"
On May 30, Matt and I headed down to Salt Lake for Cassie's graduation! We had dinner at Macaroni Grill in Provo before graduation and then headed to UVU through the throng of traffic for the graduation. She looked so amazing! I got a few pictures of her throughout the ceremony, but it was so dark, my pictures only turned out ok. Matt was a good member of the audience. I did have to bring the iPad for him to play games on, and a huge bag of candy to keep his mouth quiet, and he sat still for mostly the entire time. I was comparing my man-child to the FOUR BOYS sitting next to me. They were all in shirts and ties, and were sitting in their seats with nothing to entertain them the entire time (Matt is 28 years old, these kids ranged from 15 to 3), while Matt was in shorts and a baseball hat and had my purse full of things to entertain him. Seriously?
Matt, being a Fischer, had to be as loud as possible when Cassie's name was called. He bought an air-horn before the graduation and snuck it inside. When her name was called, we were screaming like crazy and Matt blew the air-horn until it ran out of air. He scared the crap out of the people in front of us. Like 30 seconds later, one of the security guys came all the way up to where we were sitting and confiscated Matt's air-horn! We were laughing about it because we couldn't believe that he walked all the way up there to confiscate something that we had already used and would not be able to use again. He basically walked to the top of the bleachers to throw away our garbage! I guess he has to do it though. We got a good story out of it, even though Cassie couldn't even hear it!
Happy graduation Cas! We love you and are so proud of you!
Socks
I have posted before about how Matt is in charge of sorting socks after I do all the laundry. Well, he finally got to sorting socks and this was my pile. I thought having colored socks would make it easier to sort, but apparently I have way too many socks because there is not one match there! I'm not sure why I love socks so much, but I have an obsession!
(Eventually most of these socks found their match, just for the record)

Claire's Dance Recital!
I am so lucky to have a niece! I love going to her dance recitals and bringing her flowers and seeing her all dressed up like a princess! Matt was in Wyoming working, so he had to miss her recital, but I loved being able to be there and see her getting better and better!
Her recital reminded me of all the dance recitals that I was in as a little girl, and all the recitals I went to for my sisters. I had to hunt down some of our old pictures (even though it isn't flashback Friday) and post them...
I have hours of home videos of dance recitals... It's hard to believe we spent so much time dancing and yet none of us have any coordination!

Spike and Burt
Spike and Burt have finally made it to their respective homes. Tim put the two elk in the back of his truck and brought them up north. Matt wanted to ride with Tim in the truck rather than with me in the car because he wanted to see people's reactions to seeing the two elk in the truck. He said it was a fun ride home, getting honked at and thumbs up from everyone they passed.
You can definitely tell that Burt is bigger than Spike! Look how huge those horns are!
Matt is pretty happy to have his elk at home. He is thinking about undertaking a huge construction project so he can hang it in the place he wants. If that doesn't work out, anyone sleeping in our spare bedroom will have Spike staring at them all night! Sorry! (But not really that sorry, because you don't have to have a huge elk in your house!)

Jack
Tim and Kamie got a puppy this spring. Matt loves him so much! I think Matt loves the puppy just as much as he loves his nieces and nephews! I have to admit that he is a pretty darn cute puppy.
One weekend we were in Salt Lake and Tim had brought Jack down with them. We were sitting outside watching Reagan and she tripped and fell over. She immediately turns around, finds the dog, and whacks him on the nose, and says, "No, Gack!" That poor dog had nothing to do with her falling over, but she is obviously used to getting tripped up by the puppy. I wish I had recorded it!

Mother's Day
Happy mother's day to my mother, grandmothers, step-mother, mother-in-law, and all my second mothers who played a role in my life over the years. I love you all. Thank you for your example.
