After we said our goodbyes to the family it was time to also say goodbye to Aaron as well for a couple of months while he goes through more miltary training, so I accompanied Aaron on a long drive out to Oklahoma and left Jonah with his grandma (Aaron's mom). While we were there we went to the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial which was quite moving. We are standing in front of the original site of the building, which is now replaced by a chair for each person that died in the bombing, all 168. In the second row there are smaller chairs representing the children in the daycare that were also casualties. All in all, it just reminds us to live each day like it's your last and always let the people you love know you love them because you never know when something like this or anything else can happen to them.

And THEN we had Matthew's graduation from BYU and he looks quite happy to be done doesn't he. Now I guess it's on to Columbia University. Its back to NY for Matt.

And here he is with the proud family.

We then had Aaron's Officer Commissioning ceremony because he is finally graduated!!! Woo hoo! His parents got to be there for it as well so that was nice for him. His dad who left the National guard as a Captain got to swear him in.

Here he is in the MTC after receiving his official nametag which he will be wearing for the next 2 years straight.

So ALOT has happened over the last couple weeks which has made it hard to keep up with this, but I'm going to post some of the pictures from the exciting events that have happened.

First, we had James's missionary farewell. As all of you know, he is going to be going to Buenos Aires, Argentina in a few months but first he has to learn the language and teaching methods and things so we got to accompany him into the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo, UT. Here we all are in front.
