Graduation!

Oh, how the pride swells! :) You'll have to excuse me, I feel I could brag on and on about my husband- I'm just so proud of him! Yesterday, Travis graduated not only with one, but two masters in two very unrelated fields! He received his MBA and a Masters in Mechanical Engineering. He really has the best of both worlds. Anyway, I'm just beaming with pride for him. :) He's worked so long and so hard for this- and we feel so blessed to have been able to do it all without student loans!

Both our parents were able to be there to support him, and after convocation we had a delicious dinner at Brick Oven (Travis's favorite). The celebration continues as we head to Disneyland next week! Then he starts his new job the week after. Congratulations, Travis! We love you!

Kayaking

Big news! We now own a kayak. An inflatable one, that is (like we'd really have room for a hard shell kayak!). :)

And the best part is we got it for free with our Amazon points! We wanted to start a hobby or something that our family could get into and would be a fun family tradition for years to come. And since we live so close to different bodies of water, we figured why not kayaking?

(Me trying a solo run)

It arrived a couple days ago and we couldn't wait to break it in. Jaxon just wanted to jump in the water the whole time, but he still enjoyed the ride and watching the ducks alongside us.

The three of us can fit in it, but there's less room for Jaxon to move around. It be nice to one day get another one so we can pack camping gear. Here's to a new family tradition!
