He GradgEEated!

Mark had his graduation this past weekend! It's very exciting! Here are some pictures!

A three day "Ironman"... for your Brain!!

Well, he did it! Mark has survived writing the 2011 Uniform Evaluation (UFE)! YAHOOO!!! We hope he "hit it out of the park"!

It seems as though the last five years has been leading up to to these past few days and now it is all done!(pheww!)

I can't explain the relief I heard in his voice once speaking to him when it was finally over. He exaplained that it was "very tough" but he feels "he gave it all he had". He has been working so hard studying and preparing for this exam and I know he has done everything in his power to be prepared! I am so proud of him! I feel like this test has stretched him farther than I've ever seen. It has not only tested his accounting/business knowledge- it has tested his confidence, his motivation, his work-ethic, his ability to balance his home-life, his time management, etc, etc. I even feel like it tested him physically... there were days he would push so hard, he would come home physically ill because he was so excerted mentally.( it's kind of hard to explain.)

All I know is I'm glad it's done for him. I'm proud of his efforts. Thank you to everyone in the family for your prayers and chearleading... he really appreciated and needed it!

Now we just wait till December! (that shouldn't feel long at all... kidding)

As far as I'm concerned.... He's a great "Mark"!

( I know... totally dumb and cheesy ending, but I just couldn't pass it up!)

Summer don't go! (a picture update)

CUTE... that is all i need to say.

The simple joys of a kiddie pool! It never gets boring.... and josh loved it too!

One of our favorite places this summer was the Legislature. We loved to go play in the water and play with a soccer ball on the grass. We will miss this for sure!

A night at the batting cages for Mark to blow off some "studying stress steam".(try saying that three times fast). If the whole "accounting" thing doesn't work out he can always go out for professional baseball. (kidding)

Quading out at Wizard lake! Josh loved it!

Sometimes we would go meet Mark on his lunch break and help make for a good study break! daddy is da coolest!
