Graduation Day...

Yesterday was Family Day at MCRD and today was Graduation Day.  Here is Gigi & Payton waiting for the ceremony to start.

See Cody?  He is third in from the left.  It was amazing to watch them walk all in unison.

Presley and Payton having a great time.  They were so good sitting through the whole ceremony.

Brothers - Cody and Geoffrey

VERY proud parents!

Cody and his recruiting officer.  He came down for his graduation.

What an amazing day...

By the way... I feel very pregnant today...

MCRD Family Day

Payton started off our morning, with a busy phone call and notes:

 Then we surprised my mom with Jeannine (my sister) flying in for Cody's graduation.

We pulled it off!

Here is Cody's Platoon:  3rd Batt. Kilo Co. 3235.

 His momma got the first hug.

 We are so proud of him!

 Looking more like his Daddy!

 Savanna (my niece) and Payton.

So handsome!

 Savanna & Cody.

 Kenzi (my niece) and Payton.

Such a man now.

 

Even his walk is different.

With Aunti J!

 Cody in his "blues".

Trying to talk to Chris and Dylan on the phone.  They were so bummed that they couldn't be here - but they are SO proud of him!

 My mom, my sisters, & me!

On a Jet Plane...

Payton and I left on a jet plane today for California...

Both of our flights were uneventful - which is always great.

My dad and mom picked us up when we landed and we stopped at "Unc" and "Auntie D's" house to say hi.  They had gotten us DEL TACO!  WOOT WOOT!

 

It was exactly as I remember it. Chris - are you jealous?  (Don't worry, I will bring some home with me!)

Payton got some snuggling time in with Auntie.

Have fun with Kenzi!

We are so excited to be able to hug on family and go to Cody's (my nephew) graduation from boot camp and Aunti D's graduation from nursing school!!!
