Go Cougs!

I can't believe it. Chase graduated from COLLEGE! Not to sound all sappy and old, but I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. Lauren and I sat in the waiting room with my Gramma, playing magnetic checkers and making guesses about what time she would arrive, while we waited for dad to come out and share the exciting news. Now she is a college graduate!

Three weeks ago Bob and I packed Addison into the car on a rainy Friday afternoon and made our way over the pass to Pullman. What should be an easy 4.5-5 hour drive was a lovely 7 hour adventure. The pass was snowy, traffic was yucky and Addison was not a huge fan of being in the car for the first 3 hours. Lauren and Jess had an even more harrowing car ride - at least we only had one pass to deal with.

Graduation day! Apparently "Go Cougs" was the theme of graduation - well that and several mentions of the Cougars beating the Huskies in the Apple Cup this year :) It was so fun seeing Chasie walk across the stage to get her diploma. We had quite the cheering squad for her.

 

Chasie on the jumbotron!

 



Such a clever little one ;) Nice work Chasie!

After graduation we headed up to the golf course for lunch and a photo shoot. It was FREEZING so our pictures were a brief affair.

Bob being "artistic." Personally, I think this looks like an abandoned baby in a field, but that's just me ;)

All smiles after graduation

Chasie planned a great graduation BBQ at her apartment. Robie made delicious food, class notes were burned in the fire pit and a bit too much Fireball was consumed.

Time to party!

Love the silly faces :)

Addison was quite the party animal! She slept in the Ergo for hours.

 

Chasie bug, we are so proud of you! We cannot wait to see what's in store for you as you venture out into the "real world." Fingers crossed that world starts in Seattle with an internship. We would LOVE to have you as a roommate :)
