Master + Disaster

He did it! He's a Master!!! We are super proud of Ryan and so glad he is DONE (at least for a while :) Also, he just had his 5th patent issue...good times.

Here is Ryan at his graduation.
Materials Science and Engineering.

The boys in there ASU stuff. So proud of dad
So that was a HUGE day for Ryan. So why were Olivia and I not there???

I was in the ER with Olivia. She fell off the monkey bars at school and broke her wrist. Poor girl. She was so brave, I know it was hurting, but she never complained, even during the x-rays. This happened the day before her gymnastics show, if you know Olivia, you'll know that is the saddest news ever to miss out on any bit of gymnastics. So sad.
When Olivia was released, we hurried over to ASU to try to catch the end of graduation, but when we got there, they were walking out.
Here we are all together. Olivia and I didn't have time to go change into our ASU stuff, so we'll have to fabricate the moment again, so I can get a picture the way I wanted it.

Thankfully Ryan's mom and dad came down to see the graduation. They took the big boys with them, so Ryan did have some fans to cheer for him there. Thanks Aunt Lori for rushing over and watching the kiddos for us so we could go to the hospital! Love ya, and we owe you big time!!!

Congrats! That is HUUUUUUGE! There were times I seriously wondered if Brett and I would make it through his masters program. Such a bummer you couldn't be there, even bigger bummer Olivia was hurting. Glad it's all behind you--school, graduation, and hospital visit!

What a great Christmas gift to each other!!!! :)
