Tab's Big Day!!!

Saturday Tabitha graduated with her CLS degree from ISU. She opted not to walk and instead we all went out to Tucanos to celebrate. I forgot my camera so you will have to go to Terriebeth's blog http://www.tb-n-j.blogspot.com/to see the fun filled time we had there. I highly recommend it to all...even though I don't eat meat. I thought it was pretty good.

Tabitha Professor threw a little party for her students, so after Tucanos we headed over there. Unfortunately Terriebeth got sick (it had been going around the family), and they did not make the party...but no fear I had the camera this time and you will be surprised by what you see!!

Oh my goodness what are they drinking...and even giving some to Ethan!!! What is up with that!! I was shocked!!! Ok don't worry to much it was just Henry Weinhard's root beer and Huckleberry Soda!! I had the water...but Tim grab what he thought was water and imagine my surprise when it had flavor...strawberry kiwi!!

Here is Tab with her boys!

Nibbling a little but we are all still full from lunch.

Family picture minus the Spratts

Now one with mom!!

From that fun party we headed to Cold Stone...Ethan thought we needed to end the night with ice cream!!

Tab and her two boys

Let's take a bite at the same time...Ha,ha,ha Crazy ones!

Brother and Sister...I thought we were taking a bite at the same time....

TJ , Hollie and Tab!! Tabitha you were suppose to kiss him!! Ha,ha,ha

The fam enjoying their ice-cream!!!

Once we left there the boys thought we needed to go see the fountain

Green Water ...now that is cool!!!

After this we went back to the car...and imagine our surprise once we step off the elevator... (Ethan wanted to park on the top of the parking garage..yikes)... we smell pot!!!
What a way to end the night!!!

Congrats Tab we are proud of you!!!

Now get back to studying...yes she has finals after graduation!!! What a funny way to do it!!

Beta Gamma Sigma

To all who do not know, Tim is graduating this year!!! Yahoo!!! He also is now an official Beta Gamma Sigma member and a Phi Kappa Phi member. On Wednesday night we went to the Beta Gamma Sigma Induction Ceremony. Governor Otter was the key note speaker. Every one was taking pictures of him with real camera's and cell phones....so I sat there for a while thinking why, mouth to Terriebeth, why is everyone taking his picture...she just laughed at me....so I figured I would take it also...then if Tim didn't want it I could delete it! 1) I never asked Tim 2) Governor Otter speech was not to bad ;o) 3) The third wants to know why the man never fed his bird. Part of the speech. Tatem playing with the camera...ouch I hit my head with the camera!! Ha,ha,ha!

Tim listening to the speech, are his eyes closed????

Tim getting his certificate from Governor Otter. They were taking picture of each one and Tim was thinking "Keep your eyes open" Ha,ha,ha

Getting his pin from ....sorry I don't know the name and what he does...he is a professor I believe and I can't find the program to get it right.

Getting his honor cords....once again I don't know who this is...but it is a professor I'm sure ;o)
