Garden Progress

This year we decided to start a garden for the very first time.

It is doing so well and we are really loving it!

San Francisco & Muir Woods

Fisherman's Wharf in San Fran was tons of fun!  When Jeremy saw this tie down anchor Jeremy stops and says, "TAKE MY PICTURE!"  Not quite sure why he was so excited about it or why he wanted to spread his legs into the space but he did.

There were some awesome break dancers down near the pier.  We all loved watching them.  
Muir Woods-

Cousin Katelyn, Spencer, Riley and Jeremy

On our way down to California for our family reunion, we stopped in Ashland, OR to camp for the night.  They had this great park too.  The boys loved climbing on that thing.

this is my favorite part.  I don't know if you you can see Tyler's face on the uploaded version of this video, but try, it's worth it!  He kept telling us the fire was HOT-ot-ot-ot!  He is so darling!  We all had a lot of fun camping that night!

Boys first Fishing Trip

Jeremy caught 3 fish!

Riley caught one but he was more interested in finding the salamanders.

Never mind Jeremy obviously needs to go potty!

Have you ever seen a white peacock or maybe its albino?  Not sure!

It's official

After 4 years of undergrad and 4 grueling years of dental school,

Dr. Lane Cook

Lane's parents came down for the graduation.  You can just see how proud they are.  Lane graduated with clinical honors and he was the only student in his class to graduate with high honors!  Wooohooo!  

Now Lane is going to kill me for posting the rest but I'm going to do it at his brother Vaughn's request.  He really wanted to know about the awards that Lane got as well as several of his other siblings.  He asked me to post them on my blog so he could read about them.  Since he didn't get to make it I am going to fulfill his request.  For the rest of you all go ahead and skip it.
