Way to go, Matt and Mark !!

Tish is a proud parent of two college graduates, her boys Matt and Mark. This past Saturday she hosted a celebration party in their honor. Tish went all out and thought of everything. It was a grand-joyous party ... tons of food, mariachi for entertainment, roomful of family picture collage, and a gigantic bouncer slide! No one at that party was found bored! Of course I forgot my camera and have not one picture, so here are pictures of the graduates with their mama that I have on hand.

Congratulations Matt and Mark! Your Uncle Dave and I are very proud of you!!

We love you!!!

Matthew: B.S. in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from UC Davis

Mark: B.S. in English from UC Berkeley

BFFs and Congrats Hill !

Gloria is in Cali for a few days and we got a chance to get together. The 3 amigos met for lunch at Olive Garden. This visit we had a nice treat; Glo's niece, Rachel, joined us. As usual we had much to talk about but not enough time ... even though we were there for 4.5hrs! We got to talking about high school memories and things to do out of boredom and I think we scared Rachel a bit. Wild and crazy gals we use to be and can be. OK, mostly Glo and Peb ... I was a bit dull ... though I had my moments. Anyways, it's always a time well spent when I'm around my BFFs. Oh, Glo brought gifts for my munchkins and so when I went to pick them up they were thrilled to open their surprise. Thanks Aunt Gloria!!

P.S. We missed you Hillary (Glo's daughter) but I suppose being in Disneyland with a couple of your best buds is better than hanging out with old fogies! Congratulations on graduating high school and getting into Portland State University! Yeay!!!
