And still more cute pics!

Thanks to Katie, Tara and Jen, we got the idea to buy a chair his size for his birthday! We ended up getting this before his birthday party and then Laura made him one that goes perfectly with his bedding in his room so now he has two - what a lucky little boy!!

More Pics of Graduation on Saturday!

Ron's Graduation

Finally!!! It's here!! Ron has officially graduated from Bradley University with his Master's in Nurse Administered Anesthesia. That's right, he's a Nurse Anesthetist. Well, actually, he won't be one until he passes his certification test sometime in June! We are pretty excited about it! I hope he doesn't get too stressed though. We went to his DMH graduation on Friday night and then headed up to Peoria on Saturday for his hooding ceremony. I surprised Big Ron by buying Lil' Ron a suit that matched his on Friday night. Everyone commented on how they had never seen a suit that small. Raisa, my youngest sister, even had someone ask to take a picture of him on Saturday. Who knows? His picture might pop up on tv sometime :) Even though it was a long weekend, we had a blast. By the end of the night, Lil Ron was just plain tired. He loves attention (sort of like someone else we know!). His Aunt Raisa watched him Saturday night while Ron and I went out for a night on the town. Lil' Ron is happy to say that she did an excellent job and now Aunt Rai-Rai loves Elmo's World! On Sunday we stopped in Morton to visit one of Ron's old wrestling buddies. Glover (real name is Tim but that's what Ron calls him) built and owns a wrestling school in Morton so we went and checked it out. We also met up with his wife Caysey and son Graham (3 1/2 yrs. old). We had a ton of fun with them and can't wait to spend more time with them!

Big Boy's Birthday Bash!

Yep, that's right. Little Ron is officially one! We had a great time at his birthday party! He loves other little kids so he chased them around the entire time! We had family and friends over for his birthday party and fun was had by all. Although our little one is still small, we had his 12 month check up last week, he is still on target developmentally. He has now moved up to the 10% percentile in height and 25% still in head circumference. He is super close to the 5% percentile in weight though. I am seriously thinking of a track future ahead of him :) So this post goes out to all those who sent cards, gave gifts and/or came to the party! By the way, if you are interested in the chair that his Aunt Laura made, let me know and we can hook you up! She is super creative!
