Jake's Graduation!

My sweetums graduated from the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering at ASU in December 2010! What an accomplishment! I am so proud of all of Jake's hard work. He not only worked hard in school, but also received a [paid] internship position with the City of Mesa for his final semester. So he was busy busy busy. What a relief to have that under his belt. Masters anyone? We'll see... After Jake's graduation we had a little shindig at my parents' house with lots of yummy food and fun conversation. Most of Jake's family was in town for his little brother Jason's wedding, so it was fun to have the whole gang there. ConGRADulations Jake!
My good friend Andrea made the awesome announcements for Jake's big day. Thanks Andrea!
Typical Jake keeping things light
The proud family all decked out in Sun Devil gear
Mr. Ira A. Fulton himself. His speech was really sweet and funny. Talked a lot about his wife. He reminded me of how an apostle would talk. His religion was showing through :)
All the graduating engineers
Ty was so proud of his daddy!
Jake had the "privilege" of sitting right next to the obnoxious construction engineers. They were so loud and thought their hats made them the bomb dot com. But you have to admit, their hats ARE pretty fun. Ty kept calling them Bob the Builder hats.
Jake with his good friend Nathan Merrill. They had a bunch of classes together and saw each other through to the end!
Following in Daddy's footsteps!
Jake and his proud parents. All of their sons are very educated and successful. So far the occupations of their sons are: police officer/detective, orthopedic surgeon, successful business man, lawyer, and now they can add to their list an engineer!
The whole gang!
I love my family!
Ty warming up to Uncle Sam. He loves him!
