Griffin's are in Town!

You know when the Griffin's are in town, we're in for non stop quality family bonding.  Rusty earned his Masters Degree from Utah State and came to walk in the ceremony.  Jimmy and Claire made the trek from Chicago to support Rusty and visit Utah for the first time.

There's not much cuter than these three reunited.  My boys had quite the cheering section this week at all their games.  They love playing for their awesome fans.

Rick surprised us at the luncheon before the ceremony!  We couldn't be more proud of Rusty and all he's been able to accomplish.

A fun night out on the town was in order.  We ate at a cool new spot called Lake Effect.  The food was incredible, the drinks were flowing. and the music was blasting.  Jenni's friend Jeremy fit right in with our craziness.

These sisters in law of mine can't be beat.  Way too much fun in the bathroom.  It was such a great night!

Cole loved watching Sam play soccer the following day.  We had a pretty epic BBQ at our house that night. 

This game of spike ball got much more serious the second the shirts came off.

Jimmy on the tramp makes me laugh.  He transported 30 homemade sausages from Chicago just for this party and boy were they delicious.

Jenni's birthday absolutely fell on the right day.  The highlight for me was when Randy, Rick, and Rusty bleached Dyson's hair.  There's nothing like watching the masters in action.

You know it's a good night when the leatherman's jackets come out. Cavemen til we die!  As the party ended around midnight there were tears shed by all.  It's not too often that we all get together like this.  When we do, it's very special.  We are so incredibly lucky to have such an awesome family who loves to spend time together.  I love that everyone looks forward to our BBQ's.  It's so fun to see Randy so happy when his bros are here.  I wish they lived closer.
