Graduation Pictures

I have created 2 photo sets from this last weekend. First is a set of graduation pictures. The ceremony was at noon on Saturday. Robin and family were already at the University so LaRue and I joined up with Gary and Liz and went to the campus.

The graduation was really nice. It ran a little over an hour. Afterwards we all met outside to do pictures and visit. Then it was back to Robin's house to change and eat.

We all went to the Sizzler and had a really nice meal. Then Robin opened a present from Andy. Andy wasn't able to attend and he sent some things with Liz. He gave Robin a DVD of the movie - Where the Toys Come From. We had a copy of a videotape of this movie when the boys were little and Robin watched it hundreds of times. So, he really liked getting his own DVD.

Here are the graduation pictures: Robin's Graduation

When the boys Grandpa Hansen died the only thing he mentioned in his will was that his rifles be given to his grandsons. So, for several years LaRue and I have kept the guns for when the boys could take them. One of the rifles Robin got is a 30-06 that his grandfather used to hunt deer. It's probably been at least 20 years since Paul Hansen hunted with it.

Robin took the rifle and had it cleaned and made ready to use again. Saturday afternoon Robin, LaRue, Gary, Liz, Brighton and I drove outside Logan to a shooting range. And Robin fired his grandpa's rifle for the first time. It was awesome. Then LaRue got a chance to shoot it.

He also had Emily's handgun and let LaRue and I shoot that. It was really quite fun.

So, here's some shooting pictures: At the shooting range

Robin's Graduation

Just a quick entry right now. I am processing the pictures and will have images with more information posted this evening or tomorrow.

Last Saturday LaRue and I got up at 4:00 AM and journeyed to Logan for Robin's graduation. It was quite fun. We all went out to eat afterward followed by another event which I will detail when I get the pictures ready.

Saturday evening Robin, Emily, LaRue and I went to Ironman. It was awesome. However, because of the crowd we ended up sitting about 3 rows from the front. At that range it was a little hard to actually see all the screen at once. So, LaRue and I will probably go see it again and sit a bit farther back.

*Ironman note* - be sure to stay all the way through the credits for an additional scene at the very end.

What We did Today

Since LaRue had no school today and I was off work - we slept in!

Once we got up and motivated, we went up to school to start moving things. LaRue not only has to change classrooms for next year, she has to change grades! So we went to get an early start moving some things and doing a little organizing. It was going pretty well until I went to get some stuff out of the car and wrenched my back.

So, it was break time. We decided to try lunch at the new Chinese Buffet here in town. It was pretty good. After that LaRue went back to school to finish up.

Now it's home again and hoping there's something worth watching on tv.

BYU TV - First Look

Andy was on the BYU TV program First Look last night. First Look is a program where BYU media arts & animation students share insights as emerging filmmakers. Documentaries, animation shorts and more are featured. They did several segments with filmmakers. Andy's interview was the first and then they showed one of his shorts films.

I know that BYU TV keeps their programming available for two weeks for online viewing. You do have to install their streaming software. Here's a link to their streaming service - BYU TV
