Matt and Jana in Equador

The waterfalls are gorgeous in Equador!

The seals are friendly on the Galapagos Islands.
Another beautiful beach on the Galapagos Islands.
Horseback riding is amazing on the islands.
Can you believe all the iguanas?

Matt and Jana will be spending about a month doing service in Equador and vacationing for a week on the Galapagos Islands. Many animals can be seen on the beautiful beaches. After their vacation they will be doing volunteer work at a local hospital in Equador.

A Tour of the Campus

This is the place!
The girls loved the pretty waterfall at the Arizona Center.

We walked all over the campus.

Mattie had a blast!

They decided to go to the U of A College of Medicine - Phoenix in partnership with ASU. We are excited they will still be close to us. The hospital that Jana works at is just minutes away.

Across the street from the college it is very pretty.
This is the old Phoenix Union High School where Tom's dad went to high school many years ago.
The girls adore their Uncle Matt
Leaving the campus after a fun morning of exporing!

Visiting the Animal Park!

Visiting Mike, Emily and Sadie!

We all had fun at a park with Mike during his lunch break!
I took this picture on a walk when we saw the rabbit in the background!

We went to a fabulous animal park that was so much fun!


Feeding the giraffes!


We all had fun picking yummy strawberries at a strawberry patch!
Thanks Mike and Emily for the wonderful stay with you! We had an amazing time and we can't wait to see you again soon!

Evan and Jacob come to visit!

The girls love to spend time with Evan and Jacob. They had a blast when Uncle Evan pulled them all around the yard in the wagon. Marisol, Evan and the boys are in Mexico this month visiting with Marisol's parents and all their cousins, Aunts and Uncles. It will be fun to see them soon!

Matt graduates from ASU!

Matt and Jana at Matt's graduation last week!
We arrived early that afternoon!

It was a warm, sunny afternoon!

We had great seats in the shade when Tom and LeGrand arrived.
We also had a blast with Jana's mom.
There was a spectacular turn out for the graduation!

We all got a glimpse of President Obama.

President Obama gave an inspirational speech!

Six hours later we were leaving the stadium. Congratulations Matt! We have had quite a few graduates in our family from ASU. My grandmother graduated from ASU when it was Tempe Normal School for teachers and my dad went to ASU when it was Arizona State College. I recieved my degree from ASU when Matt was two years old. We are so proud of Matt and are looking forward to seeing where he decides to go to Medical school. Congratulations!
