So believe it or not, Taylor graduated from BYU in April.
Tom and I drove down to Provo for the big event and stopped at Shoshone Falls along the way.
Whoa, there is so much water in the Snake River this year, that that waterfall is rocking and rolling. It was beautiful!
We arrived just in time to meet Taylor at his apartment.
He and his roommate, Colton, are dressed up and ready to go.
Colton added the medal and scarf so he could look fancy like Taylor with his Master's hood.
Taylor all ready to March from the Administration building
to the Marriott Center.
I love how BYU has their graduates march in.
It is so inspiring!

Taylor had to rent his graduation robe and it cost $65 so to get his money's worth
he wore it all day and had a photo shoot.
I love his creativity.
Here he is on the big screen marching in!
Commencement was great!
After commencement we met Taylor's roommate and friend since kindergarten and his family
at a delicious barbecue joint in Orem.

On Friday morning at 8 am was Taylor's convocation ceremony and graduation from the Marriott School of Business with his Masters of Accountancy.
Proud Dad!
While everyone waited for the ceremony to begin,
BYU showed pictures the graduates had posted to Instagram with the hashtag #Marriottgrad
Tom instagramed some of Taylor's creative pics and there they were on the jumbotron.
It was pretty fun having them for all to see!
Proud parents!
Taylor and a friend from high school
We had our own photo shoot with places on campus that he frequented!
The Marriott Business school, where he spent a lot of time!
We love this display in the bookstore of BYU intercepting BSU in the football game in 2015
His home away from home, the Harold B Lee library
He also enjoyed studying in the Maiser building
Of course we had to get some pics with the cougar!
Since graduation was so early in the morning,
we had all afternoon to play, so we drove to Alpine and shopped at Traverse Mountain.
Patty and I love this Italian restaurant, Bona Vita.
We shopped and got Taylor some clothes for graduation.
That night we went out to dinner in Payson with Patty and Hal.
There is a really good Indian restaurant in Payson.
Taylor loved the mango lassi.
Patty and Hal are always such gracious hosts.
We love staying with them in their beautiful home!
We left for Boise on Saturday morning and drove through Logan so
I could decorate Mom and Dad's graves.
Logan was beautiful in the spring, with snow in the mountains
and Cache Valley so pretty and green.
We also stopped in Murtaugh, Idaho to see the Cauldron Linn.
Years ago Uncle Ray took us to see it, so since we didn't have Uncle Ray to guide us,
we google mapped it and found it.
Whoa, again, lots of water!
We had a wonderful trip to Utah and back to celebrate Taylor and his accomplishments!
We are so proud of him for his hard work.
He will travel a bit and work this summer
for the company he interned for, Alturas, and study for the CPA exam.
He starts work with Deloitte in San Jose in September.

Blake's brother, Brian works for Deloit in San Jose! Congratulations to Taylor and to his parents!
How proud you must be of Taylor! Didn't Ken work for Deloit and Teusch? What happened to Teusch? Looks like you celebrated in style! Congratulations to all!
Well done Uncle Beans! I wonder why Utah has so many good Indian restaurants?? We can find a single one here. Your waterfall pictures are gorgeous!
Taylor looks so scholarly with his glasses on! What a wonderful accomplishment - you have every right to be proud of your baby!! I love all the pictures at different locations - those will be a treasure as Taylor grows older. That barbeque place does look yummy and our Indian dinner was pretty good too!
Correction: That is a Mitch Matthews between two BSU defenders catching the game winning hail-Mary pass thrown by Tanner Mangum. BYU needs more of those moments.
