Today we spent the day celebrating Mr. Stannix and all of his hard work and effort over these last five years. Going to school and taking care of a family definitely isn't an easy feat. I am so proud of him for all he has accomplished! The day started out rainy and wet, but we decided to brave the weather and shoot some pictures early in the morning with the family. The rain cleared up and the sun even came out for a little bit. It was fun to tour around the campus and see the building where Mr. Stannix took most of his classes. A big shout out to my sister for being our photographer for the morning!
Our family, Mom Stannix, Sister Faith
Our little family of soon to be five!
Not only a graduate, but a proud Daddy!
Hyrum wasn't a fan of the cap at first.
Mr. Stannix and his Mom.
It's been a long couple of years, but worth every second! So glad I get to work side by side with this guy every day! Couldn't have asked for anyone better!
So happy together!
This picture totally melts my heart.
By the end of the morning Camilla's dress was so wet from puddle jumping that I literally could ring the water out of it. She was pretty cold by the time we got back to the car. I picked her up a pack of smarties to give her an extra boost.
After we all loaded up in the car we went out for lunch at Red Robins. Mr. Stannix was shocked when I ordered something other than a normal cheese burger, it was still a burger though! We had an enjoyable time together celebrating!
When we got home we changed the kiddos out of their dress clothes and into something warm. Hyrum had a bottle and happily went down for a nap. We had someone awesome volunteer to watch our kiddos for the afternoon while we went to the ceremony. It was nice not having to worry about them for the afternoon.
The ceremony was excellent. After watching 600 grads go on stage I knew there was no way our kids would have sat through it! When it was finished we made our way through the crowd and finally found Mr. Stannix so we could snap a couple final pictures. Being the thoughtful guy that he is, he asked if I would wear his cap for a picture. He knew that this could have been me had we not decided that starting our family was more important at the time. I have never regretted that decision and would never change my job as a mother for anything.

CONGRATS Stannix family! A lot of hard work but gosh so worth it!!! I love the pics, especially the last one of you guys. Aren't you glad to have the HG to help guide you in life choices?! Hugs!
Congratulations to Mike and you too Addie, what an exciting accomplishment. I love all of the pictures.. but especially love the last one of the two of you celebrating baby number 3. Your joyful faces made my day! You two love birds are a great example. I am so glad we can share pregnancies and baby milestones together.
Congratulations!! You both must feel so proud of what you've been able to accomplish in the last 4 years!
BTW, I think it's hilarious that you always order a burger when you you eat out :)
