Graduation

We had the BEST weekend! It was crazy and busy, but it was totally worth it! Ben's parents and sister came in town, and my parents and siblings came in town as well. Here are some highlights of our weekend. This wasn't everything, but it's what I caught on camera! You can click on the photos to make them bigger.

Before Graduation

Graduation - Hooding of the Graduates (Officially a Doctor now!!!...Ben says you can refer to him as Dr. Schramm Now! :)....)

After Graduation...Look how happy we all are! Thanks for all the family & friends that came and supported us!

Graduation BBQ....Yummy Steak! (so I heard...)

This was a very exciting time for us, and we are so glad we could share it with so many of you! We are grateful for all of the friends we have made these last 3 years, and are especially grateful for all of our family who supported us. Thanks to our parents who took time to come out here. And congrats to my sister Jordan, who also graduated from Law School.

This is just one hill we made over....We still have this summer to get through....the BAR....dum de dum dum....

Yay Ben!!!....I LOVE YOU....Charley and I are so proud of you!

Uncle Lloyd

Uncle Lloyd & Aunt Donis came in town this past week (Lloyd is Ben's old boss from GA, but he has become such a good friend of the family that to Charley, he is Uncle Lloyd). Every time Lloyd comes in town he takes a bunch of us to dinner and then the kids to Toys R Us and lets them run around and pick out one toy. The last few times Charley has picked out baby doll things. This last time she picked out a new baby with car seat! We named the baby "Ali"...it was close to the name "Abi"...her friends name, so she liked it and it is easy for her to remember.

So now that her baby has a car seat, baby has to come with us EVERYWHERE! I just took a quick picture with my phone of new baby Ali, and her car seat. Thank you Uncle Lloyd, Charley LOVES her new baby!

Biker Babe!

Happy Birthday Carlos

My younger brother turned 26 today! Happy Birthday Carlos! Charley had so much fun helping/eating the cake we made for him. She mostly tried to eat the pudding, frosting and cake....Everything takes so much longer when she helps, but it is also so much more fun, and challenging!

Happy Birthday Carlos!

Easter 2009

The Count Down!

Ben graduates from Law school in 16 days! Ben may not be as excited about it as Charley and I are, but we are ready for him to be done! My dad told me that when he was in law school, my mom made a count down chain for his graduation. And we were talking to Ben's parents the other day and they had suggested it as well. So today Charley and I made our own little count down chain! We marked the date on each chain and also wrote on the links the days that grandparents were coming.

Spaghetti & Meatballs

Yummy....

So if you couldn't tell by looking at the pictures we have cupcakes covered in noodles (or frosting), with meatballs (chocolate Easter Eggs with Fudge in the middle ... no one had balls b/c of Easter.) and Sauce (Cherry pie filling that we put in the food processor). Charley and I spent a few hours in the kitchen making this yummy meal for dinner! We set it on the table for dinner, got a few looks when we took it out of the fridge (that was our first mistake), but ended up taking our real dinner out of the oven. And we had spaghetti and meatball cupcakes for dessert!

That was the best Charley and I could do for April Fools! We made a plate for us, and Charley wanted to make a plate for Abi and her family too.
