Jack and Maraika

While visiting Bu's house this weekend, Maraika found a game for Jack that made him nearly die of laughter.  There's always fun to be had at Grandma's house.

HOORAY FOR MY FAVORITE HEART SURGEON!

Neal finished.  He really, actually did.  No. More. Training. 
The graduation ceremony was last week, in a nice atrium at the hospital.  Afterward we walked around the hospital a bit, said goodbye to a couple people.  He took us to the observation dome so the kids could see an OR.  There was actually a case going on so we even got to see surgery.  Bonus.  It was a great evening.

We're so proud of him!

 



The atrium gives a nice view of the Medical Center.

 



 Instead of carrying his coats, the kids wore them home.  Everyone in the hospital thought they looked great.

 

For you Mom, here's Neal with Dr. Cooley.

Murray Memorial Day

Murray's went to Utah on Memorial Day weekend and had the traditional bike ride.  This time we rode the Jordan River Trail, which was beautiful!  This was Gabe and Jack's first bike ride and we had to stop often to keep them comfortable.

After the ride we went to Brown's where Marcelle fed everyone.  Some people played games, some swam, and the mom's napped!  Wonderful times with family.

Matty the Champion

Hey Fam - we attended Mattey's volleyball game Saturday night which just happened to be the Mountain Pacific championship.  I loved it!  And they won!  Here are a few pix for all to enjoy and a few video's (if I can load them).  OK, I couldn't get them to load.  I'll just do the pix and ask Sting to help me.  Way to go Mattey and team!

What a group of winners!

Mattey is in charge of all high five body jumps - I

don't know what else to call them.  He's #11.

That's our man - #11 again.  He's instructing

the rest of the team!

Winning point for  championship!
