Congratulations to the UNLV Dental School class of 2012! Their white coat ceremony was last Monday night. It's mainly a symbolic ceremony marking the transition from being studying dental students to practicing dental students. They will get to see their own patients within the next semester, or two I guess.
We were very lucky that Nick's mom and step-dad were able to come to this, and spend the rest of the week with us!
As his white coat was put on him and he walked off stage, the image of him becoming a professional, a doctor of dentistry, became more of a reality for me. And he looked like one!
Nick with two of the biggest supporters he could ever have! We sure love them!
Today we had some playtime at the park with grandma, grandpa, and cousins' Jackson and Savanna.
Owen has a little Dora kite we've been waiting to fly. Today was definitely windy enough! This is the only shot of it. I was moving as fast as I could to get my camera to get a closer one, but by the time I did, Owen was done and ran up the big hill.

Some friends went bowling last week and we couldn't make it, so ever since then Owen has been begging us to take him bowling. He was so excited when grandma and grandpa agreed to take us! I was really sad when I realized I forgot my camera. Owen would not let anyone help him. He had to pick up the big heavy ball, by himself, and roll is down the lane on his own, usually only hitting 1 or 2 pins. But he was so happy about it! He keeps asking when he can "play bowling" again. We'll have to go more often.
