A BIG day for my man...

Happy Graduation to Marty!


Marty getting his MASTERS DEGREE from the University of Phoenix! He was awarded a Masters in Education with an emphasis in Curriculum Technology and Instruction.

After the ceremony, Marty came out to greet the family! He immediately took off his purple sash and wrapped it around our little family. Tradition says that upon graduation the graduate gives his sash to a person who has significantly impacted their efforts in education. He wanted to let us know that he did this for us and he said we were his constant support and inspiration. Awwww!


Nyah had to try on his cap!



Ethan did his famous "snap dance" in celebration of his Daddy!

Some of Marty's siblings came to cheer him on.

Marty was the FIRST to obtain a Masters Degree in both of our families. Here he is with his Mom and my Dad.


The twins played hide n' seek with Daddy after the ceremony.


We made a little gift for Marty to celebrate this awesome day! Some of his favorites!
