The evolution of Travis

Hi. Were you wondering if our cruise burnt down again? Well, no, it didn't burn down it was actually lovely, we've just been busy and a little lazy. I have a lot of catching up to do but thought this one was most important!

This was Travis's being born stage... September 30Th 1977 in Angelos City, Philippines

This was his toothless stage. Can you see the BYU brainwashing beginning?

This was his pouting stage... wonder where Avery gets it

This was his speedo stage. Sad I missed it, just look at those gams.

This was his ball-er stage. It was quite a long stage of his life.

This was when he graduated from high school. This post is not about me, but I do have to add that I was graduating from the 6Th grade at that time.

This was his missionary stage. He went to Argentina. Those kids really loved him. Also, the people thought he was Jim Carey

This was his bachelor stage at BYU. Again, this was quite a long stage of his life. Rumor has it that Travis was a bit of a cuddle slut.

Along with his bachelor stage, another rumor has it that he went through a "not wearing a shirt" stage, kind of sad I missed that one too.

Lots of people wondered if this would ever happen to Travis, but it did. This was his falling in love stage, hopefully he is still in this stage!

Unfortunately the honeymoon stage had to end early, because 5 months later we packed our bags and moved to Kansas City to start medical school.

This was his white coat ceremony (side note: At one point, I accidentally dyed his coat pink... don't worry, I fixed it)

This was his first day of medical school

This was the first day of second year

First day of third year

At this point a lot of stages are going on. Of course his "in love stage" has been on fire the whole time :) along with his medical school stage. Now we introduce the fatherhood stage in Trav's life.I think he likes this stage most of all.

This is his first day of 4Th year, he looks really excited!

Now were getting closer to his present stage, but before that here is his graduating from medical school stage. It was a pretty neat day!

Now is his present stage. He is in his husband, father and now doctor stage. For some reason I get embarrassed to say he is a doctor, because this is who we are talking about.

He started his residency 2 weeks ago. It still feels weird that we are starting this phase. We have a long way to go, and residency is going to be really tough, but we are excited!

Oh and Travis has his own business card...

I may have to make an appointment some days so that I can actually see him!!!

I don't want to get too cocky, because he is still pretty dangerous and could kill some people, but Travis, good job on everything. We have had some crazy times in medical school. Thanks for all of your hard work and for dedicating so much time into learning how to be the best doctor. I know you will be amazing and you will love what you are doing in life! Thanks for finding a good living to support your family... I know one day we will see it!

That would have normally been a good ending to a post, but since I didn't really do a post on his actual graduation, I wanted to just throw in some more pictures of it. 

Enjoy!!!
