The Beauty of the Earth- Canyonlands

Overlooking Canyonlands
We hiked up this trail to an Arch, this is what it looked like from behind us.

Jeff and his Black Hat

D. Jeffery graduated from SUU with his Masters of Accounting on Saturday.  It was wonderful to see Jeff sporting his black robe and grad hat and then his Masters hood.  We sure enjoyed the weekend with Jeff and Sarah and Eli.  Once again they brought cold and snowy weather with them- but we still had a great time.

Jeff walking in with all his pomp and circumstances!
THE EXCITING MOMENT
receiving the "Hood"... 
Congratulations!
Shaking hands with the PRESIDENT!
Leaving SUU behind and moving forward!  
"Good Job Dad!"  Eli gave Jeff a big hug after graduation.
The family!
Eli wants to try on the hat!
True to the Excell tradition a younger person puts on the graduation hat, and now when Eli graduates, Jeff will wear his hat!  The roles will be reversed!  GET IT?  It is awesome.  
The Happy Family

"Okay Mom, enough of this...get this hat off me!"

A proud Wife, Dad, Mom and Brother! 
Good-bye SUU
