Graduation Day!

I'm a little late posting these! Here are the pics from Michael's graduation day!



There is no way to see Michael in this pic. He is in the very back of the row to the left of the Drill Instructor who has his back to us front and center.

My Brother the Marine!

My mom, dad, and SIL Jessica are in San Diego to watch my little brother Michael graduate and offically become a Marine today! I am so proud of him and wish I could be there, but since I can't, my mom has been e-mailing me some pics. These are from yesterday, which was Family Day. Today is his Graduation ceremony and I will be posting pics of that tomorrow! By the way, you can click on the pictures to make them larger...you will have to to find him in a couple of them.

Mylee's 1st Birthday Party

We had such a fun Birthday Week with Mylee. Reagon and Kendall came over on New Year's Eve/Mylee's birthday to celebrate and stay a few days here. I got this pic of the girls as soon as they got here. We sure do have four beautiful girls!


Saturday we had Mylee's party with our families. We kept it small, and had a great night of cake, presents, hot dogs and chili, a bunch of visiting, and of course football.

Mylee with her Mimi. She took a while to warm up to all the people that came over at once. Brooke kept asking me if she was okay because she is usually so smiley! She got happy fast!

This is when we were singing Happy Birthday to Mylee. As much as she demands attention she did not like this a whole lot. Look at her face. That was her expression the entire time we were singing! LOL

Still singing.......

Finally she just buried her cheek in her shoulder until we got done. Poor sweetie :)

Cake time!
She got happy fast! She dug right in and started throwing icing.

Opening presents!
