Graduation

we went to graduation for this wonderful lady today. J didn't much care for the actual graduation ceremony, and I have to admit, I don't remember my graduation feeling that long. But it was great to be able to get out and support Miss R. :) 

Heading home

J  loved getting to run around with Rachel over the last few days while they were visiting. He's going to miss having them all around.

Mealtime Conversations

My Funny Niece

She refused all day to let me take her picture (she was wearing a really cute dress, so its a shame), so I got this one of her while she was singing along to veggie tales :)

Uno hand

My parents got a new game of Uno while on vacation this year.  This was the first hand I got dealt.  I wish we had been playing stackable draws, I could have done quite well.
