Trampoline fun

June 8, 2009. We had Meg, Cora, and Ruby over to play. The girls loved jumping. Ruby took to it like a fish to water. They had so much fun we'll have to do it again sometime.

Wes' Graduation

I've been meaning to post for a while but I didn't feel like uploading all my pictures.

Wes graduated May 29, 2009. It was interesting. They had a golf tournament earlier in the day. Evidently most people were drunk before that got over. They had a dinner and then the "ceremony". The director of the program was drunk and so was one of the graduates that was speaking. It was different. I have never been around a bunch of drunks... Anyway...

We are very excited that Wes is done with school. He can't take his journeyman test until the end of August. So far out of Wes' class only 4 out of 10 people have passed the test. So.... Wes will have to study before he takes it. : )

Wes, Cutler, and Wendy

Graduating class.

Sorry the pictures aren't very good. I had a hard time figuring out what setting to use on my camera because of the lighting.

Newest Family Pictures

Kudos to Jamie for taking awesome pictures. She took our family pictures and then some of the kids (well mostly Shalon). I thought they were so cute so I made a collage of them. I had almost 100 to choose from.

Uncle T

Uncle Clinton came out of his way to play with Shalon on his way back to North Dakota. It was so nice of him and Shalon had so much fun playing with him. Thanks Uncle "T".

Wes' new toy

When we got home on Memorial Day we decided we had to do some yard work because it needed done and we are never there. However, the lawn mower needed a new blade so we went to Home Depot. We got that and then some. We came home with this...

and this...

It's a trimmer and a tiller attachment. Kinda cool. So now I get a flower bed and maybe a garden. Depends on how much we are home this summer...

Memorial Weekend Trip- Part 4

May 25th- Mt. Rushmore and Devils Tower

We decided to take a detour on the way home and went back to Mt. Rushmore just to take pictures. We used our parking pass (which is good for a year) and just stayed in the parking lot. It ended up being about an additional 50 miles but we did see the heads. We also stopped by Devils Tower on the way home. We didn't actually drive in but took pictures along the side of the road. We wanted to get home.

(We didn't want to take the time to go in, we just wanted a picture in front of it

but the guy taking the picture couldn't see the screen so we just got the cars.)

Shalon was bored and sick of the car by this time.
