Dexter's Graduation

I can hardly believe that Dexter graduated. He is the youngest of Alex's brothers and I feel old. His brothers have grown up so fast and now Dexter will be off to school and out of the house this fall. Crazy how fast time flies. Here are some pictures from his graduation weekend. Congratulations Dexter!

All the brothers: Dean, Alex, Dexter, Damon and Dallon.

Scot and Dex.

The boys went out shooting and Delson wanted to go with them, so Dexter got him a rubber-band gun and some ear protection and he went out to "shoot" with them. Delson is ALL boy. Gotta love him!

Memorial Day Weekend

Sorry this post is so late. I have really been procrastinating the blogging thing, but it is time.

For Memorial Day weekend, we drove out to Mattawa to visit Alex's cousin Sharee who was in town for a few days. It was so GREAT to see her and her 2 kiddos. Case is about 5 months older than Delson and they played great together. It was fun to see them push each other around and take care of themselves just fine. We haven't seen each other in so long, Sharee hadn't even met Kambria and I hadn't met her newest addition, Miles, either....so it was really fun to get together after such a long time. We played quite a bit at Alex's Uncle Neil and Aunt Becky's house and then we even kind of had a mini family reunion. A whole bunch of family and kids came and we had a yummy BBQ and the kids LOVED playing in the awesome pool Neil and Becky set up. It was a TON of fun and we really miss Sharee, Case and Miles already. We hope that Bryce can come with them to visit next time because we really miss him too.

The amazing pool!

The boys were having a ton of fun in the pool before it even had water in it. They are silly.

The whole gang: Braden and Darcy are on the left, Case, Delson and Kambria are in the pool.

Kambria, Case and Darcy having fun!

Delson loved climbing the wall.

Braden wasn't a huge fan of the pool. He and Kambria prefered to drive around in this cute 4-wheeler for the kids.

A Few New Things

After buying a house, having children and finishing our backyard over the last 3 years, we finally had a chance this year to add some new decor to our house. With our tax return this year, we decided to spend our money on a new Plasma TV. Because Alex mounted it to the wall, the kids can no longer touch it and it is the best thing ever. No more constantly yelling at them not to touch it and no more cleaning their finger prints off of it. Also, because it is plasma, it is 3D ready and the TV came with 2 pairs of 3D glasses and we are thoroughly enjoying it. We also bought a new entertainment center that better hides the cords from the kids and I purchased a hutch to replace the buffet we had in the kitchen. I needed a place to display some of my nice dishes as well as make more room in the kitchen for other things. The entertainment center and hutch are from IKEA. Gotta LOVE that place!!! Also, Alex and I have planted roses in our front yard and dahlias and gladiolas in our back yard. The roses have been blooming beautifully and the dahlias and gladiolas are just starting to pop up and I am SUPER excited about my flower garden.
