Another Before and Afterr

We were looking through some pictures today and came across these. Emily already posted the second one, but I was just amazed seeing it next to the one from last year. Please enjoy another before and after shot...

I'm in love

I got some new sandals, and I'm in love. I love shoes, and I love orange. I couldn't resist.

Another "Business" Trip

Weekend tournament winner 6.5lbs bass

Pain

I went boating with Em and Nyle last weekend. After 57 tries I got up on a wake board. Now every muscle in my body is screaming at me.

Oh, and Charlie ate the babysitter's money.

I Can't Be That Old

We went home to California last week to see our baby sisters graduate high school.

We got to see family of course. Here are most of Brett's siblings and their spouses. We missed you Michelle!

We had to go 2 hours early to graduation to be able to get seats. So 4 hours in the sun on high school bleachers. It was a good thing I had good company and some entertainment. Dax tried on every one's sunglasses.

Finally Graduation started. My brilliant sister was one of 60 or so valedictorians out of a graduating class of 760. I'm so proud of her! It was so cool to see her in that white gown! You can see by the hill behind her why we had to get there early. LOTS of people and limited seating.
Taylor getting her diploma. One of the many times I had to wipe a tear.

Taylor and all of her other smarty pants friends. (normal graduates wore black robes, valedictorians (4.0 GPA) wore white, and I cant remember what the red means, but basically it means a really big smarty pants.)

And THIS is the funniest kid I know. We were shopping and he was getting really upset if we tried on any shoes. Because HE wanted them all.

Our New Chauffeur

Charlie was outside with Brett yesterday when I went to get in the car to go to the store. Charlie snuck in and sat down practically before I had the door open. We thought it was pretty funny.

My surprise visit to AZ

I got to go to AZ for a surprise baby shower for my cousin Beth. It was a great party and a great little vacation! And I was really close to being there for the birth. Oh well, I cant have it all.

Oh yeah, and Brett won his weight loss challenge. 50 lbs lighter and 180.00 richer.
