Tyson's Graduation

Relaxing on Sabbath afternoon!
Mindy and me.
We stayed at the greatest home...here is the deck where we ate.
Brannen! What a cutie!
The graduate with Grandma and Grandpa.






Last weekend (May 24) we got to go to MN to Tyson's graduation from academy. It was great to be there with all the family and we had a GREAT time! Ian got introduced to geocaching and he's hooked. Guess Lauris and I will have to learn about it now too.

Braces



Ian and I both have 2 years of braces to look forward to. Tried to get some pictures but they aren't too good with my camera, sorry! But you can get the gist! I've had mine since April 17. Ian got his on May 20. We just have our tops on for now. Ian already has a bracket off on his front tooth and he'll get that repaired when he gets back from ND.

Thought I'd post some photo's here from December with Dad and Mom and some of Dad's doctors. He'll come back down here in June to have some follow up tests to see how he is doing. There is also a picture with John and Ella Renk.

Dogs




Some funny pictures of our pooches. Abby badly needs a shave. Moe has been extra attentive lately. Last night it was windy and raining and I let him come in the house to sleep. I couldn't find him. He is a real sneak! Finally I looked in Ian's room and he was laying on the floor by Ian's bed...so I let him stay there and sleep for the night. Usually he likes to be in our closet. Ian had been playing with him during the day while Lauris and I napped so I thought it was sweet that he chose to go to Ian's room.

This is Abby after her bleeding ear ordeal. I finally put tape directly on her ear and we just left it. Several days later it came off and it was no longer bleeding.

Spirit Week






Ian's school had Spirit week last week. Monday was hat day and Ian wore this big fur hat that Lauris had. Tuesday was pajama day and Ian wore his fuzzy footy jammies. Wednesday was twin day and he dressed like his teacher...turned out all the elementary teachers wanted to dress the same and since his teacher had already agreed to dress like Ian...they were all dressed the same. It was neat! Thursday was retro day..they could dress like 60's 70's or 80's. So, we dressed him like a nerd. I even found a piano key tie from the 80's. Then on Friday it was crazy day and they could just do whatever. So we painted his hair black and Lauris had these funny glasses. Ian had a great time. He only has 9 more days of school and he'll be a 5th grader!
