Graduation, sickies, and sunny days

Thanks to all of the family who came down to support and congratulate Dusty on his graduation day. I think it all turned out pretty smoothly and I hope everyone had fun. I know that we did. I only wish we had a bigger house to share with you all. It's always amazing to me how many people we can cram into our upstairs rooms. For the past few days Tyson and I have been "down with the flu". We took it pretty darn easy yesterday. No showers, baths, cleaning...... Poor Dusty had to come home to that. I wish Tyson would just chill on the couch with me on days like that, but not yet. Always has to be looking at something or playing with something :) Today is a better day. Got my house all cleaned and smelling fresh again. For graduation, Allie (and Derek, technically,) gave us a movie made up of Tyson pictures and then a CD of the pictures. Here is a sampling of her photo skills. She rocks. :)

My Newbery Challenge

Because I want to get some reading done, instead of wasting my "valuable" time, I've decided to give myself a litle challenge. I want to read at least half of the Newbery Award books. I give myself a little leeway, that way I won't fall short, and if I happen to read them all, then so be it! :) You can look at the books here. I have already read quite a few, and that is a good starting place too! Maybe I'll give you some feedback as I finish each one. Wish me luck!

Anyone need a trim?

Hair cuts seem to be in season at our house. Tyson recieved one and then Dusty gave himself one. It was Tyson's first time for a full out trim. Dusty held his hands down, and I quickly cut. (except for when he was taking pictures of course) I really had no idea what I was doing, but it turned out okay. Dusty's on the other hand..... just kidding. See for yourself.
