Mother's Day

Dan and I went to my parents house for Mother's Day and had a great time! I picked my grandma up at the airport the day before. She's now home from Arizona for the summer and we love having her around:) Here are the four beauty queens after relaxing on the couches all day:)


This is my family, annoyed with me that I'm interrupting their meal to take a picture for my blog !
I had to put this picture on the blog because I think it is just the coolest thing! My dad painted this picture of Caleb and his two buddies Owen and Payton (all the same age). Isn't it so good?!
Caleb signed his card for grandma and she loved it!

Dan and I love this video of Caleb! He really isn't being a bad boy, he's just doing what any boy would do if he saw a BIG puddle!

Graduation Party!!!

After the graduation on Saturday we had a party for Dan at my Aunt Ruth's house. Lots of his family came and some of mine. It was so good to see and spend some time with family that we don't get to see very often!

This pic is of Dan's aunt and 4 girl cousins that traveled here from Michigan. Also his cousin Matt and his wife Amanda came with their new baby, Owen!

Here are all the girls watching the guys play corn hole as we chat away!

Here we are Sunday after church!

Dan's Graduation

Saturday morning we went to Dan's graduation. It definitely wasn't what we were expecting, let's just put it that way! They were remodeling the basketball stadium, so the ceremony was held in one room and we had to sit in another room and watch in on a big screen. I only got one pic of him on stage and as you can see from below it is blurry, but oh well, he graduated and that's all that counts!

Here we are in another room waiting to watch his graduation on a big screen (as you can see, Poppy is trying to get a pic of me at the same time:)

Dan on stage giving the guy who handed him the diploma a big ol' hug instead of a handshake like everyone else!

Friday Night

Friday night Dan's grandparents and parents drove up from Evansville, IN for Dan's graduation Saturday. We went out to eat Friday night at Zia's down on the river. It's so pretty there at night and we just enjoyed their company!

There's a boat down on the river that has been made into a museum that the guys are in front of.

Girls Night!

We had a girls night friday night at Britnye's house and we had so much fun! We missed our husbands, of course, but it was so good to set aside a night to laugh, eat pizza, and just be girls! Oh, and I can't leave out our work out video (Turbo Jam).

Heather, Hillary, and I making the pizza

Hott...group of girls!

I got to stand there and laugh at the girls while they were doing the Turbo Jam and I took the pictures. I'm sure they will appreciate seeing these on my blog:)

Hillary is definitely serious about her work out. Look at that face!

Baseball Game

On Monday Dan drove up to Detroit and met his grandpa (Poppy) and his cousin Molly to watch a Tigers game. They had a lot of fun together! They had great seats right above the Tigers dugout!

McCool Family

I went home this last weekend to go to my friend Meghan's wedding and to visit my family. Dan was not able to go with me because he had a lot of school work to do. My sister-n-law Julie and I went to the wedding together and had a lot of fun! Meghan looked beautiful and her and Chad are such a cute couple!

Meghan and I before the wedding!

Giving their vows


Ahhh.....NEWLYWEDS
(turned out a little blurry)

This is one of the cutest wedding cakes I have ever seen!

For any of you out there that are planning a wedding, this is the best idea ever.....they had a candy bar there! It was such a big hit! I ate so much candy that I wasn't hungry for my meal! YUMMY!

The wedding party!
