Dinosaur Park

Leanne and I had planned to take the kids to the zoo today.  Her schedule got pretty hectic so we opted for lunch at McDonald's and the Dinosaur Park instead.  It was a much shorter drive.  I was watching Alex today as well so Leanne, Kadence, Shelby, Alex, Parker, Kylah and I went.  Parker just wanted to get to the playground and didn't pay much attention to the attractions. Kylah loved looking at everything with her cousins. Alex was so good to just sit in the stroller and take everything in.  He was able to get out and stretch when we got to the park.  He and Kylah were fascinated by the ducks.  Kylah was only on day 4 of potty training so we made many trips to the bathroom.  The kids all seemed to enjoy themselves and Leanne and I got to sit in the shade and talk a lot of the time.

Air Show

Aaron worked at the air show at Hill Air Force Base fueling planes.  He got some pretty neat pictures of some planes very close up.

Mom's trip to Massachusetts

I was able to go to Massachusetts to attend Jason's college graduation.  He received his associates degree, Summa Cum Laude. He graduated from Dean College. He received an outstanding achievement award, Alpha Sigma Lambda National Honor Society. He was the only one present to receive a straight 4.0 GPA.  I am so proud of him. I am also proud of his wife, Dana she has about a year to go to get her degree, but she is also getting a 4.0.

After graduation we went to lunch. It was nice to be able to spend time with them. I loved getting to know my niece and nephew better.  My dad and I took the kids to McDonalds playland after lunch so that Jason and Dana could get some sleep. They were making a 15 hour drive that night to go visit Dana's mom.

I spent the few days prior to graduation catching up with friends from high school.  I stayed with Shannon and she carted me around everywhere I needed to go. I was also able to go to dinner with my friends Jenn and Joanna one night.  While at dinner Joanna and I both found out that Jenn is engaged and also expecting a baby.  I am so happy for her.
