Last Sunday we headed over to the Cities for Morgan and Nicole's (Calvin's brother and sister in law) graduation from law school! What an accomplishment - I am amazed by people who can do that. They both graduated with honors also - what a couple of smarty pants! We had a nice day watching the ceremony and visiting at the party. Cal and I (mostly Calvin) did the food for the party, and of course it was about 90 degrees in an apartment with no AC!
The only family picture - not very cute. We were all too hot and sweaty.
Congrats Moe and Nicole! We are so proud of you!!!
Kailee spent most of the day outside with the dogs. She loves to take pictures of herself with them.
Monday after the party was just as hot. I think it was 95 with about 95% humidity! We couldn't stand to be outside very long, but we did have to go swimming.
She loves the pool and the sprinkler - we've played in one or the other every day I've been off!
So far Ellie's been pretty nice about sharing her pool....
The exciting news around our house is that Kailee got braces! She looks even more grown up now. All her teeth are in, so it was a good time to start them. She'll have them on for about 2 1/2 years, and has already figured out that means she gets to pick out different color bands 30 times. And that she also needs to plan ahead when it's time for school pictures. The bands, her outfit and the background all need to match.
Our garden is coming up so well! I'm super excited! I'm even excited even though I had to weed it yesterday. It wouldn't have been so bad, but the neighbors have a maple tree that dropped all its' whirlybirds right in the garden.
Today Jocelyn decided that she was too big to sit in her highchair (luckily that was only for breakfast). She was really sensitive, clingy and wimpy today - not her usual self. 
We went garage saleing last weekend, and my best find was this vacuum for $1! It even turns on - I figured it was broken, but didn't really care. The little pieces of 'dirt' get blown around when you turn it on. I'm not really sure how she knows how to use it since I don't really vacuum that much.... :)
I got her hair in real pigtails today - so cute!
Here she is with her bear - close to 18 months. I don't have a sign for 18 months, but wanted to get the bear picture at least. She's much better about taking her picture now! She did great at her doctor last week - didn't even cry for the shot. It was her last one until kindergarten! I scheduled her 2 year appointment - that was a little scary. She's growing well - 25 lbs., 2 oz. and 32.5 inches.
