graduation day -

What a wonderfully sunny day we all suffered and had to borrow sun screen !! red rocks was fantastic, all the rain we had made the vegetation green, the rocks red and the sky blue!

SSD2 was well rehearsed and able to go all the way down to the stage get across with a bit of help and guidance and get his diploma - fantastic. Gram Olie and PJ were there for support as was Hh and I even though it was the last day of open enrollment ( i had to go to work and stay till 5 pm) but it was so worth it. we are very proud of our wonderful son.

I have had one busy month.

at work we are in " open enrollment" the laws and plans and knowledge needs my full attention for the whole period, not to mention that I do a volunteer scout service at this time of the year too.

What you may ask yourself? I volunteer to handpaint bottle caps for webelos weekend. how many you may inquire? wel how about 600 or so...... Yikes what am I thinking? well it doesn't leave me much time for anything else.

So here I am a day away from teh END of open enrollment, a few days past completing my scout duty ( task) . My house is clean- my mother-in-law is in the house! SSD2 is Graduating from high school- I can't make this stuff up - I am ready for some R&R-

Praise the lord,ask for help but keep rowing

S. IS FREAKING amazing. he fixed the mom van and it is up and running.

We went to church this morning but SSD2 heaved about 20 minutes into the service, not sure what happened, he gave a big burp then looked at me said " trashcan" and chucked up all the breakfast we had less than an hour prior!! all over the floor and carpet, tile and all the way to a restroom. - it sucked and we were a bit emarrased.

not sure if it was a little bug ( tummy upset) or something worse we will have to keep an eye on him.

more senior portraits outtakes and proofs

It doesn't take long for SSD2 to be fed up with me trying to get him to " relax" and look at the camera, he was good after the first 5 shots and I took almost 90 total to find a few good ones!!

See those forhead wrinkles, we call that the begining of being very unhappy camper.

I just had to shoot through lots of eye and head movment hoping for a couple opf good shots - LOL
