No dogs allowed

We have a pretty strict no-dogs-allowed-in-the-kitchen-while-we're-eating rule. This includes the plastic, non-verbal kind as well. Case in point:

Some new pics

This week has gone by so fast! Kaelin has done really well with her stitches. The only time she fussed about them was when we would take the band-aid off each night to clean them. I took her in yesterday morning and had the sutures removed. It was not a pleasant experience at all! We had to hold her down again and she screamed the whole time. She kept yelling that she needed medicine or a new band-aid. Then she started yelling "Thank you" to the doctor. She's so polite, even when she's being held down. Here's a pic of her band-aid she's been wearing.


We have been having a hard time getting Kaelin to get into and stay in her high chair lately. So on Thursday I took her shopping and we found a new big girl booster seat! She loves it! It's pretty similar to her highchair since we had the space saver one, but it's new and she's happy with it. So far no problems getting her into it, just getting her out of it!

Kaelin and Daddy were playing "fort" in Kaelin's bed the other night. They were pretending to look at jungle animals with their binoculors. So Mike took her outside to use the real binoculors to look at stuff. It was so cute watching her look through them!

And she's spent. :)

Last night was Mike's sister's graduation. It's so wierd to me because 10 years ago I was graduating. The reunion is next weekend already. Eek! Anyways, there were almost 1000 students graduating this year. They had it out on the football field and we were able to see Colleen as she walked by to go sit in her chair. It was so hot and the ceremony was so long that we didn't make it. It took an hour for them to even get to the part where they present the diplomas and then Colleen was about 500 names in. It didn't start until 7 so I'm sure theygot out of there really late. Kaelin stayed with my parents because I knew she would not have fun if she went with us. After we left we stopped at Chili's and had dinner. So yummy! Then we went and picked up Kaelin from Mom's. She had pizza for dinner and went swimming. She was ready for bed as soon as we got home, which was awesome. I was so tired that I went to bed shortly after I put her down. Here's a pic of our graduate!

I have to go to church tomorrow to run the sound system. My step-dad is preaching and the normal sound guy will be out of town. So I have to go up there today for a run through. Shouldn't be too hard but I don't really like going to church anymore.

Next week or so will be super busy! Tuesday is our 7th anniversary! Then Mike has a dentist appointment and our reunion is on Friday night. Then we have Kaelin's birthday pics and Geri's baby shower on Saturday. Then we're either going bowling or up to Humble Saturday night. Then it's Father's Day and Kaelin's birthday after that! I can't believe she's going to be 2 already!
