Well the graduation went well.

I had to use my old camera and the settings were all messed up and I never learn these camera's we buy, Travis always sets them all up and all that so I had no clue how to change a thing on it so all the pictures I took turned out dark. Then, went to get my video camera and it was dead so no video's and it was really the coolest little graduation. I am just so mad. But it is water under the bridge and nothing I can do about it now.

Josh came with me and I had Tyler. We had a great time. Dallas' teacher let him out of class to come watch with us and so after everything there was cake and stuff and then we walked Dallas back to class and came home.

Josh played some xbox with Coda and then he left and we went outside until it was Tyler's nap time. Then as soon as Tyler was back up we went outside again. :) Rode our bikes down to the school to meet Dallas. I have a bike that has a baby seat on the back so I put Tyler in that and rode down there, by the time we got back I was sure I was going to have a heart attack. I could walk forever but riding a bike just about kills me and ugh is the most uncomfortable thing to do I think. Not really much of a bike rider.

Josh decided that he wanted to take his bike home today. Or what he said was his. He did pay for it but he bought it about 3 years ago and left it at our house. We have moved twice since then and taken it with us both times, Travis has used it, we have stored it, isn't there something that says somewhere after a year it becomes the property of the person who has it and we have had it for 3. hmmmm. well nevertheless he took it and so now Travis doesn't have a bike. Good thing we are not into riding bikes much I suppose. haha Although we did on occasion and Travis would hop on that one and go. But no more, I do have 2 but Travis I doubt with ride the ladies bike. haha Travis likes the motorized ones better anyways and is looking for himself one. When you are patient you always get the best deals. That is how we got such a killer deal on the boys bikes, because we were patient and so we are again for Travis and then, Yay! I get one next, Although Travis doesn't know, But his vacation fund is now my quad fund. LOL

Tonight we went out and sold a box of candy bars. Dallas is still in the running to get that first place $100 for selling the most candy bars. We have sold 6, have 3 more left and 20 on order so he is working hard. He can sell a box in an hour going door to door so I only make him sell a couple boxes a week. Once we get our big order in though we will have to kick it into high gear. :)

Well the boys are in bed. Dallas has one more day of school left. Half day tomorrow. He has been begging to ride his bike to school so since it is the last day I am letting him tomorrow, his friend Uriah rides his bike to school and passes right by our street and they can ride together and home together so he is syked about that.

Coda thinks its pretty cool that Dallas has to go to school tomorrow and he doesn't. The kindergartners were told so long as they were present at the graduation today that they would be marked as present tomorrow so they don't have to go to school tomorrow but the big kids do which Coda is determined to be a big kid now and is dying for the new school year to start up so he can go to First grade and have 3 recesses and hot lunch. lol So July can't come soon enough for him. I am sure after about 2 weeks at the most, of both boys home I will be saying the same and wishing July to get here quickly too. haha
