Ashlee's Hooding & Graduation

Ashlee just recently graduated from Drake University. A bunch of us went to Iowa to her ceremonoies to support her. She had her hooding ceremony on Saturday May 17 and her graduation ceremony on Sunday June 18. We had a great time hanging out as a family for the weekend. We are so proud of Ashlee!! She went through 6 years of school to get to where she is today!! She is now working at CVS as a graduate intern and will be able to start as a Pharmacist as soon as she passes her boards. Here are some pictures from her ceremonies. And some family pictures too!

Mike racing!!

Mike has offically started racing this summer!! He races an open wheel modified. His number is 14M. He has been doing pretty good for a first year driver. Especially since his car hasn't been running right since we started. I love watching him race because it is something he has wanted to do for awhile now and I video tape it so he can watch it later. (Later = Right after we get home from the races before we go to bed. LOL) He has been having so much fun with his race car and we look forward to haveing our friends and family watching him race this summer. A special thanks goes out to Tim Stucky,Evan Fink,Joey Markle,Erik Bruce, and Dan & Cody Spriling for all the help you have givin us so far this year!!! You really don't know how much your help is appriciated!! Also if I have missed someone I'm sorry but, Thank you too!! Mike is so excited because he only has to miss a couple of races this summer. Here are some pictures of the car and a couple races.

The nieces and nephew

Here is an update on Samantha, Patrick, and Haley. They are all doing so good!! Patrick will be 3 in June and Sam will be 3 in August. Haley will have a little longer to wait because she won't be 1 until February. Sam and Patrick and Carter will be our ring bearers and flower girl for our wedding on November 8, 2008. I don't have any pictures of the boys in their tuxes yet because we haven't been to the tux place yet. But I have a picture of Sam in her flower girl dress. Other than that the kids have been great!! I started watching Haley for the summer on Monday June 2. It is amazing how fast they have grown up!!
