On Sunday, Jason graduated from Officer Candidate School and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Army National Guard. I'm mad because my pictures all turned out dark so I'm waiting to get better ones (hopefully) from other people. This was a big deal for Jason and he has been working so hard to get this honor. We are so proud of him! We love you daddy! And now we only have 8 years left in the Army! The other neat part was that Jason's battle buddy (Casey Seckel) was the one that got to pin him at the ceremony. We love you Uncle Seckel!

Kindergarten, here we come! I can hardly believe that my little girl has now started kindergarten. She is so grown up! We went school shopping for clothes and shoes and she actually enjoyed it! She says she wants to own 30 pairs of shoes! Just like her mom! We also went and got her a perm. It turned out really good and is a lot easier to do. Here are pics of her first day and the first day that she got to ride the bus. And yes, she is in a jacket in August because Idaho weather sucks and it was soooooo cold that day.

American baby came out with a contest that asked you to take pictures of your child discoverying something new, so here is the pics that we sent in of Quinn. Winners get a paid trip to New York! or the cover of the December issue!
