We have had a busy couple of weeks here at daveandkarrie.com .

First, Emily turned 13 years old. So she had some friends over for a party.





It was, in a word, hectic.  But she had a good time, for sure.

Then, this weekend, Kortney graduated high school !



You can witness the moment she received her diploma via the magic of a cell phone camera.





Needless to say, Mom was VERY proud.



In fact, we all were.





Don't mind Trent, we had spent over 2 hours in 95+ heat so he was feeling a little woozy!

And then, Alex had his 12th birthday party.  His was on a smaller scale, he just had a couple of friends over.






He had a delicious ice cream cake from Dairy Queen.



My favorite part of the day was giving Alex one of my electric guitars and a practice amp.  The look on his face was priceless!



Keep in mind, there is a method to our madness.  When he becomes the next Eric Clapton, it is time for Dad and Stepmom to retire!



We finished the day off with some fine billiards playing.  (Thanks to CraigsList!  You really can find ANYTHING on there....)





You have to agree that it has been a VERY busy couple of weeks.  We had a great time throughout, but are looking forward to a little down time.

That's all for now, stay tuned!
