Brinley had her last day of preschool on May 19th and then on the 21st was her little Graduation! I can't believe it's over! The year flew by, just like everything else! Brinley has one more year of preschool, then off to Kindergarten. That's a sad thought!!
Brinley was almost the last one called & I think she was getting a little bored!

On Sat. 5/16 it was Gracee's 3rd Birthday! They had a B-B-Q & a fun blow up water slide! Luckily it was a nice warm day, but I guess kids don't care how warm it is! I swear kids don't feel cold like us old people do!!!

Alex was in heaven- outside in water with doughnuts
I love this picture!
Gracee & her bike she said from Ho-Ho (Santa) don't ask we all don't know why!
Drake wishing for an audience, I'm kidding he actually is really good!
The night after Dustin got home 5/15, we all got together at my parent's house for a B-B-Q. Everyone was so excited to hang with him and hear all of his stories. It is so fun having Dustin home again and the good thing is, he is exactly the same. He is not weird like most missionaries are when they get home! Dustin has the BEST personality and he is such a cutie! He's a catch for any GAL!!! Welcome Home Dust, we're glad to have you back!!!
Dustin & some of his brothers (Dustin, Tanner, Preston, & Logan- I think! I'm a bad aunt, I still can't tell them apart!)
On May 14th at 11:00 p.m. my whole family made our way to the airport for the special arrival of Elder Dustin Dorris! Dustin is the oldest grandchild/ nephew in our family. He served his mission in Spain. I can't believe how fast 2 years went!!
All the kiddos that stayed up for the the big event. My kids were at home in bed and so was their dad!!
Alex made this cute poster for Dustin. It is supposed to be a werewolf!
When I hugged Dustin his whole body was shaking. He told me sorry cause his knees were knocking! He was so excited he couldn't stand it & we felt the same!!
Mission Accomplished!!
Last Tuesday 5/12 Brinley had her last field trip of the year at Wheeler Farm. It was a perfect day to be outside. All the kids had a fun time seeing all the cute animals!
Meet Cliff our tour guide. It was a dang good thing he wore his Blue Blockers with it being a sunny day and all!!
Brinley & Keegan kept chasing the geese and the geese did not like it!
This goat was hilarious! Every time Brinley would touch it, it would throw his head back like he was gonna bite her.

This is our playroom! Just a nice, messy, normal playroom! Well this is how is usually looks. Until last Monday 5/11, that's when everything changed!!!
Yes, water!!! Let me tell the great story. First of all it was one of the worst days I have had in a long time. The first thing was when I was talking to my mom, my phone was not working right, then eventually later it would not even come on. Then later I had to go down our stairs to grab something and the baby gate was up so I tried stepping over it and slipped and fell on my butt and down the stairs I went. At 1:45 p.m. Alex calls and I knew he was getting out early but I forgot it was just 1st & 2nd D track not all the kids on D track. My neighbor Laurel picks him up every day and her kids are on D track also, so I was thinking she was getting him from school, but I forgot it was just 1st & 2nd grade. So I had to wake Chesnie up from her nap and go get my forgotten child! So then later at 6:30 p.m. is when the day really began. I went down stairs cause I heard my Uncle Steve come in so I went to say Hi and I couldn't find him so I headed back upstairs and I heard something in the playroom. I thought to myself "is Uncle Steve in the playroom?" So I looked in there and there it was. We were leaking. It was coming from the ceiling and running down the wall. So I called Luke. Him & Alex were at baseball practice and I told him he needed do come home cause we had a problem. He got home and started moving everything out into the living room and cut into the wall & ceiling to find the problem. It ended up being the pipe going to the hose out front. It had froze this winter and burst. So then I called our insurance guy, this is when it pays to have home owners insurance. A clean up guy was sent out at 10:00 p.m. He cleaned a few things up & right away put fans in the room to dry it out. Then left at 12:30p.m. What a mess! The insurance company gave us $1900 to fix the damages and hopefully we will have our playroom up and running soon!! Let's hope "IT" NEVER happens again!!!
Here is the little Jerk that made the mess!

This is how everything stands now
