Awesome Daddy, Awesome Dillan

A month very full of accomplishments!  Kyle finished his MBA, received his diploma, graduated!  Done with school forever!  (I think.)  Dillan and Daddy had a Father-Son campout.  Dillan and Daddy made a pinewood derby car, official race is this week.  Dillan also had swimming lessons for the first time.  Hazel was a little envious, she loves the water, but she was satisfied with her sippy cup full of milk and just watching her brother.
  
 Hazel and Kyle going through all of Kyle's papers after graduation.  We got rid of a stack of paper 8 inches tall!  And we have yet to find a home for all those text books.
 You get the "making of" of the pinewood derby car out of order, sorry!  We made it a road, with yellow stripes and a motorcycle on top.

 Kid central!  Fun to have friends over.  Sad to have some of them move away.  Julianne, who isn't in this picture was one of Dillan's best friends.  We were watching her and her brother while their parents were packing the moving van.
 Kyle's graduation.  The people standing were the top 20% of the graduating class, Kyle is one of them.  He got Academic Honors and into 2 different MBA honor societies, that's what the cords on the graduates mean.
 That't Kyle!  Shaking hands with the President of Willamette University and receiving his diploma.

 Congratulations to Kyle, and us!
 More Pinewood Derby Car making.  Michael Jackson style!
 Hammering on the wheels


 Dillan's best friend Edgar and sister Sabrina.  Yay for families with kids the same age as mine!  
 Those are our Easter baskets on her head.
 Diaper Boarding!  Brought to you by Dillan!  There was one for me too!
 As part of the graduation celebration there was a soccer game.  Dillan put on all Daddy's gear while Daddy was out.
 More Pinewood Derby making!
 His swimming lessons!  Dillan's weakness is floating on his back.  His strengths are running in the water, being excited and happy, bobs (going underwater), and jumping in enthusiastically.



That's our GPS.
