My crew.

This is the investigations division at my Sheriff's Office.  We don't usually get all dressed up in our uniforms but the day of this picture was also an awards ceremony during "Law Enforcement Week."  I'm in the back row hiding!

Gracies nails.

So, my daughter loves to have her finger and toe nails painted thanks to her mommy and aunt.  Yesterday it was just the kids and I and Grace walks up to me and said, "Daddy paint my n'nails pretty please."  What is a father to do but find the fingernail polish, and try not to spill the bottle while trying to paint my baby girls nails.  Honestly, it was kinda fun to spend that kind of time with my daughter and I would do it again in a heart beat!

The first fishing trip of the year.

Garret and I have been talking about going fishing for a few weeks now and yesterday we got our gear ready.  We decided as long as it wasn't raining when we woke up we would head to the lake and see what we could catch.  Early than I had hoped, Garret woke up ready to go fishing.  We picked up papa and headed to the lake.  We caught three decent fish in a few hours and had a great time!

Ahhhh, the first fish of the year!

The dinosaur song!!!!

So it is that time of year where cookouts with friends and family begin, school years end and fun in the sun is a daily event.  Cor, Garret and Grace are doing very well and are excited for Bekah's next baby.  Mom and Dad bought a new Minivan today that will be absolutely perfect for them, lots of room and storage.  Annie and I are excited for the summer and can't wait for a vacation.  It literally has been years since I took a real vacation from work.  It is exciting to think that I will be able to get away for a while.  We hope and pray that everyone is doing well!

Enjoy the video of Dave singing to the kids, it was priceless!!!!!
