2nd Lieutenant Shane Smith

We started off the day early because Shane had his Army Commissioning Ceremony!!
It was quite the ordeal, I had two girls who didnt want to cooperate and who were more interested in sleeping than wanting to get ready!! But we finally got to where we were supposed to be and we weren't late, Thank Goodness!!!


Rylee playing with my camera, while we were waiting for Shane to come and get us!!
I really sometimes wonder where on earth the blonde hair comes from???


This is Shane and Cole getting sworn in as Officers in the Army. It was really cool that both of them got to be sworn in at the same time, however looking at them you would never guess that they are brothers!! The Officer with his back to the camera is a great friend and Cadret member of Shane and Cole's, he's been a great influence and help to both of them and we just wanted to express our thanks to Captain Mike Rhinehart!!!


This is Shane receiving his first Salute as an Officer!! The whole commission ceremony was a whole lot better than sitting through the 4 hour commencement for a regualar school graduation!!! Go ARMY!!!


Seems I've managed to not capture Sydnee at all today, she was nestled away snug in her carseat...She was so good never made a peep and slept through all of the ceremony...JaCee and I had our hands full with Rylee and Bailey running up and down the isles...they were sure proud of their dad's though!! And a special thanks to Shane and Liz for helping out with the girlies as well as being apart of Shane and Cole's Commissioning!!!


Shane, Solomon & Cole Smith
