T ball

We started tball again for the year the beginning of June, and once again Brennar loves it!  my friend Brittany's husband is coaching and Clint is the assistant coach, I am not sure if I like this better or Brennar, but we have had a fun month

We have had some crazy Colordo weather and the kids were only actually able to play about 30 minutes of one of their first 3 games:(  This game was actually about 45 minutes before the tornado touched down, literally minutes from here!!

But look at my #11, he is so cute, I mean, so tough:)

Here is Addy, Brittany's oldest

Getting ready....

He needs to work on that upper body strength a bit, seems as if the bat may be a little bit heavy for him!

And he's off!!

Made it home

This is Bria, she is Addy's younger sister, she doesn't really play, she is more of a cheerleader for the team.  She reminds me so much of Brilee

Jr. K graduation

 I can't even believe this happened!! My baby is all done with Jr - K (preschool) and is off to the big school next year.  To say I am dreading it, isn't even close to how I feel about it.  Actually just typing this right now I have tears in my eyes.  Brennar is the sweetest little boy I have even met, and I can honestly say that has nothing to do with him being mine.  I worry every day that I didn't prepare him enough for what happens in the real world and how kids can be mean to other kids, because there really was NONE of that at his preschool. God knew exactly what he was doing when he guided our family there and I will be forever grateful that I choose this school.  And his class who he now has been with for 3 years is so special.  These kids love each other, seriously love each other.  To the point where most families (if their kids aren't doing full day kindergarten) are going to come back next year 2 days a week in the afternoons for an enrichment class.  And to think that the families and the teachers recognized this bond between these kids and actually came up with a brand new program so this could happen; blessed are we!  My emotions have nothing to do with this baby either, I swear, that is just how much I love this school and my oldest baby!

The Jr K class performing for us

 All the preschool preforming, my sweet little Brilee Grace loves this school too

 She even got a certificate of completing 2 day a week preschool, she is moving up to 3 days next year.  I will have a completely different reaction when she moves on to kindergarten, more of a "watch out world, Brilee has arrived"  :)

 I am so bummed how dark this is, but here is Brennar receiving his diploma

 And his absolutely wonderful teacher, Mrs. Meyer- I can't even believe the things she has taught these kids this year!  Have I mentioned I love their school?!?!

 This is Brilee and her best buddy Hailey from, they developed a fast friendship and I am so grateful for that

 Family photo with all my graduates!

 And Brennar and Eli - boy will these 2 miss each other next year!  This is one friendship we will not let dwindle no matter how little we get to see each other now.  These boys are the bestest of friends!

One last one

This is it, I promise!!

But really, isn't Hawaii beautiful!

Daddy gets this shot tomorrow for Father's Day:)

And Grampa Todd gets this one!

We did a mini photo shoot the last night, if that wasn't obvious

And last but not least swimming with the dolphins, always fun!!!

This is Pele - her and Brilee became fast friends!

Until next year Hawaii (hopefully) and once again, you've outdone yourself!

Here are a few more pictures from our "beach" stop - we didn't have swimsuits with us, so we made do with our shirts and underwear:)

I just love the way he looks at you when you say his name - so sweet

And if this isn't adorable!!

As most people know the Big Island is covered in lava, so we stopped at one of the popular lava tubes right along the road, Brennar thought it was awesome, but it may have been the head lamp he got to wear that was the best part

Goats are also in abundance in the lava - so Brilee aptly named them Lava Goats - I think it works:)

Coolest picture ever

Took Brennar a few days but he actually gave the snorkeling a try in the deep water, he saw so many things that he kept wanting to snorkel over and over.  Hawaii=success

She's the cutest little Hawaiian beauty ever, just my humble opinion though

Brennar asked to be a sand sculpture again this year, he lasts for all of 30 seconds before he freaks about all the sand on him

Bryden liked it for about that long too

I just can't believe we waited so many years to do the paddle boards, we rented them almost daily this year

I promise I was right there, I just wanted it to look like Brennar was taking off with his little bro in tow

Pool time was awesome too, a little cold, but the slides rocked

Action shot!

They are amazing, and they are MINE!!!

Me and my 3 cuties

Seriously, Hawaiian Princess?? I think so!

And Brilee with her favorite companion of the trip:)
