First Day of school

Well the day came to send them back to school:(  We had so much fun this summer, I wasn't ready for it

 

This guy is now in the 1st grade - which means full day school, that's a long time to be gone each day

And Bryden got to start preschool - I didn't start the other 2 until they had turned 3 but he really has wanted to go for a long time, he had to get potty trained and he knew that, and he did it in one weekend

 

Bryden's first day of Preschool - I am: 2 1/2 years old. I like to: go to lunch. Favorite color: Blue. 32 pounds. 38 inches. My teacher: Mrs. Busch. I want to be: Spiderman. Favorite book: Pigs

Brennar's first day of 1st grade - I am: 6 1/2 years old. I like to: build legos. Favorite color: Blue.
47 pounds. 50 inches. My teacher: Mrs. Panega. I want to be: lego builder at lego land. Favorite book: Star Wars

 

 

Brilee's first day of Jr K- I am: almost 5 years old. I like to: ride horses. Favorite color: Pink.
39 pounds. 545 inches. My teacher: Mrs. Meyer. I want to be: Cowgirl. Favorite book: Princesses

They are ready to change the world!

Brilee gets the same teacher that Brennar had so she was happy

 Bryden gets Mrs. Busch who he has seen there his entire life so he was good too

 He was so ready - I said to him "ok, Bryden we need to go now so we can take Brennar to school (meaning Clint and I) and he put his marker down and said "but why, I want to stay" :( So he stayed and we left

 I am really disappointed in Brennar's class this year, not necessarily his teacher - I have heard they are all great, but that he was split up from every single one of his boy friends, there were a few girls he likes but not one boy.  This is him and his best buddy from last year.  At least they get to see each other at lunch and recess still

 Class of 2032

 Class of 2030

Praying for a wonderful year ahead for all my babies!

Our last days of summer

This little man, he just does it to me!  He is so sweet and cuddly and only has eyes for his mama!! On the down side - he thinks it's a good idea to start walking!!! I want him to stay little forever though!

As many people know, at least who see him regularly, he has had a plugged tear duct since birth. We took him to a specialist the end of June and he said we needed to get surgery on it since he hadn't outgrown it yet.  Well, I was very nervous, but wanted it done because I knew it bothered him. Well, thanks to lots of prayers from lots of people, it healed on its own!!!!

 This kid, seriously, those curls!!! And yes, he always has a messy face:)

 This one doesn't know how to keep his eyes open for the camera - the sun and flash really bother him, he always wants a hat or sunglasses on

 Brilee thinks it's fun to put her own lipgloss on, I think here her lips are about 3 times the size they really are

 He sees an open gate and he is off

 I can just hear him saying "cheese"

 posing with her "sparkly eyes"

He is getting so big, I can't believe he goes to full day school this year:(

 He is mad that daddy wouldn't let him crawl on top of the grill...while he is bbqing!!!

 But he turned around quickly

 He's my best friend right now:)

 He snuck up close to it anyways, he is TROUBLE

Most of my favorite people in the world!!

Had a fun little mini golf date right before school started!

 And this turkey ended up in the ER again - he is so so tough but man he is going to be trouble. 

 But look how sweet and cuddly he is, totally makes up for all his mischief

 Brexten is all set for school too - at least on pajama day anyways:)

 Love this happy boy

Brilee's Birthday Party

My little princess is about to turn 5!! Can't even believe it, but 5 is a big one so we had a big party, underwater style!

I had so much fun decorating for it, seriously, so much fun, what in the world did we do before Pinterest?!?!

My friend taught me how to do the rosettes, I think they turned out pretty cute

 I had another friend make the dinglehopper cakepops, they were super cute too

 The girls had table settings

 I just think this was so cute, I hope Brilee loved it

 My almost 5 year old

 Everything was ocean themed - Sea stars (watermelon) drift wood (pretzels) sea foam (popcorn) crab legs (carrots) sea cucumber (cucumber slices) crabs (sandwhiches) coral (rock candy)

 And then we also had ocean punch and ocean water

 But the highlight - Ariel came!

 Pretty princess got her face painted

 Brilee and her bestie Bria

 This handsome dude thought Ariel was pretty special

 Brennar and Eli, not so much - shouldn't have invited them silly boys!

 She was wonderful, seriously, the way she talked and sang

 and danced

 Brilee's princess ceremony

 I sure hope this princess remembers this party for years to come, I put so much into it and I think she noticed:)  Happy Birthday to my one and only princess!
