The Stapp Family

Brexten Jacob turns 4!!

Well to start out, how is it even possible my BABY is 4, I mean I just had Brennar like a few months ago?!?!

We went to Get Air with most of his preschool class, it was perfect and I think he felt really special

He has got some great little buddies and I am so grateful for that

He was literally just living his best life

Tristan and Brexten

Mason, Brexten and Cooper - probably easily his best friends

This is his real best friend, Bryden:)

I love this picture of them, they really do adore each other

Seriously, how is he 4!!

We had a mommy and Brexy lunch date and 5 guys, he likes throwing the peanut shells on the ground

Then we did Red Robin with Grampa and Grama for dinner

This kid gets basically only hand me downs, but for his birthday we got him a brand new bike, and he couldn't be happier with it

Brexten, I can't even remember a day you weren't in our family, we are the icing on top of our already huge cake!! You have such a strong personality and we love it. You feel things BIG, you know what you want and you won't stop until you get it. While right now that isn't super fun for your siblings it will be wonderful to have growing up! You smile almost as much as Bryden does, and we love it! You are such a fun fun kid. We love you to Heaven and back, and farther than that!!

Brilee Grace is 8!!

We tried our very best to make this little lady feel like a princess - I had just had surgery less than a week before:( But I think she was happy with her day

We went to a wood painting workshop and brought cupcake and balloons

We brought Grama Debbi with us to celebrate hers as well

She made one of the best pictures I have ever seen come out of this shop, it was so so good!

And she got all her favorite meals that day - started off with caramel rolls

Texas roadhouse for dinner

And presents galore!!

She's a girl after my own heart, neither of us are really fans of cake, so we do ice cream pie from Baskin Robbins

Brilee Grace, we couldn't love you more!! You have more passion and conviction than any other kiddo I know, you know what is right and wrong and you stand up for your values - this will take you so far in life. We feel so lucky and blessed that you picked us to be your parents. We love you to Heaven and back, and farther than that!!

End of August

We really made the most of the last few weeks of August.

The dealership had a fun family BBQ that we went to, the park where is was had a lot of cool wood carvings to take photos on

The 2 little boys started swim lessons - only took them 2 classes and they moved up a level

Probably because they love the water

like look at their smiles, so glad they love the water like their mama!

We watched some cute kiddos a few weeks ago while their parents went out, the kids had so much fun! This is Leah, she is Christian's little sister

This is Tristan - him and the little boys played together on the same football team so they were so excited to play outside of a game or practice

And this is Christian, him and Bri are nearly attached at the hip, and we love it, they are very good friends to each other

And can you really end the summer without some yummy treats - these were frozen berries, they were soaked in dry ice, so when they ate them it looked like they were dragons

And of course, our starbucks!!

First day of school!

Everyone was very excited to go back to school this year, all 4 of them got the teachers they were hoping for!

I think we take a picture on these rocks every single year

Brennar got one of his besties back in his class this year, so that was fun for them both

Brilee teachers is Mrs. Shaeffer, that is who Brennar had so we are super lucky we get her for another year!

Brennar got Mr. Wakeman - he loves sports and can really play into Brennar's interest so we are thrilled with his class this year

And this cute moved on to elementary school with his bigger siblings this year, that has been an adjustment for him and me and Brexten, we loved our afternoons just the 3 of us last year
