Preschool Graduation

Our little girl is growing up! On May, 19th Brylie graduated from preschool. We are so proud of her progress this year! She was so excited to graduate because she can't wait to start kindergarten.

Here she is with a few of her friends that were in her class. Her teacher did a really cute program for graduation. It was fun to see some of the songs that they learned this year.

This is kind of hard to see, but this is when she was called up to get her graduation bag from her teacher.

She is proudly holding her bag. In it is her science journal that they worked on for the year, and her scrapbook that her teacher put together of all of her really nice projects.

We're so proud of you Brylie! You amaze us everyday!! We love you!!

Mother's Day

I had a really great Mother's Day this year. On the Saturday before Mother's Day we went to Las Vegas with my parents and met my brother and his family at Mandalay Bay. The kids loved the aquarium. I had never been there before and it was really fun.

Ben, Brylie, Cody and Brooklyn. At least Ben and Brooklyn are smiling. My kids look like it's their mug shots!!

The kids with Grandma.

Cody and his daddy.

I promise my kids had fun. You wouldn't know it from their faces!

Brylie's favorite part was petting the sting rays.

It was a lot of fun, but the best part was the Cheesecake Factory afterwards!

Brylie's Dance Recital

Brylie had her dance recital a few weeks ago at Tuacahn. For those of you who have never been to Tuacahn, you have to come see a play or concert there. It is absolutely beautiful. Plus then you could come visit us too... since we're just down the street!!

Cody was feeling left out since everyone was taking pictures of Brylie in her dance costume. Hmm.... he looks very mischevious!

And grumpy.

Brylie did a very good job at her recital. I was a little nervous because it didn't seem like she ever really paid attention in class. (She is a little hyper) But she actually did a really good job and knew her dance very well.

My kid's favorite part of Tuacahn is the waterfall. We had to go check itout after the performance.

Cody couldn't get enough of it. In fact when we left, he threw the biggest fit he has ever thrown in his life.

Easter... Finally!

So I am finally getting around to posting pictures of Easter! What took me so long? Well it might have something to do with the little one. In fact I know it has something to do with the little one.

Why didn't anybody tell me 3 kids would be so time consuming?!! Oh wait.... somebody might have mentioned it. Oh well, back to Easter....

Easter morning the kids woke up to find their Easter baskets from the Easter Bunny.

Here Cody is checking out all of his cool stuff.

Then as always, my children start to check out each other's things. And you know how that goes..... So here is Michael literally dividing the air between them. Nobody touches anything on the other side of this imaginary line!!!

Ahhh, peace and quiet again.

Here is Brylie checking out all of her cool stuff.

I think she really likes her Hannah Montana microphone.

Somehow I got these pictures out of order. Can I blame that on the little one too?

These are from the night before when we colored our Easter eggs.

Cody was a really good helper.

Aren't they pretty?!!

An Update

Things have been a little crazy lately and I haven't gotten around to updating for awhile. Here are a bunch of random pictures I have been meaning to post.

My two crazy kids eating ice cream sandwiches.

I went in to get Cody up from his nap and he looked so cute sleeping that I couldn't resist taking a picture.

It's amazing how cute they can be when they are asleep!

Then he woke up and we got this...

Oh, how sweet!

Brylie just loves her baby sister.

I love this picture of her feet!

She already doesn't want her picture taken.

But I just can't quit taking pictures of her!

Yesterday we went swimming for the first time this year. We haven't been until now because of Brylie's tubes in her ears. The weather was so nice yesterday. It was like 85 degrees but had a cloud cover so it wasn't scorching hot. I wasn't sure how Cody was going to do at the pool. Last year he loved it, but its been awhile and I thought he would be a little scared. I was wrong. After a trip to the dollar store to get his matching Spiderman arm floaties and tube, he was set. He'd float out past the point where he could touch and then I would send Brylie out to tow him back in.
