Sippin' and Strokin'

We had SOOOO much fun at Sips-N-Strokes last night! All of our paintings ended up SO cute! This has to become something that we do often! If you've never been it is definitely something you should add to your list of Things to do! After we finished up there we headed to Buffalo Wild Wings for some munchies.. Which was also very fun and very funny! Good times!! :0)

Mothers of little boys..

Have to prepare themselves for LOTS of climbing and jumping off of things.. There is just no stopping a boy.. No matter what I say or do, he continues to scare the living crap out me climbing and jumping.. I got some pictures yesterday to show everyone just how wild he is..

New favorite song.. Bomshel~ Fight like a girl

"Hold your head high.Don't ever let 'em define The light in your eyes.Love yourself, give them Hell.You can take on this world.You just stand and be strong And then fight Like a girl."



Great Lyrics! Words to live by!

My little bulldog

With moving comes many things.. Some good, some not so good.. One of the downsides to "relocating" is having to change schools.. :( We officially said goodbye to BB Comer yesterday.. Everyone was sad to see her go.. I loved her being in such a warm and welcoming environment.. We spent awhile sitting with her Kindergarten teacher and talking about the past year and the year ahead.. I know she is ready for whatever comes her way.. Shes a smart girl, a tough cookie and she is now, a Montevallo Bulldog..

We packed up.....

And moved to a BIGGER house! HALLEJULAH! :)

May freedom forever ring...

My little graduate...

My sweet baby graduated Kindergarten Friday.. It was also very bittersweet.. I cannot believe she is 6 and going to first grade.. Even typing it just now was weird for me.. ugh... The precious Kindergartners put on such a good show for us, we laughed and of course we cried.. Lindsay and I were a mess, big babies.. Just seeing her up there in her cap and gown all grown up was a shot to my heart.. First grader or not, shes still my baby.. The lighting in the auditorium was horrible of course, so my pictures didn't turn out very well.. I did get about 9 videos, I promise not to put all nine on here.. She was very sad to leave her teacher, she cried so hard that the other parents were pointing and whispering, oh well, shes just tenderhearted.. Here are the pictures of my baby's last day in her Kindergarten room, and the cupcakes I made for her..

=(

I have no pictures for this update.. It is bittersweet for me, but after 20 months of it being his very best friend, my Brax has let go of his "pap pap"... It has been exactly 7 days today since he has had it.. Sometimes I want to give it back to him because its just so cute but I know it is best.. BOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO........... WAH WAH WAH!! Ok im done.. Pappy is gone.. Goodbye pappy..

Sweet

I love these three pictures together.. Braxton walking alone, Hayden walking alone, and then the two of them walking hand in hand.. The way Braxton is looking back at me is just precious.. I have these framed and hanging up now..

Happy Birthday to Hayden

Haydens actual birthday was interrupted by the gymnastics show, so on the 9th we just had a small party at home.. She had birthday pancakes for breakfast and a funfetti cake! We had her party for the whole family on the 16th at Uncle Stevies house.. It was a stormy/rainy day but we got through it..

catching up is hard to do..

I have alot of catching up to do.. here goes..



Gymnastics Show:
The end of the year gymnastics show was on May 9th, this is a chance for all the gymnasts to show parents, etc. what all they learned during the year... At the end of the show Hayden got the award for "Most fearless gymnast"..

What Summer Brings...

I feel like I dont blog enough lately so Ive made a promise to myself to post one picture a day for a month.. Everyday im just going to post a new picture of the things that summer brings.. Lets see if I can do it...

Day 1..

Summer Brings:

POPSICLE FACES

Bubbles..

The kids had fun blowing bubbles one day last week.. I was able to get some funny pictures of both of them..

MOO...

Braxton has a new fascination with cows, so one day last week we hit the road in search of some that he could get close to.. Well, we found some on a dirt road back in the hills somewhere.. There was an old iron fence that he could peek through and he LOVED it! He couldn't believe he was THAT CLOSE to a COW! It was all fun and games until one "mooed" and then he took off running, I got a picture of him running to me.. After the first "moo" he was fine with it, he would just giggle every time.. After our little adventure we had to go buy a cow baby (as he calls it) so he could be with his special friends all the time.. =)

And now..

She's such a big girl.. And so VERY BEAUTIFUL!!

Cap and Gown makes mommy frown.. =(

Yes it does... To think that my sweet little baby is graduating Kindergarten makes me feel like the past 6 years have FLOWN by.. Ive probably heard 100 times from complete strangers that, "They grow up fast" and they really do.. I know there are many years to come but where have the last 6 gone??? My mom always used to tell me she wanted us to stay little forever.. Now I know why.. I had to get out my disc's of old pictures and videos.. These are just a few that bring me back to those precious days..

Family

We went to a family cookout at Lindsays house today, the kids had a blast as they always do.. Kudos to Tonya for thinking to bring the snow cone machine, the kids LOVED it and it made for some cute pictures.. =)
