another one done

Brady had a  graduation/award ceremony for his preschool last week!  Some of the kids will be going to Kindergarten so they graduated and the others celebrated their year and the fact they get to come back!  Brady had so much fun at preschool this year and I really can’t say enough about Linda and the amazing program she’s built!  She recruits great students and does a great job providing a fun environment for these kiddo’s to learn in.  

waving to his fans

Brady got the show and tell award…which is quite comical considering many days I forgot it was show and tell and had to find things in my office for him to take!!! 

The teachers led them through their normal morning routine for the parents to see and then they sang a few of their favorite songs from the year.

baby alligator…..doo doo

DADDY alligator…this was by far the favorite song!  He had a great time singing it to Karsyn and Kaden that night 

the felt board story.  Each preschooler had a picture that was part of the story…they got to put it on the board when it was their turn

the caterpillar ate 1 pickle

sweet friends!!!   Boston and Brady had a great time together this year!  I foresee many play dates with Boston this summer!!

family day

Sunday’s are notoriously family days at the Brewer house!  Sunday before last we took advantage of some great weather and spent most of the day outside!  We busted out the slip n slide and even set up the pool at the foot of the slide!  HOURS of entertainment!!

 

We were in the back yard…swimsuits optional…for babies!!!

a little concerned about the water hitting his small belly!

now VERY concerned!!

sliding down a wet slide into a baby pool…who knew it could be so much fun!

what’s fun forward must be fun backwards!

sweet Karsyn relaxing in the shade!  She wasn’t interested in the water….and considering she has her mothers fair skin we opted for no sun!!  And yes I’m aware that all my k-town girls are picturing the spring break trip of ‘94 where I might have been a little sunburned……stop laughing.

 

my boys!

I’m pretty sure this would be when Brady was yelling…. “NO take my picture mommy”

 

and my new FAVORITE pictures!!! 

Daddy and his princess!!!  Is that smile not priceless???

mothers day treat

Brady’s class had a special breakfast for the mommy’s!!  It was such a treat to have breakfast with my little man!  Their teachers served us fruit, muffins, and pie (quiche) and there were lots of goodies waiting on the tables for us as we sat down!

my seat with my sweet place mat, flower and present! 

my date….doesn’t he look thrilled!

me and my little man

I had a wonderful mothers day!  Jeff and the kids brought me breakfast in bed and pampered me all day!!  I’m definitely a lucky woman!  Thank you Jeff for making me feel so special on my day!

Just a not so cute pic of me and the kids on mothers day…please excuse my hair and pay attention only to my kids and the cute mothers day present they made me!!

little builder

The first Saturday of every month, Home Depot offers a free building class for kids!  They have all the materials and tools out for them and they show the kids how to build something different every month.  I don’t know who was more excited to find out home depot did this, Brady or Jeff!!!  Jeff loves to do anything involving tools, so he was fired up to share this with Brady.  He was even more fired up to find out that Lowes does this same thing…and the times are staggered….so yes, next month the plan is to hit home depot and then hit lowes on the way home!!  Good thing Brady loves this!!

Ready to build!

goggles and hammer…what more could any boy need!

hard at work!

The finished product!

I’m so excited they have a monthly “date” to do this together!  I can’t wait to see the future projects!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy

Wednesday was Daddy’s 29th birthday!! We won’t say how many 29th birthday’s he celebrated….but this one sure was fun!!!  We started our day off as usual with homemade birthday waffles!!  Unfortunately his birthday was on a workday so the birthday waffles were a little rushed, but they were still yummy!  After work, my little helpers and I made daddy cupcakes and his favorite dinner, chicken parmesan! 

I had the best helpers in the world!

all ready with their spoons in hand! 

Master Chef Brady

 

Kaden was more excited that he figured out how to open the drawer by himself

a little taste testing

I turn my back for 1 second and this is what my little sweet tooth does……

 

What???

I didn’t eat any batter mommy…what are you talking about?

 

The finished product!  On the birthday plate of course!

singing happy birthday to daddy

time for cupcakes!

 

Happy birthday to the most amazing husband and father.  We are so lucky to have you in our lives.  Your dedication to your family is inspiring and I love you!  I look forward to many more special birthdays!

pre - birthday celebration

The Monday before Daddy’s birthday we packed up and headed to Kemah to celebrate with Grandma!  We had a great dinner outside by the water, and everyone did great!! 

The K’s put on quite a show and actually looked at the camera…at the same time!!    

can you see the “tude”?  I’m telling you, this girl is quiet and laid back, but she’s HYSTERICAL!!

Sweet momma’s boy!  look closely and you can see his tooth!

Karsyn signing for more!!  Not sure what she wanted more of, but we’re so proud that she’s using her signs!

Birthday boy and his mom!

after dinner we all rode the train and daddy and brady did the big boy ride!

Kaden on his first train ride!

The “up and down ride” as Brady calls it.  It seriously pulls you way up and then let’s you drop…..

I got this mom

is that joy or fear?!?!

I think he likes it!   

We had a great time!  Thanks grandma for the birthday celebration!! Stay tuned for more brewer birthday traditions!!!
