Preschool Graduation

I’m not quite sure how it happened, but my baby graduation from preschool!  The ONLY thing that kept this momma from completely losing it (don’t get me wrong I cried) is that Brady will not be starting Kindergarten next year.  Jeff and I decided that with an August birthday we were just more comfortable holding him back one more year to make sure he’s ready.  He will be going to a private pre-k 4, 5 days a week near our house! He’s excited and this momma is excited that she doesn’t have to drop her baby off at Kindergarten….yet!

Sweet Brady, mommy and daddy are so proud of you!  Proud of the big boy you’ve become right before our eyes.  We’re proud of what a sweet tender heart you have, and we’re proud of your silly, goofy disposition!  We cannot wait to see what God has in store for you next year!

My little graduate!

Each kid receives a special award that highlights something they did/do well and etc.  Brady and his buddies Dylan, and Jaedon got the buddy award!  These boys have become great friends and are inseparable!  And now we have the certificate to prove it!

Where did the time go?

Brady and Grandma…who made the huge sacrifice of picking Brady up after school everyday.  He loved his time in the car with Grandma and I’m sure he’s going to be disappointed next year when I pick him up!!  Thanks again Grandma!

Mrs. Smith –words can’t express how thankful we are for this lady.  She does an amazing job with this program and is truly a gift from God!

Mother’s Day

The Wednesday before Mothers day,  Brady’s preschool had a breakfast with Mom.  It was so fun to get some one on one time with my little man!  Linda does a great job of having the kids make special presents for their moms and really makes it fun for us and the kids!

Me and my oldest baby!  Can’t believe he’ll be 5 in august

On mothers day Jeff and the kids pampered me all day long!  We didn’t get to church because Kaden had a pretty bad cough, but I got breakfast in bed, an awesome necklace and Brady cleaned the house for me!

After naps, we went to Grandma’s and swam for a little bit and then headed out to dinner at Ichibons…my favorite hibachi bar!

The kids had a great time watching the show!

I have the best husband in the world that works so hard to make me feel special and appreciated on Mothers day!!

Love you Honey!

March for Babies 2012

We did the March of Dimes March for Babies again this year!  I was super excited this year because one of my former students works for March of Dimes and was in charge of the family teams.  She did an amazing job and she talked one of my other former students into volunteering.  It was fun to introduce the babies to these amazing girls!  Shelby and Lauren you’re awesome, thanks for making a difference! 

This was another one of the events that my camera didn’t work for but here are a few phone pics to commemorate the occasion!

The reasons we walk!

catching up

Oh my mercy am I behind on my blog!  I’m going to attempt to catch up over the next few days.  My camera has been acting up so a lot of these pictures are coming from my phone BUT…they’re pictures!!  Here’s a few random phone pics to show what the twins have been up to lately!
