Newest feat!

It always amazes me the little things that Brody is able to do now that he is getting so much bigger! Seriously, the small things like making his bed, helping out with chores and his brother and sister, even making a sandwich!! Here's the first sandwich that he made on his own...

Our new obsession!

Brody has been working really hard to earn and save enough money to get a Nintendo DS. Finally after his birthday this year he was able to have enough. He has been loving it and (thankfully) letting his little brother have a few turns here and there. So, when Beau's birthday rolled around he had enough money, with the money he still had from Christmas.... to get his own. So, now mom has the exciting job of controlling how much Nintendo time that they both have! They love them though and they certainly make car rides a little bit calmer! :)

Last Day of Kindergarten!

Brody's last day of school was today... I can't believe that he is going to be in 1st grade next year - time has just flown by!! He had a wonderful year and a fantastic teacher... I hope that every year goes as well as this year did!

Brody - first day of school!


Brody - last day of school!

Beau's 4th Birthday!

Our Memorial Day tradition is to head over to my sister Ronnie's for the day with friends and family. Since Beau's birthday has fallen so close to (or on) Memorial Day, we have been combining the fun. The day started out a little chilly but turned out beautiful. We all had lots of fun spending time together!

Kindergarten Celebration

Today is Brody's last day of school and yesterday they had a little program to celebrate the end of the year. They did plays, sang songs and received certificates. It was nice to be able to share it with Brody. I can't believe that he is going to be in 1st grade next year...

Jammin out!


Singing their songs...

Smile!

Braxton started smiling here and there a few weeks ago, but they are out in full force now! Here are a few times that I caught him smiling... As you can tell by the pictures he is starting to fill out quite a bit! :)

Great Grandkids...

We headed over to Barnum Minnesota to visit my aunt and uncle. They recently built a new house, celebrated their 25th anniversary, had a son graduate from college and a few birthdays to throw in their also! It is about a 3 hour drive that we don't make often enough so when we all get there it is something special!! Everyone in our family made it except for Rusty, Quentin and Grandpa... Pretty impressive for a family of our size!! Here are all of my grandparents GREAT-grandkids - 20 so far...
