A Sigh of Relief and a Birthday Shout Out...

We can finally breathe a sigh of relief in our household!!! Our crazy month of August has FINALLY come to an end!! Brayden is here, Kenny's internship is over, and today he finished his exams! What a relief to be done with these major events! I am so proud of Kenny. He has worked so hard this month (especially the last 2 weeks). Throughout all of the stress, he continued to be an excellent father and husband, while trying to be a good student as well. Tonight we had a celebratory dinner to congratulate those who finished the exams. Here are a few pictures from tonight...

The excited PTSEM seniors who finished!!
YIPPEE!!
The even more excited spouses and significant others of those who finished!
Brayden wasn't too impressed with the party...
Kennan wasn't too impressed with the party either, but he had a blast on the playground.

This is Kennan with "Picky"...see previous post :)

Now for my birthday shoutout...

Happy Birthday Mom!

Yesterday was my mom's birthday. I am so blessed to have a mom that is also my best friend. It hasn't always been that way...I can remember times in middle school and high school when I wasn't exactly the best daughter. Ever since I went off to college, my relationship with my mom has continued to grow. She is a great listener and always has good advice. She is an incredible Grammy to Kennan and Brayden and a great mother-in-law to Kenny. I know it has been hard on her (and the other grandparents) for us to be so far away. Not once has she made me feel guilty about being 2000 miles away, rather she has encouraged us to grow as a family. She knows how important it is for Kenny to get his degree and she has been so supportive. For that I am so grateful! I can't wait until we move back to Texas so that mom and I can start scrapbooking together again and so that she can see her grandbabies more often. I love you mom!! Thanks for all you have done for me!
