Our Little Gymnast

Brayden started gymnastics in the fall and had her recital tonight. She was just a little excited.

Proud mom and dad!

(You'll have to excuse the quality of the following pictures. The gymnasium was obviously not made for momma's who want to take real quality pictures of their precious daughters at their first gymnastics recital. End of rant.)

This was when they announced her name. You could not have wiped the smile off of her face.

Doing a little dance...

Some forward rolls...

And cartwheels.

Getting her medal...

We are so proud of our little gymnast!

Happy Birthday Kenny

We started off Kenny's special day with breakfast in bed and then cards and a present.

Brayden wrote her own name on Kenny's card. Can you tell how impressed he was!?!

A disc golf set!!

And high fives all around. Grayson got a kick out of it!

Happy Birthday to my best friend, the love of my life, the best daddy to our children and an incredible man of God. I love you babe!

It Was Just a LITTLE Windy......

Kenny is in charge of a 1 mile walk/5K this weekend, so he took some time today to map out the course. The kids and I also went and enjoyed some fun in the WIND!! Check out their hair in these pics...there was quite a wind blowing today!

LIPS

I could kiss

A Birthday Blessing

I love a lot of things about Brayden's preschool (also where Kennan went and Grayson will go). One of the greatest things they do for each child every year is a birthday blessing. Since our princess has a summer birthday she has her blessing at the end of the school year. This year she also got to be the cross carrier that leads all of the students and staff into chapel.

Praying before the blessing (She attends an Episcopal day school so they do a lot of kneeling!)

Lighting her birthday candle.

Receiving her blessing along with another girl.

Then the staff and children sing "Happy Birthday".

What a fun day for Brayden! We are blessed to have her in our family!!

Mother's Day

I am so lucky to be the momma to these 3 cuties.

Some days I still can't believe that they are all mine {well, Kenny's too!!!).

My sweet Kennan Joshua made me a mom 6 years ago.

And my beautiful Brayden Lynn made me a mom again 3 1/2 years ago.

And 14 months ago I became mom again to my precious Grayson Benjamin.

This morning I was treated to breakfast and cards in bed. After church we came home for a yummy lunch of leftover KFC and this is the view I had...

After lunch was a wonderful long nap, followed by some cuddle time with the baby {who also had just woken up from a nap}. Later we played in the water and had a sandwich dinner.

What a wonderful day!!

Soccer!

After what felt like forever six weeks, soccer is over!

Great season Rockets!!

The Middle Child

Being the middle child, I feel like Brayden {sometimes} gets the short end of the stick.

Her older brother is involved in so much that he requires a lot time and attention.

Her baby brother is, well, a baby. Enough said.

I feel like there {sometimes} isn't enough time in the day to give her all the attention she deserves.

But we are working on it.

And it is worth every second.

{We don't call her "BRAY", it was just the start of spelling her name. Poor girl has a long one to learn!}

T-Ball!

Not much beats...

warm weather

a Friday night t-ball game

watching 5 and 6 year olds run from 1st to 3rd, instead of 2nd

baseball pants and too big helmets

It should be a great season!
