Braxton

My cousin Erika gave birth to the sweetest little peanut! 

Braxton came over to visit when he was only 9 days old. Gah...I could have snuggled on him all night. 

The girls were good for about a picture which was good for me because I was able to baby hog. I fed him, changed his diaper, and snuggled more. 

What a little love!

First Swim of the Season!

These crazy girls enjoyed the first swim of the season. It was way too cold for the adults! Ha!

They finished the night wrapped in a towel on a raft or in the hot tub. Sounds about right!

Mudhens Game

Aunt Tammy won 4 tickets to the Mudhens game. 

She gave them to John and he took the girls and Aunt Emily. 

They had a wonderful time and I enjoyed a nice quiet night at home!

Addy's Graduation Luau

Addy Grace's official last day of preschool was also the graduation luau! 

We enjoyed yummy food and fun with our friends!

But then it was time so say goodbye. To our friends and our teachers. Addy was giddy, I was bawling like a baby. 

Ms. Ashley was her main teacher. She loved "Asaley"

I had a hard time saying good bye to Ms. Rachel. She was one of Ava's first teachers!! She has been with our family since the beginning. 

Ms. Pam was also around for both of my girls. 

I can't believe we are moving on to Kindergarten! But first, it's SUMMER!

Addy Grace Graduates Preschool!

My baby is officially done with preschool. She is completely ready to move on to Kindergarten. She has asked every day if she gets to ride the big girl bus! 

Graduation night came upon us and I made a pit stop on the way home. All Addy ever asks for is curly hair. So I stopped and bought hot rollers. She cracks me up!

The curls turned out so cute but didn't hold for long. We got through the ceremony with adorable waves. 

They came out first and sang a few songs for the families. Then went back to get ready for the big moment while we watched a video. 

This this happened. It was all I could do to get a good picture because she was skipping and hopping and just so excited!!

All ready to receive her diploma!

Our graduate!

We finished the night at El Camino where she was treated to fried ice cream! 

Now we have the summer to relax while we wait for the big girl bus. 

School's Out, School's Out

The teachers let MY monkeys out! 

I officially have a 3rd grader and a kindergartener. 

Ava Kate finished on Thursday and Addy finished on Friday!

They had gifts waiting for them at the door!

First and last day pictures. My sweet loves. 

Pottsies!

My neighbor invited to a fun night of painting and planting. We went to a local shop (which is so cute!) and joined a few other girls. 

This is what we started with. 

After painting, adding a color wash and planting succulents, this was the finished product!

I was super excited how they turned out! We did good!
