Swim Lessons

The last day of swim lessons is a fun day. 

A fun morning was had!

Soberfest and the 4th

The Saturday before the 4th we went to Soberfest at church along with 1600 other people.

Of course Brylee dressed for the occasion.

The kids consumed way to much sugar.

Face painting for the princess.

Found great friends to run around with.

Awesome bands to listen and dance to.

And of course a huge firework show.

I'm still a tad confused why the firework show is not on the 4th.  But then again no one asked me.

The kids preparing for the 4th.

Abby, Anna and Brylee always win best dressed on the 4th.

They partied the night away.

Some serious cuteness.

My little fireworks.

They could not wait until dark.

We went in to eat all the food Bryan had prepared all day.

Brett was the official firework lighter.

The all American girls eating their cherry pie.

Jake's favorite bud Tyler.

And of course everything is more awesome with Christina.

J was a crazy pyro who freaked his mother out most of the night.

The last firework of the night.

Baseball

This year is kid pitch ball.

Jake has not been hit with the ball yet....

But I'm sure it will happen.

Good thing he was paying attention, the ball was coming his way.

When you are 8 once in a while it is hard to concentrate.

But then your coach reminds you are playing baseball.

Another Boy in Braces

This is the last picture before we headed to the orthodontist.

When he was just a little guy he had a horrible bike spill and eventually had to had his baby tooth pulled.  His permanent tooth did not have guide on where to come in at and decided to come in too high.

When we arrived there was a little girl in the chair just screaming.  That made for one nervous boy.

I told the doctor that was not good for business.

But he survived.

One day later and he has decided he never wants to get them off.

He brushes like a fool, putting Brett to shame.

I Miss You So Much!

Anmol moved away to a small town not far away.

We no longer see her everyday.

Brylee is lost without her.

She misses her soooo much.

I miss her too.

They like to text each other and send videos.

I love looking back at what they text each other.

A self portrait for Anmol.

A text to show Anmol what she is wearing.

A text to show Brylee what she is wearing.

And best of all....

the video texts.

Friends

Brylee and McKinley were in the same Kindergarden class.

They were attached at the hips.

Kinley was able to bring her sister over to play also.

They had a blast.

 

Brylee, McKinley and Addyson

Brylee is one lucky girl to have such wonderful friends!
