Ten-Eleven-Twelve

10-11-12

The day my baby turned 6 years old!

Up early...still tired but ready to get this birthday started. 

A Hello Kitty Karaoke Machine.  MiMi and Grandpa Jim know their girl.

Brylee chose a birthday party instead of a $100 bill so she got one present from mom and dad. As you can tell Build-a-Bear Hello Kitty was on her wish list!

The Loot. 

An early morning concert. 

Hair styled with her cupcake birthday clip. 

Feeling good! 

My baby! 

Just a little excited. 

A birthday kiss from brother Jake. 

All ready for school. 

Birthday Lunch. 

Cupcakes for Kindergarden.

Lots of pink mouths in class! 

Next stop...a Chuck E Cheese Birthday Party with her 15 closest friends. 

Abby, Brylee and McKinley

Anmol and Brylee. 

Pizza Time. 

Because my boys also have October birthdays and chose a $100 bill over a birthday party, I decided to let them go into the ticket blaster. 

May be the last time I can talk Brett into holding a Chuck E Cheese balloon. 

 

Cake...round 2.  

Making a wish. 

Wowsers!  Look at all those friends. 

Finally...the ticket blaster. 

 

Brylee was afraid of the ticket blaster and sent Anmol in her place. 

Last but not least...present time! 

Brylee says, "Thank you for all the presents!"

What a Crazy, Busy Fun Filled 6 year old Birthday!

Good night my 6 year old!

I love you more than you will ever know!

Happy Birthday!

Laundry

Imagine you are almost 12...

Have never done a complete load of laundry in your life...

You come home from school...

Walk past the laundry room...

And your Mom hung a new sign in the laundry room...

You read the sign...

Go find your Mom...

and with Big Eyes ask...

"Is that sign in the laundry room really true?"

MiMi and Grandpa Jim

Best Days Ever when Mama and Jim come to visit!

Grandpa Jim was the best sport ever as he took the first trip through the lunch line to eat lunch with his girl Brylee.  He was a trooper eating the most delicious tomato soup with an itsy bitsy spoon.

2nd trip through the line to eat with Jake.  Oh yea walking tacos this time.

Jacob now knows how to kick a football the right way.  Grandpa is a Great Football Coach!

Breakfast while the kids are in school.  And only my Mom can order off the senior menu for me.

These two are great examples of what an Amazing marriage looks like.

Next stop shooting lessons for Mom at Gander Mountain.  

Watch out you criminals she is not afraid to shoot!

Until next time.......

I Love You

My Baby is at her first day of Kindergarten....all day long....right now as I type.  She was only a little nervous.  I wrote I love you on her hand and told her to look at it if she was nervous or missed me. I know one thing, I sure miss her and her brothers!

Last year Brett watched out for Jake at school.  He was the strong, brave big brother.  Now Brett has moved on to Middle School  

This morning I tried to tell Jake it was now his turn to take care and protect Brylee....make sure she has someone to sit with on the bus....make sure she wasn't scared when she got off the bus...make sure she has a friend at 1st recess.  If you know Jake he is is a feisty one!  I heard "I know, I know Mom."  To say the least not a very reassuring big brother.  And lets be honest I forced him to hold her hand for the above picture.

They jumped on the bus...notice Jake not paying much attention to his little sister behind him.  But Brylee was fine.  She did not even look back.  She jumped right on!

Poor Brett is sick today.  On the way to the doctor we stopped by the school to spy on the Jake and Brylee.  Brylee was running around holding hands with several girls and was just fine.  And guess what Jake was doing?  That's right, he was following her every step.  Not trying to play with her just guarding her, protecting her.  Just like the AWESOME big brother he is.

And a picture yesterday of my Brett walking down to catch the bus at 6:44 am....that actually forgot to pick up this entire block.  It was a nice long 35 minute wait on the first day of school.  This year he looked so little standing with a bunch of High Schoolers....he was the only kid in Middle School at the bus stop.  Brett was a nervous wreck about starting Middle School.  I am very proud of him.  He faced his fears jumped on that bus and walked into the Great Big Middle School and had the best first day of Middle School.
