Mrs. Ginny

Mrs. Ginny was Braden's K-4 teacher this year. We will miss her and the other teachers (Mrs. Tonya and Mrs. Lisa) in her room greatly next year. They were awesome teachers.

K-4 Graduation

Well...it's official, my baby boy is ready for real kindergarten. It saddens me that he's not a baby anymore, but I can enjoy him learning and becoming more independent.

Overall Good Citizen

Lexie earned Overall Good Citizen this year. We were so proud of her.

Shootin Hoops

Braden got very obsessed with basketball after riding to school with Marcy. Her son Ethan plays basketball and Braden would go out with him every afternoon and shoot hoops. That's when we decided to get a goal. We got a goal from Mr. Bobby and the kids love it!!! Thanks Mr. Bobby for the Sunkist basketball goal.

Braden-ism #2

Conversation on the night of June 2nd
Mom: Braden go get your p.j.'s so we can get ready for a bath.
Braden: I'm too tired, I don't want a bath.
Mom: I understand, but you need to wash your hiney...it might be dirty.
Braden: Mom, I don't need to take a bath tonight, it's SUMMER, it can wait until morning.

REALLY?!?

Hope you enjoyed the second installment of Braden-isms.

Braden-ism

Tuesday I fixed gumbo for dinner...Brandon and Braden loved it. Brandon just had one request, "Please cut the chicken pieces smaller". From that this conversation emerged.

Braden: "I don't know what you are talking, my chicken was small."
Mom: "Really was it?"
Braden: "NNOOO, I was being sarcastic."

Really, where does this come from?

Beauty and Brains

My baby girl, whom I've always has said is wise beyond her years or too smart for her own good, proved it this month. When Alabama children hit 2nd grade, they are put through a screening to see if they are gifted. Lexie went through this screening and it was determined that she is indeed gifted. Brandon and I are so proud. I guess when she does something totally off the wall now we can blame it on the fact that she's gifted and has now walking around sense. Just kidding, but sometimes I wonder if she really is paying attention.

Oh and for those inquiring minds that want to know, her I.Q. was 138. I know...wow.

It's Home...

for a short while anyway. We got the Mustang home today and Brandon is thrilled. He picked it up this evening. His first stop was by the other mechanic, the one who will put new tires and the exhaust on it. Then it should be permanently home. We couldn't be happier. I'm just glad to see him happy and not stressed about this. I thought that I would share my joy with you!!!

Cowboys Continued

I love these pics especially the one of Braden!!!

Cowgirl/Cowboy

The Kids had farm day at school. They could dress like a cowboy, farmer or farm animal. As you can see, they both chose to be a cowboy.

Well, in exactly 19 minutes Braden will be 5. He was born on April 10, 2005 @ 11:12. I can't believe that he is already 5. Where has the time gone? And I put pics of the cake just to give you a preview of the party. We are going to see How to Train your Dragon and then having cake and presents at the Theatre. Thanks Valeria for another amazing cake.
