Kindergarten Round-up

Tonight was Kindergarten Round-up at Centennial Elementary School where Brynn will be attending Kindergarten this fall. They started off with an informational presentation for the parents. Brynn met the principal who was very nice. She was hoping that her friend from  preschool and our neighbor would be there tonight, as she knew Rosha would be attending Centennial this fall, too. She did attend tonight as well and they both checked out the classrooms together. They were so excited. There are five Kindergarten classes, so we are unsure if they will end up in the same class come fall. I know they are hoping so. That would be so fun for them. Since there are five classes, they did have all five classrooms open to explore. The girls got so caught up in checking out each room, they only made it to three or four of the five. The school and classrooms reminded me of the school I went to as a kid, which was nice and comforting. There were a lot of things in the classrooms that the girls...

Birthdays, Playing, Cookies & Gymnastics...Whew!

Picture overload here, but thought I'd get caught up on what we've been up to the past week or so. Last Thursday we celebrated Daddy's birthday. Papa Kevin and Grandma Holly came up to celebrate with us and we went out to Texas Roadhouse, Daddy's favorite. Brynn was disappointed to find out Dad wasn't going to get on the saddle like she did for her birthday. Happy Birthday, Daddy! I don't have any pics, but Saturday was a busy day with friends over celebrating a few birthdays in April, plus my upcoming one in a couple of weeks. Throughout the day there were four babies under 8 months hanging out. We had fun loving 'em all up! Sunday was our quiet day at home, so we played, baked cookies and had movie night with popcorn. Baker Brynn getting ready to bake cookies. She was probably mid-song here. Hard to say! We watched "Brave." One of the few Disney princess movies we haven't seen yet.   I ha...

Wacky Wednesday

Today was 'Wacky Wednesday' at preschool. I guess this is pretty open to interpretation. So, this was our take on it. I love these different themed days they have; it is so fun. We chose Brynn's outfit last night, and she was really excited for Wacky Day when she woke up this morning. I think she was definitely one of the wackiest looking there this morning.

Butterfly Ball

Yesterday Brynn and Dana attending the Butterfly Ball again. This year Brynn asked if I would do her hair instead of going to the salon. I'm not the best at doing hair, but she was happy with how it turned out. Last year I missed out on getting a picture of her applying her lip gloss in the mirror, so this time I made sure to have my camera ready. I was so glad I did; they are my favorite pics from the night. It's just so Brynnie to be making sure her lip gloss is on just right.  Daddy said he would take her out to eat; anywhere she wanted to go...even pasta! For many days leading up the ball, she had decided on McDonald's (or MichaelDonald's as she still calls it). At the last minute, though, she changed her mind to Subway. So, that's where they went. They had a great time again and she hardly got in the door before she started telling me about their night. They played all her favorite songs, and she told me she made a couple friends. I told her to...

The Weekend

We had a busy, but nice weekend around home. Friday night we had our friends, Ryan and Tina, over with their seven-month-old baby. She is so cute and sweet. She and Brynn had a lot of fun together. I don't have pics, but on Saturday Brynn and I also attended a baby shower for Dana's cousin's wife at Grandma Holly and Papa Kevin's house. Also on Saturday, my parents drove up for the day to take in the Toppers Car show and met us for lunch and came over for supper.  We had a nice, relaxing day today baking bread and making a cake and cupcakes. Brynn and Molly Another game of Memory. Brynn loves to play, but REALLY hates to lose. :-) Brynn just loves to give Daddy breakfast in bed. And this morning she wanted to bring him his cereal. I think we woke him up. Surprise, Dad!  Daddy loves a good back scratchin'.  My sister had bought me one of my favs: cinnamon swirl bread from Bread Poets in Bismarck. We polished it off last week and...
