Splash Pad Fun!

I think I've earned the title..."Laziest Maternity Leave Blog Poster EVER"

I could have been doing an entry per day.....but instead, I've been enjoying these kiddos!  When I'm not with them (or they're napping), I'm snuggling that Brecken and trying to soak up every bit of sweetness that I can :)  There's something about Miss Brecken--I just can't get enough of her!  I enjoyed my first two babies, believe me.  I think it's that I now know that I won't ever do this again, and I'm truly enjoying every little bit of time I have with her.

Ok....now you know why I've stunk at blogging.  But the big kids are upstairs playing, B is sleeping, and the housecleaner was here yesterday....so no excuses--time to blog!

We went to the water park FOREVER ago.  The kids LOVED it!  Another item marked off the bucket list! :)

B slept through the first half of the splash pad time :)

Dancing!  Love this :)

Guess who woke up!! The many faces of sweet baby B!

PaPa sent us home with some watermelon, so we sliced it and took it out to the splash pad for a refreshing snack-yum!

When this girl fusses if she's held, just lay her down and she's good to go!  She's not as much of a snuggler as my first two.  She loves to just stretch out!

Slip N Slide Fun!

This heat has been incredible so far!  We broke out the slip n slide (and marked another item off of our summer bucket list), and the kids had a blast!

 You know he's focused when the tongue comes out the side of his mouth.....he gets that from Dadoo!

 This face cracks me up!

 PURE HAPPINESS!

We've been having a blast this summer!  Love having these kids at home :)  Makes me want to have EVERY summer off! (But, I'm not willing to have a baby every April to make that happen, so I'll have to make the most of this one! HA!)

6 weeks old!

Dadoo took the big kids to the lake this weekend, so Brecken and I have had some great 1 on 1 time together.  I seriously think I might rub this little girls cheeks out with my kisses....I can't get enough.  She is such a sweet baby, and is starting to dish out the smiles!  

Brecken Lynn, Mommy loves you so much!  You are such an angel baby.  I love all of the time we are getting to spend together, and I'm not ready to even think about going back to work :(  

You truly are a blessing to our entire family, and I cannot imagine my life without you in it, baby girl.  I love you so much!  Love, Mommy

Kindergarten Graduation

Anniston's elementary school had their kindergarten graduation at the High School 2 weeks ago.  They put on a precious program, and each child got their kindergarten graduation certificate.

The songs were so cute, and this one really had her dancing!

After graduation, Treyson greeted her with a hug and a surprise bouquet of flowers behind his back--what a sweet boy!

MaMa drove up the night before so she could be there to see the kindergarten graduate!

Our family of 5!

Dadoo and his princess

My sweet baby girl!  I cannot believe she is now in first grade--that just seems to bizarre to me.  I am so proud of the sweet girl she is.  She is so smart, and is excited to get to first grade to learn even more!  She decomposed up to the number 18, and learned 1,000 sight words.  She ended up being challenged to work on 1st grade "word phrases" and did 5 books with AR testing and scored 5/5 each time.

Anniston Leah,
We are so proud of the precious girl you are growing up to be.  You have such a kind and loving spirit to you.  You are such a sweet friend to those around you, and your smile is so contagious.  We love you sweet girl, and are so proud of you!
Love, Mommy and Dadoo
