Dad and Sis went to a car show tonight. Not sure who had more fun. Brenley loves car shows!!!

When We Grow Up - Class of 2026

I'm not sure I could love this anymore if I tried. Brenley came home with this today. All her classmates with signs of what they will be when they grow up. My Gardener.....

School Year 2015/2016

And so it begins....

Brenley May is in the 2nd grade. Her teacher's name is Mrs. Harden and so far, she loves her! At Meet The Teacher night she had so energy and positivity! I was immediately impressed. 

Day 1 Brenley came home telling me that Mrs. Harden was the nicest woman in the  world! I think we have a keeper for the school year! She also really likes her Music teacher. At least we are off to a solid start! 

Beau starts the 7th grade. A year that begins school sports as well. He also came home excited about his schedule and his teachers. He has been a little disappointed that his best buds are not in any of his classes nor his lunch period, but he is adapting okay. He has three lockers (and combinations) to keep up with - one for school, one for PE, and one for Football - but we think (hope) he can adapt okay. 

I'm already so proud of these kids and I wish them a very happy and fun and successful school year! 

Weekend in OKC

Took a quick family trip to OKC for a quick family getaway before school started. Shopping, Dodgers game, KD's restaurant, and the Bombing Memorial. Anytime we can just be together as a family is always precious time. 

Beau is 12!!!!

I cannot believe our baby boy is 12. He makes us crazy sometimes, but overall, he is really a great kid. He has genuine concern about other people, he is getting so personable around others. He is starting to like golf, which we love! His sports trivia and general sports knowledge is amazing to me. How he knows such detail is really impressive. 

He makes his sister crazy. He is nutso about his dog (as we all are). He admires his Dad to no end. And every once in awhile, he wants the biggest and longest hugs from his mama. 

Oh. And this boy loves to eat and has a sweet tooth that rivals his mama's!

I love every inch of him. 

And just like that..... Summer 2015 is over

Holy moly. Where did the time go? It seems like yesterday I was on care.com trying to find some help getting Beau around to camps in June.... And now......kids are back to school.

So what did we do? Actually, besides baseball, we didn't do a lot more outside of that, which is a little disappointing. Now, don't get me wrong... We tried to make sure the kids were busy and engaged and happy..... But did we vacation? No. Did we have fun little weekend getaways? Not really. But we did manage to head to OKC for a quick trip to celebrate Beau's birthday. 

I'll get to those pictures later. In the meantime, here is some randomness....
