Twinning!

Brielle has a new friend from school names Reese. They've been playing a lot together lately and when they found out they had the same swimsuit they had to go swimming and go twinning!

 

Minerettes

We are loving watching Brooklyn have so much fun with the drill team. She is exhausted all the time and practices non stop, but she is living the dream right now. These are pics from the assembly the performed at and another half time.

 

Swim Party

We invited Josh's cousins to bring their kids over to swim. It was a lot of fun and the kids had a blast!

 

Teacher Meeting

I've been doing a lot of work for the studio trying to help things get a little more organized. We had our beginning of the year staff meeting and it went great! 

 

Hale

The Brauns have season tickets and invited us to come to a play at Hale Center Theater. It was a little slow and different than we expected but still really good!

 

Highlights

We weren't able to get a hair appointment before school started but we finally were able to get it done and Brynlee loves it! She's my only dark haired child so she had fun putting in some cute highlights. All ready for middle school!

 

New Swing

I got a new swing a while ago but never put it up. I finally figured out how to do it using the monkey bars and Britney is in heaven. I keep finding her downstairs swinging and swinging. 

 

First Days of School

Here we are again! Another year older and these kids couldn't be happier to be starting school. Brayden failed the first day of school picture...a t-shirt and a hat? Nope. I made him get a haircut and redo his 1st day picture. The rest of them passed.

Brayden - 11th grade

Brooklyn - 10th grade

Brynlee - 7th grade

Brielle - 5th grade

Britney - 3rd grade

 

HOCO

I still can't believe I have 2 kids in high school. I'm not sure that I'm ready to have a GIRL in high school. But ready or not she's there and it's happening. She got asked to HOCO by a kid she doesn't even know. Guess that's what comes with being a Minerette lol.

 

Celebrating Samantha

For family Sunday we started off at the cemetery to celebrate Samantha. I can't believe she would be turning 10 years old. It's hard to imagine she's been gone for 10 years, but we know we will be able to see her again. I love the Plan of Salvation that gives us hope that we will see our loved ones again.
