Brayden's Graduation!

Many tears and many smiles! Although we have three days left of school, Brayden's preschool graduation was held this afternoon. It was such a sweet little ceremony! The only pictures that did not turn out well were the ones of us on stage with Brayden in his cap and gown :( The flash wasn't on so they are all blurry...fitting because that was the state of my vision for most of the ceremony due to tears!

The teachers had handed us a paper when we got there to fill out entitled "We are proud of you because...". Unbeknowst to us, when each child was called up for his/her gown and diploma, the teachers had their family join them and read what they wrote aloud to their child. We were called first and, needless to say, Daryl read ours--I was crying too much! Nothing like a quivering, blubbering voice that no one can understand. Daryl did a great job and rescued me from the embarrassment :) Many moms and dads who followed were "wibbly", so I wasn't alone!

It was a great afternoon to top off a great school year. Now if I can only get through sending him off to Kinder...

Meanwhile...back at the ranch:

Savannah loves her "new" boots and insists on wearing them most everywhere:




Sophia is into wearing everyone's shoes--especially Brayden's beloved boots. Savannah, being the "accessorizer" of the bunch, added the hat and Phia was happy as a cowgirl on the open range:





Brayden and Savannah are livin' on and lovin' the trampoline--we have to finish it off by putting the netting around it:





Daddy's been busy putting the doors on the rentals (with Momma's help at times) and happy to have many of the spaces occupied (note: all of these doors are now on--this is the night we started!):




And Momma's happier than words can ever express to be done with this torture! NO MORE BRACES!! Gotta love the cheek retractors:




What is new on your frontier??
