T-BALL CHAMPION

Don't you just love the way he has his foot turned?
This summer marked the first of the Baseball (T-Ball) seasons.

Dain coached and Dade LOVED it. Special father and son time.

We were lucky enough to have most all our games at 8:00am as to avoid the crazy heat.
This is Dade waving to me (I arrived a little late for this game).

His smile makes everyone melt.

Get After it Slugger!!!

He was always ready and in it. He would call out to the team to be ready.

He loves to play First Base. I was quite surprised how well he understood the game. I guess my games of GhostRunner Baseball on the front lawn really paid off.

See? Always ready.

Sweaty, Hot and Happy.

End of Season celebration with the family. Aislyn took this picture of him.

The end of season party was at the fountain park. This is a picture of Dade getting his coaches accolades.
The boys had a great time!!!

INDEPENDENCE DAY

This picture melts my heart. When I think of the 4th of July I will always remember this picture.

We went to the City of Flower Mound's Freedom Festival. There we bounce houses, carnival games and most importantly...food.

Grayer was such a good sport. Just chillin' in the stroller snacking on his Cheerios.

Always making sure Mom is watching.

Dade didn't want to ride this ride. "I'm too big for this." I told him we were waiting in line for AZ and the next thing you know...He is loving it.

Cute Little Hands.

Cute Little Face.
Happy 4th of July...a month late.

BRINKERHOFF FAMILY REUNION

This year the Brinkerhoff Family Reunion was in the Texas Hill Country. The kids had a blast sleeping in the "cabins", which were nothing like cabins:), eating themselves silly, staying up late and playing with cousins. A good example of the last captured in the above picture.

My kids just can't get enough time in the water.
After playing in the pond we took a train ride around the park. I can't remember now why we changed Gray into pjammies, but doesn't he look cute?

AZ was very excited to get to sit by Uncle Scott.

Just one more picture of my cuteness.

We spent a day at Sea World. We started off the day at the water park and them moved on to watching the shows. Aislyn LOVES beluga whales (she picked out a stuffed animal beluga when she was 18 months and she has to sleep with it every night). This is a picture of her watching the beluga whale show.

Grayer clapping along with the rest of us.

I think Aislyn has found her calling in life.

GRAYER IS 1...A FEW WEEKS AGO

These first few pictures are from the end of May. I just forgot to get them in other posts.
You can always find Grayer getting into something...anything.

Please note the different pjammies. Yes, these pictures are from two different days. In fact I could probably take a picture like this everyday.

This picture and the next are from his birthday party. This one likes cake!!!

And mashing cake looks to be just as fun.

These three pictures are from his actual birthday. We were on the Brinkerhoff Family Reunion for his first birthday.

ALL SMILES!!!!

A little fun in the sun.
I can't believe that my baby isn't a baby anymore. It's true that time just seems to go by faster and faster.
Happy Birthday Little One!

AZ'S DANCE RECITAL




She is my Little Sunshine!

She still runs around the house saying "tendu" (I have no idea if that is spelled right).

Joy, Joy, JOY!!!

What a great group of girls. We are so blessed.

Thank you Ms. Jen!

PRE-K GRADUATION


Here he is! Our little (to be) Kindergartner. I can't believe we are already here...how did we get here this fast?

He still loves me!!!

And AZ!

If the past five years have gone by this fast, how fast will the next?

Best Friends!

I love his smirk.

Bye Bye Preschool. Hello Kindergarten.
