School's Out!

Braden officially completed the preschool year and is now going to enjoy the summer program with the kindergartners...yikes! He is pumped up about all the fun he will have in his new class.

He will miss Ms. Rola's hugs....

and Ms. Mandie's kind words about him.
Braden sang his heart out at the end of the year program. As usual, he tried to sing the loudest to make sure we heard every word to every song.
Nothing like a hot dog on a warm summer evening after all that singing and looking cute!

Third Time's a Charm

Charley turned 3 years old, so we partied at a park. Braden was thrilled to help Charley celebrate his big day.

We were entertained by Braden's enthusiasm and determination to break the pinata.

His determination and powerful swing wasn't quite enough to break it open...then Uncle John-Paul told us it was unbreakable and pulled a string to release the candy. Where's the fun in that??!
Checking out and comparing the loot!
Miles is always willing to flash his pearly whites....
But Charley? Not so much...

Braden tried to talk us into letting him have a few cake pops since they weren't as big as a slice of cake. Nice try buddy!

Gotcha Charley! He couldn't help but smile as he played endlessly in the jumper.

Just a good ol' fashioned cousin beatdown. Wrestling in the jumper wore these boys out!

Was Uncle Matt offering some advice to Charley? Yep! He was talking him into trying to eat ALL of the candy in the bag from the pinata.

Wishing Charley a wonderful new year!
