Brayden's first day of Pre-K

Brayden had his first day of Pre-K today. He only went for half of the time with half of the kids. Tomorrow all the kids will be there for the full 3 hours so I'm sure I'll have more stories then. So far he likes his class and has made some new friends. Here is a picture of him standing by his locker with Colin (he was in his class last year). I didn't have a locker until middle school! I couldn't really get any good pictures - they wouldn't look at me long enough! Brianna wanted to stay at school with her brother! Next year...
His class is called the FROGS (fully rely on God)!

Family night

Tonight we went to Chick-Fil-A for family night - kids eat free with each adult combo, a visit from the cow, and free face painting! Brianna wanted to be a princess - she loved her face tonight!
Brayden wanted Spongebob!
Brianna is getting brave with mascots!
Brayden giving the cow a great hug! Brayden starts Pre-K tomorrow! Stay tuned for picture from his first day!

Slip and slide!

We went to the State Fair today with a bunch of Gogis' and Harmon's.

Tickle Tickle!

Look at Brayden being so brave!

Beijing 2008 swimmers

Here's Brianna taking a Nestea plunge! Brayden with his teacher Mimi.
He does better without the yellow bubble belt!
Cheese!


Brayden finished swim lessons tonight! Here's a video of him swimming freestyle - kind-of hard to see. Ever since he let me put goggles on him he's been swimming like a fish!
Here is a video of Brianna showing off her moves in the pool - her twist and her flip! (By the way, she had another perfect potty day today! And she is surviving without her "nummy"! ) Looks like Gary is smoking a cigar! It's really just a dive stick!
Cannonball!

Singing in the rain!

Last night we had a lot of rain and this morning it was still raining off and on. Brayden and Brianna have been taking turns getting the morning newspaper - so this morning I decided to let them go out with their own umbrellas - I thought it was so cute I had to take a picture! Brianna update:
Today was her first perfect potty day!!! She didn't have a single accident. She got a ton of stickers, special treats, and phone calls from her favorites (Dora, Boots, Tasha...) We are making some serious progress! She has had 2 dry nights in a row too. Hopefully, she does as well tomorrow!
"Nummy" update:
She slept great the last 2 nights after some serious crying (that lasted 30 minutes or less). First day she completely skipped her nap. Today she took a nap but she was pretty upset about it at first. Now, tonight she is quiet - she only cried for 5 minutes - however I still hear her rolling around awake (it's almost 10 pm). Anyway, she's growing up! She talks about her nummy but I just keep telling her she threw it away and she is a big girl now!
Here's a picture of her playing with her puppy playdough.

We went to the zoo on a special night - they had jazz music, food, mascots, and free train rides. That was pretty fun!
