Brogen's Preschool Graduation!!

Brogen is getting so big so fast and on this past Tuesday, the 24th, he reached the first of many big achievements in his life...he graduated Pre-school! He has grown and learned so much over this past school year and is so smart it amazes me daily. He can write his full name, first and last, he can spell, he can count to 200, he can write his numbers, he knows his phone number, the days of the week, and months of the year, colors, shapes, he's starting to read small words, etc etc etc...and so much more I cant even name it all. His teacher, Miss Marcie, did a wonderful job and really took the time to teach the most important things to all her young students. We are so glad that we picked Wee Wonders for him to go too. The little Graduation ceremony was so sweet, they sang some of their favorite songs and then each kid got a little certificate of completion along with a paper grad cap, and a special pillow case. Brogen was so proud and kept beaming and beaming. He did a great job singing up in front of everyone, (even though he had a little trouble containing his excitement and standing still...but that's our Brogen for ya)....and after it was over he got to play one more time with his best friend Jexton before we went out to dinner to celebrate....McDonald's style! Everyone got ice cream sundaes. It was a great night. We are so so proud of our little boy and are proud of the boy he is becoming. We love you so much Brogen. Here are some pic's and video clips we took of the graduation....sorry for the shaky video...I had a 2 yr old lil girl trying to use me as a jungle gym the whole time (I think she was just a bit jealous)! lol Enjoy!

WE are Children of GOD!

The very basics of who we are!

Mother's Day!

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born.  

She never existed before. 
The woman existed, but the mother, never.  

A mother is the product of a miracle. 

My three little Angels!!

This year Mother's Day was extra special....it was the first year the kids were really old enough to understand what was going on and come up with the cutest, sweetest things for me all on their own. I feel so lucky and blessed to be the mother of my three amazing kids. They are my world and my hearts desire, and I wouldn't be who I am today with out them. I love all three of them so very much, and my wonderful husband too, who loves me enough to join me on this journey of parenthood. They all spoiled me so very much, and I felt so loved on my special day....or weekend I guess I should say. It all started on Friday when I came home from work to beautiful flowers and my favorite chocolates that they all picked out for me together. Then on Sat morning, Brandon took me out to a nice breakfast, and then to a family movie with the kids. We had so much fun, they love going to the theater and are so good too! Then he let me take a wonderful long nap later that afternoon while he tended all three kids, and let me rest. It was soooo nice. On Sunday we went to church as a family, and they had a beautiful Mother's Day program where the primary kids got up to sing special mother's day songs...and Brogen went up there for the first time. I can't believe how big he is getting, and moments like these just take my breathe away. He sang so sweet and was so happy it just melted my heart. After church the kids and daddy gave me their funny, sweet cards they got me and we spent the rest of the day enjoying being together. I couldn't have asked for a better mother's day gift then that. I love my precious little family so much and couldn't imagine my life without them. I am truly truly blessed. Life is perfect!!!

My beautiful flowers & yummy chocolates!

My special Mother's Day dessert...one of my most favorite!
