May 2012

Okay so summer has basically come and gone. I know it's only the first, well almost the second of August but the kids will be back to school in no time flat, which just makes me want to cry! I haven't done a post in a while and I know because it's only way late at night that I have time to do them and it's either sleep, or blog, and I'm sorry but sleep normally wins! Well it doesn't pay off because now I'm going through my pictures to see what I need to blog and I swear I have like 100 pictures that I want to post! So I will take it a little at a time and I might have to finish the blog later. But I only have a few days to get it all done before we leave on our "vacation" to Cali so here's starting I guess!

 We are starting off with Easter...I know I'm LAME!  But I will try to be better and not get so far behind.

 I love that Ben is waving in this picture...too cute.  Also funny that I got a picture with the kids this time and that Blake is the one taking it.  I think because he had to work so we probably were dressed up and he wasn't.

 What can I say.  This is Bill Bob to the "T". If you look closely you can see his smile.

 Gracie was so cute, as normal.

 What a handsome young man.  Boy is he ever just getting big.  He was so mad that I bought him a purple shirt because you know purple is a girl color.  But he gets tan and he looks so good in it!

Brendon is looking pretty sharp in this picture as well.  He was pretty excited almost enough to forget that he had to wear church clothes.  He hates wearing his church clothes!

Ok, and now it's time for some randomness:

 Another pictue of Billy falling asleep in an uncomfortable position!

 Gracie winning the war against food!  She is such a stinker when it comes to eating.  The little poop has got food on my face from raspberry-ing me more than my three boys did combined!  And look at her smile the little devil, she's proud of it.

 I just love her in this little yellow dress.

I love how she crawls. It's so funny to watch, but she doesn't like to crawl on her knees, I think it hurts them and she's to dainty to have hurt knees.

Well now we are on to Brendon's pre-school graduation/program.

I love our pre-school that we send our kids to.  I wish they could be my kids teachers' for their whole lives but unfortunately they can't.

 This picture is hazy but you get the drift....he was excited.  If you don't believe me, look below.

He was so cute.  I couldn't believe how excited he got.  He usually gets really nervous when he gets up in front of people.  In fact the frist time he had to give a scripture in primary Blake's mom tried to help him and he got up there, said one word, looked at her and said "I can't do this" got himself down and went back and sat with his class.  He has had one failed talk that I ended up giving and just like last month, meaning July, he finally gave a talk.  I told him if he gave his talk that I would take him to IFA and get him this swan toy that he was dieing to have.  It worked!

Here's half of his class.

Ok so here's Brendon with his teacher's Mr. and Mrs. Young. That are so awesome, have I mentioned that? I love them and they have no idea what's coming their way in a few years when they get the Billy Bob!

Alright on to some more randomness below.

Ben played t-ball this year for the first time and he loved it.  I think we will definitely have to do this next year, but I think he'll be in coach pitch.

 He looked so handsome in his uniform and we only bought the one picture of him and him with his team.  But his single photo came out soooo good.

 Alright here's some crazy pictures of the beast!

 Look at the Devil in those eyes! He is so irritating he's cute.

 And then there's the Gracie girl that is such a good cute little thing.  I love that I can put her hair up in a little pony.  I actually got some pig tails on top of her head the other day.  Don't worry I have pictures of those, but I'm trying to stay in chronological order here. But look at that face under here, isn't that enough to warm your heart!

 Well I was going to post some more...but I'm giving in to sleep since the last five pictures that I was trying to upload are taking FOREVER.  Oh well.  So here's a start to getting caught up any ways.  At least I have all my pictures picked out and on my computer in a file so I know what I'm going to blog about! Hey I have to make small steps and have encouragement!
