Braces, Retainers, Legos, and Ashlyn is 10!

Aly looks like a teenager with braces!

Little man loves to build these Lego sets. He sits for HOURS straight working on them!

So much going on this week! Aly got braces, Ashlyn got a retainer, Brandon got the Lego set of his dreams (Lego City Police Station- purchased with gift cards he got for his birthday as well as some allowance he had saved up!), and Ashlyn's 10th birthday- dinner at Islands, presents, and Daddy's famous milkshakes for dessert! What a week!

Birthday party for my May babies

We had a great birthday party for Brandon -6 and Ashlyn-10. Such a fun day! All the family, including my parents from Las Vegas and my sister and her son from Alabama (we sure missed her daughter Maddi!), all the Holts (except Jacob who was working), good friends Jen and Skye, my grandmother Wanda and our dear friend Barbara. Such a fun day!

Zoo Trip

Brandon got to take the train to the Santa Barbara Zoo with mom, dad, and his kindergarten class. What a fun day! He loved the train, though it got a bit boring by the end of the ride, and he liked feeding the giraffe and seeing the elephants and gorilla. Fun to be alone with mom and dad too!

New Beginnings

Cute girls dressed up as Disney princesses!

Aly celebrated New Beginnings with her friends and family this month. Although she doesn't turn 12 until September it was fun to be introduced in YW to all the older girls.  A cute play was performed and I had the honor of telling everyone why Aly is a princess in our home. She truly is a wonderful girl and we are so proud of her. What a lovely young woman she is becoming, sweet, sensitive, giving, loving and so pretty. We love this girl!

Mother's Day

Had such a nice Mother's Day weekend. Brandon's class did a Mother's Day play on Thursday, so sweet to see him singing songs for me. What a love.  Saturday Jason and I went to Game 7 of the Lakers playoff series! Go Lakers!! It was an awesome game! Sunday I got beautiful roses, cards and lots of love from my sweet family.

Brandon is 6!

Brandon is 6! May 1st was my big boy's birthday- 6 years have gone sooo fast. He is a love, such a sweet little guy. He lives for Legos and Superheroes, loves to read, to swim, to go to school and play with his friends. He is a funny boy, so creative and clever and just a joy to have in our lives. We love this little guy so much!

My lovelies

My little Laker Girl- she is a crazy die hard Lakers fan!
