These two LOVE to play board games!! It has been a tradition of ours to play games every Sunday after church. Preferably while Brynlee is sleeping... At first it was hard for them to be a good sport, but after a few weeks they have learned to play fair and not get mad if they don’t win.

Anaheim Angels

Tom and Braden having a blast at the Anaheim Angels game. They had the best seats- only two rows back between home plate and 1st base. The game went 14 innings, but they decided to leave at the 11th, since it was already midnight!!

Bridal Veil Falls with Grandpa Rick!

While in Utah for Sam's wedding, grandpa Rick took us on a fun hike up Provo Canyon. There were lots of fish to feed and a really cool waterfall that we could hike up to. Such a blast!!!

Toothless Smile

It was just a normal day at school when I got a call from the school nurse. I had forgotten to fill up Braden’s water bottle and when he tried to pry it open with his teeth, his two bottom teeth almost came out with it! Luckily school was almost over, so I went to pick him up. Later that night, dad tried to pull them out, but they were still hanging on...By the next day Braden was sick of not being able to chew and let dad yank them out! That night he found two dollars under his pillow! So, we went to Game Stop and he got Mario Kart Wii!!

Mrs. Newell- Last Day of Kinder

What a great year!! By the time you reached kindergarten you had already been to 5 different pre-schools! I knew you were a pro, but I was still nervous for you to start at yet another school in a brand new place. Mrs. Newell was so amazing! She was such a blessing to you and our whole family. I couldn't have asked for a better kindergarten teacher for you! She loved you and you loved her! You never once complained about going to school and loved every minute you were there....You grew so much this year and I am so proud of you! You got two awards: One academic achievement award in the middle of the year and a math award at the end of the year!! Such a great accomplishment Braden!! I know you have great things in store for you!!
