The Graduate

Don't call him a pre-schooler... Brady is officially in kindergarden.

High Honors

So impressed with our Sydney Paige who received High Honors all year with a 4.0 grade point average with four of the As being A+. Keep up the magnificent work, Sydney. You make me and Daddy very proud everyday.

I am now officially the parent of a fourth grader. But first, let the summer fun begin!

Let's Go Bruins

No one was happier than my Mom to hear that Brady's baseball team this year was the UCLA Bruins. (Maybe next year he will be a Gaucho.) Cutest thing ever to watch these Shetland boys play ball. I know I will miss these slow, stress free games in two years. Everyone bats every inning and each game is a tie, however Brady will tell you the Bruins won every game except one. Baseball is his favorite game. His favorite position is catcher.

Easter 2011

We went to visit Nana and Foofoo in Big Bear for Easter. Great time as usual.

Trikathon

Brady was part of the annual trikathon to raise money for St Judes Childrens Hospital at Phoenix Ranch. The preschoolers raised over $2500. He thought it was great fun to ride his bike around the school parking lot. He loves riding that bike.

Sandlot 10U 2011

Let the games begin. Go Sandlot!

Flying Flags 2011

So our annual camping trip was hectic. Brady had a baseball tournament that we were driving back and forth to, but it was great to come and relax all evening with our friends. Brady is not in one picture, because he was gone the second he would hit the camp site every afternoon... off with his buddies getting into trouble. Kids were everywhere...playing baseball, riding their bikes, at the arcade, at the play yard or playing in the pool. The adults were watching the NFL playoff games or eating all the wonderful food at Gogo's. We even had a movie night under the stars and you can't forget John's fires. OUT OF CONTROL. Good times with good friends.

All I Want For Christmas

Christmas is always a special time for our family. We celebrate the birth of Jesus from the day after Thanksgiving until Christmas Day and the birth of my Mommy on Christmas Eve (and Christmas, her actual birthday). The kids only want to listen to Christmas carols in the car and the house is filled with smells of pine from the tree, cinnamon from the scented glittered pine cones, and what ever food I am making or baking. Both Brady and Sydney received exactly what they asked for from everyone. The top items, where the ipod touch for Sydney and Little League World Series Baseball for the Wii for Brady. All I want is for Christmas to come much slower this year. Time is going by way too fast. Is it March already and I am finally posting about Christmas 2010.
