Kindergarten + Kleenex


The week after Aubrielle's birthday the Kindergarten rollercoaster began.
I thought I was prepared.  
We went to Open House the Thursday before school started & all it took was for me to walk through the school doors for me to loose it. 
 Like the ugly cry.
I managed to pull it together enough to make it to her classroom & meet her teacher but I could hardly talk because everyone knows that talking while trying not to cry just makes you cry.

The good thing is that by loosing it on Thursday meant that Monday morning was much better!
I held it all in until Bferg & I walked out of the school.
Aubrielle was SO excited & SO ready & that combination SO helped this Mommy!

Open House at her desk.

First Day!


The Kindergartener & Daddy.

Yes, I was as tired as I look.
But I'm so proud of her!


Sisters!
It has been quite the adjustment for little sister.

We are on the last day of the 5th week of school & she is still just as excited to go everyday!  She is making good friends, loving learning & we can already see her maturing in life.  
And I'm not going to lie...on the days when she stops at the school door to wave at me as I drive by I still shed a little tear.  It just isn't easy letting them go!

"For this child I have prayed...I now give this child to the Lord."

My Baby Is SIX!

I cannot believe that Aubrielle is six!  
It just doesn't seem possible & for some reason 6 sounds so much older than 5!
We decided on a Chuck E Cheese party & it was AMAZING!  
I'm not even being sarcastic!
They completely served us.  
We had the place almost completely to ourselves & I didn't have to clean 
my house or clean up after.  
AMAZING!

Birthday Cinnamon Rolls...her choice!

SO EXCITED!

Lily's response every time to seeing Chuck E....

Games with friends!

The party table.

Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Rocking out with Chuck E Cheese.

Ticket Blaster!  

She made a haul!!!!
I'm very thankful that God allowed me to be a Mommy to Aubrielle. 
 She is smart, kind, funny & growing up to be an amazing little lady (who is our littleTomboy)!
We are also so thankful for our friends who are just like family that always celebrate with us!
Up next...Kindergarten!
Where are the Kleenex?!?!?!?!?!?


"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing
 one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, 
with thankfulness in your hearts to God."
Colossians 3:16

Family Pictures On The Beach

Every evening around five o'clock families would start 
migrating to the beach for the dreaded family photo session.  
We were no exception.







A few outtakes...just keepin' it real!
