Kindergarten Celebration

On May 27th, Brenna and Brody had their Kindergarten celebration.   They sang a few songs and then received a certificate for completing kindergarten.  I didn't cry as much as I thought I would.  Nana and Papa came to watch. 
Brody..looking more like a first grader now.

Brenna singing and looking way too grown up!

Brody and his kindergarten teacher who he LOVED!!
 Brenna's kindergarten teacher was not at school on the celebration day.  She had taken a couple of days off for her upcoming wedding.  Brenna also loved her teacher! 
  
They've changed since the beginning of the year...

First day of Kindergarten
 End of Kindergaraten year!
After the celebration, Brenna had to show me how she can do the  monkey bars backward.  
                            Then we went to the little park in Osseo to play some more. Brenna and Brody wanted to take pictures.


 All for now!

My Babies turned Six!

Brenna and Brody are quite a bit taller, a whole lot mouthier, and way more independent than when they made their grand entrace on May 22nd, 2005....but six years later, they are still my babies. 

We decided to have a birthday marathon weekend.  What were we thinking?  It all turned out well, but it was a busy weekend.  Brody's friend party began our marathon on Friday, May 20th, after school. Steve and I picked up five of Brody's friends to head to the Beaver Bowl in Augusta for bowling and pizza.  We had time to spare before dropping off the kids in Osseo so we also made a stop at a playground. 

The Cake!

Seeing that smile makes me smile. :)

All of the boys.  It was impossible to get them to all look at the camera

Saturday was Brenna's day with 6 of her friends  for roller skating and pizza in Eau Claire.  
The Cake!
All of the girls and Heather, who came along to help
Brenna's friend, who also has a twin brother
Sunday, Brenna and Brody's actual birthday, was the family/friend party at our house.  Food, baseball, pinatas and playing!


Trying out the Cyclone ball from Matt and Carrie

Little Avery's turn to hit the Pinata.

So excited to get Pringles from Colleen!

                          By Sunday evening, our six-year olds were tired...so were their parents! 

Brenna and Brody have grown up so much this past year. I am so proud to be their mom and I can't imagine life without them. 

Happy 6th Birthday Brenna and Brody! We love you!
