Easter

Easter as always was a blast.  We did the usual church and egg hunt.  This year Maddie didn't want to participate.  She wanted to help hid the eggs.  I was a little sad about that.  Sophie loved hunting for the eggs.  She's a sugar-aholic for sure ;).

Brandon and my sister.  Those two are crazy.

Stuffed fox, Spongebob hangman, Penguins movie, peeps, plant and candy. There was something else but I forgot what.

We now have two 5th graders

They made it through 4th grade.  It was a hard year.  Many, many battles were fought but we made it through.  Now on to 5th grade.  On another note, Brandon is now a senior in college... dang it goes by so fast.

The college senior

There he goes

Well it's been a big weekend for Brandon and tomorrow will be a big day. He got his first car and tomorrow he starts college. It seems like only yesterday that he loved playing with his pokemon. He moved in with my parents to be closer to school. I wish we could let him live on campus, I really do. It's so expensive. I think that he will have a good year.

Brandon - We are so proud of you. You are a wonderful, polite, funny, sarcastic and smart young man. We can't wait to see what you become. Have a wonderful year at school. Enjoy every minute. The door is always open at home. We love you.

I ♥ our graduate

I'm so proud of our honor grad. He has worked so hard. I know he doesn't think so sometimes, but I really am so proud and love him so much. He has turned into a very fine young man.

Brandon

Today on my 30th day in a row I am finally getting around to posting about Brandon. He is the oldest. I still can't believe that he will be graduating in about 3 weeks. I still can't believe that he will be graduating with honors. He's so smart and we are so proud of him. He has worked very hard all these years. I know that he was disappointed because he didn't get into UGA, but GA state is a good school. He can always transfer.
Brandon is funny, sweet and your typical 17 year old. He loves basketball which is funny because we aren't really a basketball family. He is probably about 2 heads taller than me. He picks on his sisters, but I think he loves them. I know it was hard for him to go from just him and I, to his dad and us and then have his sisters, but I think he came out okay. We've had our ups and downs, but so does every family.
We love you Brandon. I still remember holding you for the long flight home from San Diego when you were 4 days old. The flight attendants freaked out just a little bit. I can't believe that you will be out of high school soon and starting a huge new chapter in your life. Thank you for being you and we love you!

This was my 30th day in a row posting. First of all I can't believe it's been 30 days. It seems like just yesterday when I joined in. It has been fun to update my blog more. It was kind of getting left behind thanks to face book. I may not post everyday, but I will post every other day. Thanks for following along.
