Brylee's pre-school graduation...


Our little girl is growing up so fast! She just graduated from her first year of pre-school. She loved every single minute of it and can't wait to go back. After Summer break that is!
 She made lots of friends!
 
Bry and her sweet teacher, Mrs. Carrie! She was AWESOME and we're so happy we got at least one year with her. Unfortunately, she won't be teaching this next year because she got a job teaching Kindergarten. BUT, she'll be teaching at the school Bry will go to so who knows, we might luck out and get her for a teacher again! 

This was my favorite song that the kids sang! Bry was SO in to every song and did such a good job!  I had tears in my eyes the whole time just seeing how grown up she is! Love this girl!!!
(Sorry, blogger wouldn't let me upload the video so I had to use youtube!)

Kayston's first pinewood derby...

Kayston has been SOOOOOOO excited to finally be a scout!! He loves going and asks everyday if he has scouts that day. He was only in for about 3 weeks before the pinewood derby. He couldn't wait to make his car and race it. Preston had Kayston design it and then he cut it out for him. He knew exactly how he wanted it painted and there's only one person to call when it comes to painting!! So Gramma Debby came over and help put the finishing touches on it. He helped to the fire on the side and painted the eyes on the skull.
It turned out pretty great! It totaly looked like a Kayston car!

Can you guess which ones his??
 The flag ceremony. And yes, my child is the only one not wearing his uniform. It's my first scout, how was I supposed to know!!!
 Waiting at the finish line!
 He loves having his buddies in scouts with him!
 He one 2 out of 3 races against his group and he was 11th over all! Not too bad for his first race.
He won the award for the best "mean machine"
He was seriously so happy all night and even volunteered to give the closing prayer. In front of ALL those people. I was one proud mamma!!!
He loves being a scout and is working hard to pass off his requirements.
 Have I mentioned how much I love this kid???

Ummmmmm...

WHO LEFT THE MARKERS OUT????
  This also goes to show that this girl puts EVERYTHING in her mouth!!

Kayston's Baptism...


Kayston was Baptized and Confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Saturday, April 21st 2012. It was such a fun and special day. Kayston has been so excited and has been waiting a long time for this day!

Off to the Church! My goodness he is handsome!

Since I (and most everyone else) went to the wrong church, I wasn't able to get any pictures of Kayston  and Preston in their Baptism clothes. Luckily someone from the stake took this one and I was able to have her email it to me.
All done! Doesn't he look cleaner already?! =) 

After the Baptism, we had a luncheon at my moms house. My mom went a little overboard (like always) and even rented a bouncy house for the kids!! She was smart cause the kids LOVED it!!!
  
Brylee and her cousin Jessie playing dress up! Typical girls! 
  
Uncle Bryan and Aunt Sarah 
  
Aunt Kesti and Gavin came all the way from Idaho
  
 Along with Grandma Robertson and her silly sister, Holly.
We're so lucky to have this lady in our lives!!! 
Grandpa with some of his friends from waaaay back! Kayston got 40 bucks from this guy so I'm pretty sure he is one of his new favorite people! 
Kenley wanted to get in SO bad! We eventually kicked all the big kids out and let her jump for a while! She loved it! 
Kayston's one lucky little guy to have so many people who love and support him. I think he had a pretty great day!

Being the LAME-O that I am, I didn't take any pictures until the end. By then half the people left! Also there was Aunt Jann and Uncle Mike, Uncle Gene and Aunt Cathy, Cousin Wendy, Uncle Tyler and Aunt Michell, Aiden, Jennika, Cousin Taryn and her daughter Bryten, Penny and Less. 
My friends Kim and Amy came to the Baptism but not the luncheon.
Gramma Debby gave Kayston his very own set of Scriptures with his name engraved on them.
Gramma Robertson made him a very special blanket.
Penny gave him $20.00. 
Thank you everyone for showing your support for Kayston on this special day! We love you all!
