This week was full of fun activities as school was winding down and so were lots of the kids activities! Brandon had his graduation from junior kindergarten on wednesday. I am sad because I really enjoyed the school that he's been at the last two years and we are both going to miss all the great people there! He is sad because his bestest bud in the entire world is going to a different school than him next year!
I didn't get a great diploma shot as I had Brooklyn in one hand, the video camera in the other and the camera resting on my arm...it looked pretty interesting to say the least. But I did manage to catch the shot right before he smiled LOL!
Later that afternoon we had the kids awards night for AWANAS. AWANAS is a program at our church where the kids get to go each week and play games, hear stories from the Bible and recite their Bible verses that they've been memorizing throughout the week. I didn't realize the capacity to memorize scripture at such a young age, but both Brandon and Melanie finished their entire book!! I even found myself memorizing the verses right along with them. It was such a blessing for all of us. This is their group leader and the certificates they got for completing the year!
Everything went well on the first day of school! Melanie is now in 2nd grade and Brandon just started kindergarten. Brandon was a little nervous, but as soon as we got there he got right in line and seemed ready to go. These years are flying by so fast!!
I am really excited to try them, but I don't think they're ready yet. Brian pulled one off last week and said it didn't taste good. Hoping they just need more time on the tree.

Brandon's season lasted about a month longer than Melanie's softball season. He played 22 games. He LOVED being up at bat, and did NOT love being in the outfield. For the first half of the season he would go to his position and plant himself there like a statue. He did not go for the ball unless it went right to him LOL. Towards the end of the season he was actually running to get the ball and throw it to first! Brian helped coach his team and had a blast! I love watching the kids play and having their Dad out there coaching. These are some pictures from the end of the season pizza party. This may have been Brandon's favorite thing about the season too ;o)
