Sock Hop

Brooke was up early and SO excited to finally wear her poodle skirt today for the Sock Hop at school! She looked so cute in her blinged out poodle skirt! Bryce was too cool to participate. I couldn't even get him to wear a white T-shirt! But as I was dropping him off at school and he saw everyone else dressed up, he did say it was ok if I brought him a white T-shirt to wear with his jeans.

STATE CHAMPS!!!

WOW, what a week we had at the state championship tournament in big Sulphur Springs, TX last week! Bryce's team went undefeated, winning the tournament and moving on to the National tournament in Louisiana this weekend! Here's a few highlight pics...

We are the champions...

We had a great (and hot) Father's Day at the baseball fields (well, after a great morning at church!)
WooHoo! Way to go Prosper All-Stars! Bryce's team won their district tourney, and not only did they win, they run ruled the other teams in all 6 games they played! We will now move on and play in the state tournament in big Sulphur Springs, TX starting on July 4! Happy Vacation to us! :)
It was so special that Brad's dad could also be there for the championship game on Sunday! Like father, like son...like son!
Such a cute group of boys...and awesome ball players too!
TROOPER is Brooke's new nickname! She definitely deserves the "sister of the year" award for being a trooper through all of brother's games! This is another trooper lil sis in this pic with her!

Miscellaneous

It's been busy, but fun times around our house lately! Bryce tried out for the Prosper All-Star baseball team last week and made the 1st team! So, we are all about baseball around here...AGAIN! He's acquired a lot of cool new stuff for the team too...and these are just his practic jerseys! He's pretty pumped, and we're very proud of him.
The kids and I went to Waco for a few days last week to hang out with the cousins. These boys are way too big!
We were so excited to see that the Baylor bear does actually wake up and come out of his (actually, I think it's her) little cave. This is probably the 10th time we've stopped by the bear pit, and the first time we've actually seen a bear awake! Of course she was only up for a second, but it was still fun to see her up.
AWANA awards at church...It's always big fun to walk across stage and get your name called out!

Bryce's last day of school this year was on SATURDAY, May 30, and to get all the kids to show up, they did their awards ceremony that morning. We were very proud of Bryce for receiving an "A Honor Roll" award...and the token field day award!
We've adjusted pretty well to being back in Texas and living in Prosper, but it's been so fun to have some Arkansas friends move here too! Here's a pic of Brooke and Lowery on the merry go round at Stonebriar Mall (a little different than a trip to the NWA mall!)

Bryce's buz and Brooke's big week

Last week was eventful in our house! In yet another attempt to be even more like his daddy, Bryce got a buz...from Daddy of course!
Brooke graduated from preschool! Such a bittersweet moment. She did a great job marching in to pomp & circumstance, singing "Moving up to Kindergarten" and receiving her diploma!
"All I want for Christmas (this year...and the next 3!!!!) is my 2 front teeth!" Brooke had to have her front 2 teeth pulled. A pocket of infection had formed above the roots of these teeth because of a couple bad falls and that would have scarred the adult teeth if left alone. She was SO brave and did a great job. She's been very proud to show off her empty mouth which is pretty cute now. The tooth fairy brought her 2 $2 bills!

Happy ending to a tough day

Brad's grandmother "Mom" went to see Jesus today, so we are rejoicing for that even though it's tough to say goodbye. She lived 94 precious years! This picture was taken in the spring of 2006...The happy end to the day is that Bryce asked Jesus into his heart! Good can come out of all things! Bryce was excited that Mom got to be in heaven with Jesus. We're so happy and blessed that he wants the same someday!

Mother's Day

Both kids schools hosted a Mother's Day Tea last week! It was such special times at each event! Bryce's class made all the moms hats (Kentucky Derby hats as Bryce said) out of butcher paper; mine had a "veil" so it was quite large! It was such a cute idea! His class recited a cute poem, drew sweet pictures for the moms, and made a video of them reading journal entires they had written about their moms...so sweet!
Broooke was so excited to serve me a brownie and muffin (even though she ate my brownie!). Her class sang a bunch of songs for us...once again, so sweet! On Saturday Brad had us all load up because he said they were taking me shopping for Mother's Day. Of course, he wouldn't say where we were going. He pulled up to the AT&T store to get me a new phone! Me being practical thought my old phone still worked fine, but he wanted me to be up with the rest of the world. I know it was very difficult for him to do this, that's what made it so special...I got an iphone...BEFORE HIM!!! I have always received Brad's hand-me-down phones, so this was big news! Thanks baby! Now I just have to learn how to use it!
