Today is Memorial day! First, I want to thank all of our military hero's! We think we have problems...imagine the daily fear and visions they must live with...the lonliness to be without your family...so, that they can continue to let us live freely! I will admit it....this slips my mind. I get so upset that our men and woman are still out there that I forget to pray for them or even think of them. I live a cushioned life...their life is not a life I would ever want. I am going to try to pray and think of them on more occasions than just holidays! =)
Look at those adorable eyes!! I love my little man so much! He is such a handful...not at times...but, whenever he is awake!! He is at that wonderful stage (sarcasm) that he loves to say no even if he really wants to say yes. He loves to scream at you....and he loves to throw all of his food when he is done! Other than that, he is full of love and smiles. He repeats whatever you say...and he tells us "I love you" even if we do not say it first! His favorite movie is Transformers...thanks to his daddy!
On Sunday, Christopher and I had an amazing time at church!! My sweet son Brandon watched Ryelon for us...which let us sit in the actual chapel with all the other adults! I loved standing next to him...singing and praising God together!! =) We are learning how to manage our debt...which is $9,000 less than we thought...see, there is always a positive way to look at things!! haha!! Then, we went to my in laws! We showed up 2 hours early! I should always confirm the times...not my husband! =) It is so fun to watch Ryelon say Grandma and Grandpa now...and he adores them! He got close to them very fast...which makes me so happy for Susan! It was a
wonderful Sunday with them!
On Thursday, the grandparents came up to watch the boys 2nd to last teeball game! We were so glad to have Ken back! He has helped Christopher so much this season! I am going to order Christopher, Ken, & Brandon trophies today! I will surprise them at the team party next week! All three did such a great job! Believe it or not, my Dayton actually played really well...so great that Christopher makes him the pitcher position! That is the most important in teeball! I may complain about all the work and patience that goes into this sport...but, I am really going to miss it and all the wonderful parents we met! I am so glad that some of them went on Christopher's soccer team! What an honor!!
On Friday, My handsome son Brandon received an award on the Maverick Stadium for outstanding student!! There is about 1,000 8th graders at his school...and there was only 20 kids out there! The announcer
actually said these are the best kids of "blah blah" school!! My heart almost leaped out of my chest! I have never been more proud of my teenager!! He received honor roll all year! I am still in a little bit of shock that in 8 days he will be in HS! He will be in the ROTC program! And Chris and I realized that he did not get suspended or in any trouble this whole year!! First time since Kindergarten....yes, my kid was suspended in Kindergarten! Yikes, huh? =) We never gave up...and all of our hardwork paid off...Look at our son now! He is at his highest! I love you Brandon Michael Brandt!!!
My twins took me out for a date on Saturday! We saw Alice and Wonderland! I highly recommend this movie! It was so interesting!! Then Chris took Madyson and Brandon to see it!! They loved it too!! We cannot go as a family anymore...Ryelon will probably be better in about 6 months! Well, I have so much to look forward to with this week! I am soooo excited for some things to come! I hope everyone has a blessed week!! =)
