Happy Father's Day Brandt 2010

We sure love our Daddy!! We celebrated Daddy with a sweet breakfast, lots of new clothes and dinner out at a new Mexican restaurant we like. Thanks for being so wonderful to Tanner and Ava....(and me). I am lucky to have a wonderful husband who makes it possible for me to stay home with the kids!

We also went to a car show that weekend. Tanner was in heaven!!!

Preschool Graduation

Tanner and Ava both went to Covenant Kids Day Out this past school year! It was our last year there, and they had a lot of fun. I am like 2 months behind.........

Their end of school performance was classic. Ava's teachers told me she could sing and dance to everything, but when showtime came she literally just smiled the whole time, no singing at all. It was so cute!!! Tanner did awesome despite the hyper problem child that he had to stand next to who kept jumping around and bumping into him!!!!

Tanner had Ms Rebecca(and a couple others before who couldn't handle the class) and Ava had Ms Angela....she was wonderful to Ava and even let her bring her flower blankie to school all of the time!! Ms Angela never even made me feel bad for having a 3 year old princess who still didn't use the potty completely at the end of the year............so Ms Angela rocks in my opinion!

We had a picnic afterwards with all the teachers and parents and then it was officially summer!!! Thanks CKDO for a great year and some quiet hours for mommy!

See ya later...

ALLIGATOR!! How cute, right?! Tanner has gone to Miss Terri's Preschool for 2 years now. The days he isn't here he has been at Covenant preschool! We have loved Terri so so much and love to go there!

I can't believe my cute little man is done with preschool and off to kindergarten! It's only 3hrs so it wont be a huge emotional change for me but it is elementary school, and it's free so woohoo!

Miss Terri said that one of the things she loves about Tanner is that she knows that she can always count on him to know the right answer if no one else does!!!...........um he must get that from his Daddy!!

Luckily we will still have Miss Terri in our daily lives because Ava gets to go there next fall!!!!!!!

Getting Away from the Cold!

A couple weekends ago Ava and I flew to Phoenix to see my sister Lori! We had too much fun being together, We are ridiculously alike! Carter is so big and is so fun to be with!!

We were in shock going from 55 degree weather with rain and the day prior SNOW to 90+ degree weather!! I loved it. We swam and caught some rays!

I even got to meet up with my old highschool friend and roomate at Ricks Lindsey Hahn Johnson! It was a great trip! Thanks Lori for a fun weekend.................I can't wait to come again very soon!!

Me and my kids!

Aunt Lori came for a visit and took a couple shots of us.....it wasn't planned, so we don't match.
How cute are these kids!!

These are the faces of a 3 year old princess....happy one minute, sassy the next! Now it is well documented!

Easter Time!

Some of the Jones cousins after the annual easter egg hunt at Grams and Poppy's home. It looks like Ava was sad and didn't find one single egg but that is just her silly faces she makes for pictures sometimes!!

Can you tell that they just woke up??? They were pumped that the Easter Bunny came, but Tanner kept asking where "the rest" of the presents were! ha.....he must have been spoiled by his experience with Santa.

LOVE these little kids!! They are so sweet and smart and bring so much joy to our lives!!!! Happy Easter.

Tanner turns 5!!

I just can't believe how big and smart this kid is now! I am so proud of him and just adore him. I have learned a lot by being his mom and enjoyed (almost) every minute of it!!

A birthday dinner at RedRobin with grandma teresa and grandpa dan and family! It doesn't get much better than that.....at least in our family! Love ya Tanner Boy!!! Love, Mommy
