Graduation

This is a day that I woke up and asked Chad if we could skip it. I wasn't ready to have a child in High School, I wasn't ready for this next chapter, I just wasn't ready for this day. But it wasn't about me was it? And it was going to happen anyway....Even my outfit and shoes still being in boxes from moving, didn't stop it!
 
Here is a picture of the boys prior to proceeding out.
 
 
 
here is a picture of little e, who attended the ceremony!

his littlest cousin...

 
after, chandler best friend spent the night.

Chandler,
It seems like yesterday that you started at Field.
Today, was your last day there, unbelievable. You have grown so much since the first day. You are a leader, a good friend and truly excelled at lacrosse.
You have made us very proud.
 
I have prayed for you every day...that you make decisions that are good, that you follow what you know is right, that you set your eyes on God not things of this world, that you study hard, that you follow your heart and your brilliant mind, that you chose your friends wisely, that you are Honest & True, that you take responsibility for your actions/thoughts, that you have the courage to say no when you need to, and yes to genuine godly people, that one day, you love some one as your dad has loved me, that you feel the warmth of Gods love- that it surrounds you when you need it most, that you are happy, that you realize how blessed you are and to never take that for granted, that you know your dad, brayden and I love you very much and that nothing will ever change that,
its real and unconditional.
 
you are my first born, my first son that I loved, my first son to graduate middle school....continue to make us proud. we are very excited to see what you do with your high school years and beyond.
we love you,
mom

Little E

 
We had my Sister Julie and Little E over for dinner...we wanted to celebrate her bday. We also had the Tafts over.
I actually made her a pink cake in my new oven.
I did burn the top, but it was easy to peel off!
Here is a picture of little man...
So cute.

Derby Car Winner....oh yeah.

So last year, Chandler entered a car in the Scout Derby sibling race and had the fastest time of the Pack. This year we felt a slight pressure to win again, uphold our title!

Chandler put his efforts into Braydens. Despite a crazy week moving, we all worked together and got it done. Brayden
designed it as a Lacrosse Car.

 
Brayden won for his den...and the Entire Pack!
He was so excited!

 
Thank you to Big Brother Chandler
for building such a great car...

Grandparents Day

Today was a crazy day!
Dad went to Chandlers last grandparents day at the Field School. Here is a picture of them.
Chandler is growing up so fast.
 
 
Dad left early to make it to our final walk thru at the new house. Next we rushed to Chandler's concert back at school.
He did a great job
...sometimes he looks so serious when he is playing.

 
Chandler is graduating soon. I cant believe it.
I pray for him every night-
who he is and who he will become.
I thank God that he has my dad to look up to.
It truly means alot to us.
