Blessing of Family

We love our big families and time spent with them! Back in May, we celebrated the upcoming arrival of a new niece or nephew! Alex's brother Adam and his wife Tristen are expecting baby #1 at the end of July. Bria will have a little buddy close in age!

Beilyn says the baby is a boy! We will have to wait and see. 

I love having lots of sisters, by birth and by marriage.

Over  Memorial Day weekend, we had a cook-out at my parents' cabin. It was Bria's 1st trip to the cabin. She loved it!

She was being extra cute after church so I just had to snap some pictures. 

Love her so much!

Look closely. He was batting with water balloons. :)

Bria & Uncle Travis

Emilee is the baby whisperer. ♥

The first weekend in June, the girls and I traveled to Virginia for my cousin Brynne's wedding. Brielle and Hadlee were flower girls.  The outdoor ceremony was rained out, but the wedding was still beautiful!

Time for Summer!! {Last Day of School}

Awards Day {May 23, 2016} and the Last Day of School {May 26, 2016}

Someone was getting antsy for the program to start. :)

Mamaw & Bria

Braylee & Brooklyn had the privilege of leading the Pledge of Allegiance.

Brynna was awarded Outstanding Achievement (All A's all year) & Writing Wizard.

Braylee earned Oustanding Achievement (All A's all year) & Math Magician.

Ice cream was in order since all of these girlies had straight A's all year!

Brynna had the camera and was snapping lots of pictures. I love this one because it's so Beilyn, dancing around without a care in the world. 

Last Day of 3rd grade & 5th grade!

Officially a Middle Schooler now!

Sydney & Braylee did a duet at the 5th grade talent show.

Best Friends on their last day of elementary school.

Time flies. End of elementary (11.5 years) and their first sleepover (10 months)

Sweet friends ~ Braylee, Sydney, Mackenzie, Lillie, Madison, and Katie

Brynna had a different teacher for the 2nd semester since her teacher had twins!
She loved Mr. Higgins and said he was "the funniest teacher ever!"

We are looking forward to all of the fun stuff we have planned for summer, but the last day of school is always bittersweet for this momma.  I want to keep them little!
