Graduations!!!!

I'm very proud to have attended two graduations this month for two of my favorite guys!!! Joe graduated with is Master's of Science in Information Management from ASU..... and Brennan graduated from Kindergarten!! It was a long intense year for Joe (and me) but we made it!!! It seems surreal to have him home every night instead of at class and able to hang out and just watch a movie on any given night, I know he's relieved as well. As for my other guy... I can't believe he's going to be starting 1st grade in a couple of months! He's done so great this year in school, it has been amazing to watch him learn to read, write and illustrate his own stories, and start learning Spanish and math! He's known to be quite the personality in his class (hard to believe I know), and will be remembered for his very imaginative stories he has written ("the time I met an alien", "when I was in a rock band" are just a couple of titles I remember off hand)... He had a really nice graduation ceremony at school...I don't have many pictures cause Joe unfortunately was out of town and I was trying to contain Keeley and Isaac while watching the ceremony! I must admit I got a bit teary... wasn't expecting to for some reason but hard to believe how fast he's growing up!

I'm very excited for summer to start....it will be nice to have more relaxed schedules, not worrying about getting the kids to bed on time and finishing homework every night... Isaac's excited to have Brennan home with him during the day too, although they fight like only brother's can, they also have a good time playing together a lot of the time!!

Keeley is doing really well also.... she's crawling around, getting more adventurous every day.. cruising to different areas of the house. She's got one little tooth in on the bottom and another coming in any day now... She is a great little eater, she LOVES regular food-- no more mushy baby food for her (I can't blame her)! She still loves her brothers and other children and her dog- they can always make her smile... She's going through her stranger anxiety phase big time, and she's very much a Momma's girl right now! Can't believe she's already 9 months....with all we've had going on this has been one busy busy year!!
