Happy Memorial Day!!
Also - Happy 7th Anniversary to my hubby!
Can't believe it has been 7 years since we threw a pretty cool party :) and got married!
We have been through quite a lot in these years and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else by my side! I love you!

Meena C and PopPop Joe came over from Nebraska for the day! They brought some YUMMY steaks and we were able to enjoy the day outside! It was pretty relaxing and great!

And I got 7 daisies for 7 years - he remembered that they were our wedding flowers :)

Graduation Day!
I can't believe another year is behind us. So much has happened this year and I just have to say that Braden's preschool has been AMAZING! They have been so helpful through all of the chaos this year. They made sure that Braden was well taken care of and loved. They were great at keeping track of who had Braden on what days (especially when I was in the hospital) and more than willing to keep him a few extra minutes when I was late picking him up because I was down at the hospital. I can not say enough great things about our preschool family - they truly are the best!

Braden got the "Eager Explorer" award this year!
Hmmm...I think that is a nice way of saying he's very busy!

Awww...Braden and Sally. I am so proud of how far these two have come! They were next to each other in the NICU almost 5 years ago and now they really are such good friends! Born 12 and 10 weeks too soon - they both spent over 70 days in the NICU. They are amazing!!

Special lunch with Mommy at Noodle Zoo!

Then he got to go splash around with his best buddy Gavin! What a great day!

Smiles

After a rough day of ultrasounds and puking - Blake started cooing and smiling.
Somehow this kid has always known when Mommy needs a pick me up! He cracked some huge ones today, but of course not while the camera was on him! Love this kid!

Rainbows on the ceiling -
Every morning Braden points out the "reflection rainbow" as he calls it on our ceiling!

Doesn't seem possible that my baby brother is this grown up...man oh man! Congrats Adam! Glad we were there to witness it :)

Adam's friends signed this huge sign at his party - Braden thought it made a great fort!

Tonight was Adam's Graduation Party!

Braden and I headed to Lincoln for the weekend of festivities. It was hard to leave Blake, but Daddy handled himself well :)

Golly gee - I'm short!

During the Grey's Anatomy finale tonight I dyed my hair at Jill's house. Gavin thought it was pretty silly! It needed lightened up badly and I think it came out good! I seriously haven't done this in about 8-9 years - I know some of you might not believe that b/c I use to do it ALL the time :)

Opening Day --- of Blast ball :)
It was pretty cute. This is Braden's first go-round at 'organized' sports! It was fun to see him be a part of a team. He hit a bomb for his last hit and was super excited!
