Houstin's Graduation

 

The end of May, Houstin graduated from Manti High School.  He had actually graduated in January and had been attending classes at Snow College South for welding.  Marsha did a little get together for him at her house to celebrate.  It was also a birthday party for him too. 

We are all so proud of Houstin and his accomplishments.   He is an amazing young man!

 

Marsha's neighbor, Mark, made an amazing dutch oven meal for us.  It was incredible, and nice not to worry to much about food.  Lots of people came to support Houstin.

 

This is where the cool kids hang out.......

 

I just love this next picture of Brig with Grandma Barney.  So sweet.

 

 

 

And these two, are two peas in a pod!

 

All the little kids were super excited to help Houstin blow out his candles.

His mom, Ruth, gave him a gun that he has been wanting for years.

This is H and his best friend Dominique.

Houstin, his mom Brenda, and Caleb.

Oh and of course, H and his cute girlfriend Krista.

H with Jack and Marsha.

Houstin, if you ever actually get on this blog, then I guess you can read this.  

I hope you know how proud we all are of you.  You are an amazing young man with such charm.  I hope you understand how many people you have supporting you and that love you.  I know that your Dad is also so proud of you.  You are so much like him.  Never change who you are and always know you can do and be whatever you set your mind to.
Love from your favorite aunt.

Brogan graduated preschool!

In May, Brogan graduated preschool and is ready for Kindergarten!

His class did a cute little program.

 

 

 

Brogan did such a great job on his part.

He was one of the few kids that we could actually understand.

 

 

My big boy!!

 

 

 

This is his teacher, Mrs. Jensen.

He went to her preschool for 2 years.

She is an amazing teacher and did a great job preparing

him for Kindergarten.

 

 

I am so proud my little man and how smart he is.

He did a great job!

 

 

Neglect

Dear Blog,

I am sorry for the neglect that I have shown you this summer.
There has been far too many other things taking my time.
Such as; slip and slides, finding rolly pollys with Brig
and then convincing him that they are not a food group,
camping trips, pushing my wee ones on the swings,
cleaning sandbox sand out of diapers, the list goes on.

I will start paying more attention to you.
I know that you are my tool for sharing/preserving
all the wonderful memories we make.

Yours truly, Tori

Brogan is 5!

Mr. Brogan turned 5 on May 1!   He was so excited, because now he gets to go to kindergarten!

I can not believe that my sweet boy is already 5.  I hope he stays sweet through the next few years.

We just did a small little get together at our house for his birthday with a few kids in the neighborhood.

He was pretty excited about his Hulk cake.....super heros are pretty important right now.

Blowing out his candles.....

 



After eating cake and getting all on a sugar high, we sent them all home and the opened gifts.
He still wears every emotion on his face.....

I sure do love my little man.  I am so happy that he is my son and I get to be his mamma.  He has taught me so much about life.  Brogan sure is a funny little man, he cracks me up every day.  He is such a kind hearted (most of the time)  little boy.  He is a very good big brother to Brig.  I am loving this journey of being Brogans mom. 

Summer Love

There is something about this little

blonde boy that melts

my heart. 

 

 

Maybe it's his little smile,

Or his chubby cheeks.

 

He usually doesn't sit still long enough to get a decent picture of him.  

 

 

But this little creature has stolen my heart.
