Fun on the Fourth
So I hope everyone had a great fourth of July...We sure did!!! We made our annual trek to Water World. My parents came with us this year. It was the perfect day to go...HOT! HOT! HOT! There wasn't a cloud in the sky all day long and it was so hot that all we wanted to do was be IN the water. I hate those times when we go and it's cloudy or slightly breezy and getting in the water is more torturous than fun. They also built a new area that they named 'The Big Top'. It has a circus theme, and they made it an older kid play area with a lazy river, some slides that only kids under 60 inches could ride, a big pool with huge elephants squirting out water, a fun house, and then they added one adult attraction, which was a timed slide. So there were 8 slides all equal in length, and at the same time you would race down the slide head first on a mat, and at the end it told you how fast you went and which place you came in. It was WAY FUN! We were just bummed we didn't discover it until the end of the day. Here are some pics from the day (Sorry, none of 'The Big Top' area we didn't have our camera over there)...
After Water World we ate at Texas Roadhouse. YUM! YUM! Then went over to some friends house (Cee Cee and Bill's) to watch fireworks and light some of our own. We all had a great time and were BEAT by the time we made it to bed.

Tagged!!!
What is his name? Matthew Scott Kelly
How long have you been together? 8 memorable years
How long did you date? If my memory hasn't failed me, we dated for 9 months with a two week break in there somewhere until he proposed, and then a 4 month long engagement.
How old is he? He is 31 years young!
Who eats more? Well, when he's not trying to lose weight he does hands down, but currently after dropping 20 pounds and still going, I'm probably the pig.
Who said I love you first? This is a sore subject, but yes he did, end of story.
Who is taller? He is by at least 7 inches.
Who can sing better? Let's just say neither of us would win American Idol.
Who is smarter? Matt by far, just don't ever let him know I said that.
Who does the laundry? Okay, so I did all the laundry up until about 2 years ago when Matt informed me I didn't do his laundry right, so now he does his own and I do the rest.
Who pays the bills? Matt does, the bills stress me out!!!
Who sleeps on the right side? Matt does!
Who mows the lawn? Considering I've never touched a mower in my life, I leave the mowing to my hubby and hopefully one day my children. (Isn't that why I have 2 boys?)
Who cooks dinner? Local restaurants!?!?!
Who drives? Matt does, he doesn't like my driving.
Who is more stubborn? We are both equals when it comes to stubbornness.
Who kissed who first? Matt did! It was one night after my roommates and I threw a murder mystery dinner at our apartment. It was very memorable.
Who proposed? Matt did of course. He had a whole night planned with dozens of roses, my black dress, a book, some music and dinner. It was very romantic!
Who has more friends? I would say that I probably do, but he also has his fair share. Everyone who meets him loves him.
Who is more sensitive? This is kinda funny, because I always tell him he doesn't have a sensitive bone in his body. I've only seen him cry maybe twice in our marriage, and the one I remember best was when the Red Sox won the World Series...no joke!
Who has more siblings? Matt, hands down. I have one brother and he is the oldest of 6 kids.
Who wears the pants? I would say we both do fairly equally.
I tag: Anyone who hasn't already done this one!
T-Ball Time
So, it's T-Ball time again!!! We are in the middle of the season, which seems so short here, since a lot of our practices and games get rained out due to our afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Anyway Brayden seems to be enjoying it more than he ever did soccer, but he still has an attitude like he could take it or leave it. He's definitely the brains in the family and not the jock (he's leaving that to Andrew). So here are some pictures and video of his first official game.
Way to go Brayden! You are doing awesome and we are so proud of you!

Crush?
Okay so my son...
This one
Not this one
is experiencing his first crush. How do I know you ask? Well, I have a few pieces of evidence...
1. His eyes light up whenever he sees her.
2. If he hears her name, he stops whatever he's doing and comes running.
3. He listens to her every word, and does whatever she asks.
4. He asks to see her SEVERAL times a day.
Who is this girl, you ask, that has my son wrapped around her tiny little finger?
Yes, it is the infamous Dora!!! Andrew just can't seem to get enough of her! I will have to break it to him some day that she's not a real person, but just a drawing on a piece of paper, until then go Andrew.

Brayden's last days of kindergarten...
Denver Zoo
So, since I've been such a slacker I will post these all under one large post. Starting with Brayden's class field trip to the zoo. We went on a Friday a couple weeks before school got out. I went as a chaperone and boy was it a treat!:) We weren't even sure that morning if we were going to be able to go because it was soooo windy. The kids were literally being blown over as they tried to walk to the bus. We heard that Denver (where the zoo is) wasn't as bad so they decided to go anyway. It really wasn't bad down there but it was fairly chilly. Maybe in the 40's. The kids had a blast though and it was a lot of fun to be able to spend the day with Brayden and his class.
Brayden with his best friend Riley on the bus.
Here is an elephant getting a manicure.
Brayden's favorites were feeding the lorikeets and seeing the Kimodo (sp?) dragon. Fun times and great memories for all!!!!
Field Day
I don't know if any of you grew up having "field day" at school, Matt said he didn't have them, but they are kind of a tradition out here in Colorado. It's basically a track meet for the entire school. They do long jump, triple jump, hurdles, relays, high jump, etc. Some schools give out ribbons/awards, others t-shirts, it just depends. It's just a fun end of the school year activity where kids get to basically have P.E. all day long. I remember looking forward to the day. Anyway here are some pics of Brayden's field day. He did the 50 yard/meter? dash, hurdles, long jump, and 1/2 mile. He didn't necessarily care if he won, he just didn't want to lose which he never did.
Brayden doing the 5o meter/yard dash.
The hurdles were sooo cute and tiny! I didn't get any really good shots of him jumping over them, but he didn't knock any over.:)
Just Brayden goofing around with his friends!
Kindergarten Graduation
This was so cute and they really went all out. They wore the hats, marched in, got diplomas, etc. They were so incredibly cute and Brayden feels so grown-up now. He tells everyone that he has graduated from kindergarten and that he's almost a first grader. Don't you remember those days of wanting to grow up so fast. Now I just want to freeze time. I'm sick of getting older!!!!!
One proud momma! Brayden, Mrs. Shepherd, & Riley
All in all it was a GREAT year! Brayden did awesome and his teacher made it so much fun for them. Hope it's just as good next year!
