I thought I would post some pictures from Braxton's birthday party a few weeks ago...



...and a summer afternoon with the slip-n-slide!

Graduation and a Vacation!

Chase had a graduation ceremony for his Preschool and it was so cute! They performed songs and Chase did awesome standing up at the microphone to say his part that he memorized. They played a movie with music and photos for the year and I seriously had to try hard not to start crying! The girl that made the video of course chose a bunch of sentimental songs and adding that with photos of my little "Chasey-Bear" growing up and moving on to Kindergarten is a cry-fest waiting to happen!



The day after Chase's Graduation, we packed up the car and headed to California! We stopped overnight in Las Vegas and then spent the week in Laguna Beach with special trips to Legoland and Disneyland. It was lots of fun and the kids loved it!!







Chase loved getting buried in the sand! He didn't want to get out so when he got hungry and thirsty, he asked if we could help him. Too funny!



We were leaving the beach one day carrying all of our beach supplies up this giant hill. We were only about half-way up the hill when the boys decided it was the perfect hill to roll down...


Exhausted Boys!!!






We went to Dave & Busters one night for dinner and played some games. Chase used his last tokens in this machine and won the 500 ticket jackpot! The boys were SO excited!! They had the best time picking out prizes with all those tickets!



We spent Braxton's 3rd birthday at Disneyland! He got to wear a birthday button with his name on it and everyone was wishing him a happy birthday. It was fun that he was getting so much attention but he did end up taking it off because he was leery of all the strangers talking to him! haha!!







We stopped at the Ridemakerz store in Downtown Disney. The boys got to pick out a car they wanted and build it with custom accessories. I always love a fun store dedicated to boys!


On the way back home, we stopped again in Las Vegas and the boys love this play area at Town Square. When Chase asked me to ride on the Unicorn with him, I asked him where we were going...he told me that we were going to Modesto, CA. HaHa!! Just a little something he picked up from Monsters vs. Aliens
