shout outs to brandon, bryan & me [LOL]

lately everytime i look at brandon, he seems to be growing and maturing. 2 weeks ago or so, brandon received a kindness award in school. i was invited to come to their assembly to watch him accept the award. and in true fashion, when his name was announced, he stood up and looked directly at mama! thanks for this great photo brandon! that's all i could've asked for!walking tall & proud----- you go brandon!! his teacher had such nice things to say about him and made me blush!look at his happy face and you can tell he was proud of his award.easy to spot my child right? always hamming it up! let's move on to bryan. a while back, i vowed to get him potty trained before he turned 3. well, it was a tough road to get him to do it but being as anal as i am and persistent, i didn't give up and he finally "got" what potty training was all about. and that was done BEFORE he turned 3. yay! we still had him in pull-ups at nite only but a few weeks ago, bryan asked to sleep in his underwear. now, i wasn't quite ready for that since i would be the one getting up in the middle of the nite to change him and the sheets. BUT he asked and his pull-ups were always dry in the morning. sure enough, he was ready and has been doing an excellent job staying dry!!
thank you costco diapers....it's been real but we are happy we don't need to shell out $45 for each box now! don't you just love watching your little one sleep? so peceful and sweet. look and him with all his animal friends!ok, now on to me =) a mini card i made that made the blog gallery challenge here. great to just have a bunch on hand for some fast thank yous. we have a t-ball game saturday! hope brandon gets a better feel of the game! he did pretty well at practice this week.

Congrats to Brandon! Love the photo capture-so precious! I see some great scrapbook pages in the making (hint, hint)!!You have done an excellent job to show the boys the rope and they are thriving!! I was very happy to see your mini tree card in the CARDS blog!
ps: Yipee for no diapering at night for Bryan! Boys are slow in that department (Dr. John always told me so). Tell Bryan that he is also helping with the environment (& your wallet) ...that should really encourage him :)
