All about Britten!

My baby boy has started Kindergarten. His first day was August 25th and he was so excited! I had always planned on driving him to and from school but come to find out he really wanted to ride the bus. I thought I would drive him on the first day too but he really, really wanted to ride the bus! The great thing about the bus is that our cute neighbors Addy and Jake ride the bus too. Britten and Addy both started Kindergarten this year and are enjoying sitting next to each other on the bus! I really wanted it to be a special day for Britten and so I made a few signs and hung them around the house. In the morning he found each one and wanted to know what they said. This was the breakfast of his choice, Cinnamon rolls, chocolate milk and a banana!
Here he is getting ready to catch the bus!
Addy and Britten waiting for the bus. Aren't they the cutest??
Watch your step!! Bye!! I totally started to cry as the bus drove away...
Where have the past 5 years gone?? I keep asking myself and realize they have gone so quickly but have left many great moments and memories in their place. Every night I tuck my kids into bed and spend some time singing and talking and snuggling with them. Before they fall asleep and I leave, I say, "sweet dreams little prince/princes" and Britten told me I now had to say, "sweet dreams BIG prince"! Well, good luck to you BIG prince as you start this new journey in your life! We LOVE you!!

Britten FUNNIES!

Britten put on his red undies, his red pj's and a red t-shirt and came into my room and said, "hey mom, I'm a RED neck".

Jeff was having a conversation with Britten about how he and I are his protectors. Britten said, "yeah, you have your guns to protect me, but what does Mom have? Oh well, she has her blow dryer". (apparently he thinks this is a weapon!)

He was getting his Kindergarten assessment and his teacher said, "Say what I say... I have a BLACK dog". Britten thought for a minute and said, "I have a BROWN dog". It was pretty funny!
