Hello to the start of August!! I tend to always be catching up with the blog so bare with me in all future {long} posts! To kick off August Andrew went on a fun, but educational, trip to Washington D.C. He was able to meet so many new people, create friendships and learn so much from all of them too. The point of the trip was for innovators and teachers who just want to keep pushing forward. He cam home with so many stories, experiences and new ideas! While daddy is away .... these boys get a mommy sleepover! They are the best cuddle bug and this momma will take every snuggle and "sleep over" she can get until they get to the point of no more!!

We were able to take a fun trip to a Kernels game that was Super Hero themed! We had a special meet and greet before the game that included cookies and juice too. Sadly, these boys were not up for meeting the Super Heroes but they had fun watching from a far! We even received fun hats as we entered the stadium too! This was the first time Braylon sat and watched with real passion for the game. So many questions, lots of recapping and his intent stare and focus!
Braylon was even able to sneak a hi five to mascot.. this was the only shot I got of it! Ha!
In the small town I grew up in we have a special town days where there is a parade, some fun games and lots of family in town. They boys caught so much candy and did a great job helping with little cousins Myles and Avery! It was a fun filled day with lots of playing!
We even got to hang out with big cousin Makenzie too!
... and just like that Daddy was back from D.C. and we celebrated with a coffee date in pajama's of course! (at least they were matching tops and bottoms this morning!)
End of the school year Luau ... he was so excited to find this shirt in his closet!!
We were blessed to celebrate the end of summer with the Buss family! We took an over night adventure to a near by water park! I do not have nay pictures from the water park but the wave pool was by far the Fenstermaker favorite! We ended the big day back at our hotel with more swimming. These smiles say it all!
Creation Kids has been Braylon's school for three years but on this special day in August {18th} we had to say our final farewells to his friends, all the teacher and of course Ms. Emily and Ms. Alexis! He did such a good job picking out his teacher gifts all on his own this time too! I know he will miss it but this momma is going to miss him being here too! I loved seeing him everyday and especially both boys being here this summer was a mommy perk!


Who could forget this big guys birthday! It always tends to be a rush to celebrate with all the back to school stuff for him, the boys and my work. This year we had a special gift for him on his birthday, mommy and daddy did a special take out dinner after the boys headed to bed and then we celebrated with an ice cream trip the next day when it was not such a busy afternoon/evening! We think he is a pretty special daddy and husband an we hope {even though we are not the most prepared on his birthday each year} that he knows just how irreplaceable he is and how much we love him!
