A little more of August ...

We took our first trip to the local orchard for the season! It was with these pictures and the pictures below that I have realized just how tired and heavy my face is these days and the weight gain that seems to be going to my face... in return there will be little face shots of this momma! Ha! With our first trip (and the whole weekend it seemed) came lots of sassy attitudes, not so great listening and in general ta bit of a hard time. Sadly this meant our trip was cut a little short but still a good time. We had a nice long talk about choices and plan to go back at least a couple more times before the season is over! 










About a week or so ago we had some family photos taken with my brother (his family) and my mom and Jim. Here are just a few fun sneak peaks of the Fenstermaker clan! :) 

This is by far a favorite of mine.... my heart in three simple, silly smiles! 





His first days of Kindergarten!

Look at this big guy.....!!! How did my first little get so big? He was so excited and very nervous for his first day of Kindergarten. I won't lie... I was a little sad to see his off too! He was so brave up until the moment I had to walk out and say good bye. The room was chaos with so many parents and the teacher was busy but he pulled it together and did it. I was lucky enough to be on after school crew and picked up. He was all smiles and so many stories! Here are a few things from h is first three days of school! He still says that recess is his favorite, he is a little upset mommy keeps packing cold lunches and he was happy there was no quiet time in his shorter days but he knows there will be soon enough! 





The school uses a great app where the teacher has shared fun pictures already and I can not wait to see what else will be shared as the year continues! 


We of course had to celebrate the big first day!! Yummy! 



The second day smiles were less nervous and more excited! 



He has been sharing all of his fun projects with us at night too! They have done some small writing projects in his classroom and the tulip is from  his first trip to the art room! 





Back to School Night!!

Back to school night was a big deal for this new Kindergartner! He was able to meet some new friends, see his classroom, find is desk and his locker, drop off school supplies and of course meet his new teacher! He was a bit nervous but the thought of ice cream and some playground fun afterwards kept him going!

Starting off August!

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!
