This last collage totally gets me b/c in the fall Brady was still such a little thing, and the thought of him posing for the camera with his sisters wasn't even remotely possible. Fast forward to the end of the school year, and he was throwing an all-out fit b/c I wouldn't let him get in the girls' individual pictures. Being a little brother is a tough gig sometimes! ;) In August, he was still a full-fledged baby..now he lines up with his sisters for pictures and says "cheese" like he's been doing it his whole life. Seriously, what is happening?!?!
A few other shots from our day for good measure...starting with a sleepyhead. All of our kids are fairly early risers, but I actually had to wake this girl up this morning...which barely ever happens. I think yesterday's Field Day must have worn her out!
In the above picture, Shelby is posing with her school's mascot, which is decked out in a Vegas Golden Knights shirt . The entire city of Las Vegas is straight-up Golden Knights obsessed. In case you haven't heard, it's the inaugural year of the hockey team in our city and we've made it to the Stanley Cup finals. Shelby's school actually won a "Knight Up" contest a few weeks ago, and the students were all encouraged to wear their black & gold in honor of the Knights for their last day of school.

The girls' last day of school was just a half-day, and Shelby's class had a little superlative award ceremony first thing in the morning so Brady and I went to that. Bringing a toddler to these events is always is always dicey at best, thankfully my friend Jessica was there and Brady was content in her arms for a good fifteen minutes! For a baby who has always been so attached to Mama & Daddy, he never hesitates to go to Mrs. Jessica!
Shelby's teachers always go all out for everything. The school had already put on an "official" first grade award ceremony last week, but they had to do their own in-class ceremony as well! As you can tell from the picture below, it was a red carpet event! Shelby was awarded the Albert Einstein award for being the smartest person in the room, and her teachers told stories of how Shelby has even had to correct them from time to time!
To kick off our summer, I took the girls to Menchie's and then we came home to swim! It was a perfect way to close out the school year! Brady has come a long way in the water over the past month!!
Bring on summer!!!
