Scotts Graduation

 It is with mixed emotions that we celebrated Scott's graduation from Creighton Law School this past weekend.  We are proud of his big accomplishment and are so happy to celebrate that with him.  But, we are so very sad knowing that this marks the end of his time here in Omaha.  It has been so wonderful to have him close and so special for the kids to get to know their uncle so well.  But while we will miss him dearly we are happy to see him get to move on to another new and exciting phase of life.  He is off to Arizona to take the bar exam and then find a job.  We wish him all the best and thank him for letting us be a big part of his life for the past three years.

We went to "Blue" for his post graduation celebration.  Delicious!

WE LOVE YOU SCOTT AND MISS YOU ALREADY!

10 Years Old!

Its hard to believe it that we have a child in double digits.  Brayden is 10!  It sounds so old.  We celebrated on his birthday with presents, dinner at Cracker Barrell and dessert at Orange Leaf.

Scott joined us for the big birthday dinner

 

 On the weekend we did cake. Grandma and Grandpa were in town and Aunt Jenn and Uncle Jay and Aurora came too to wish Brayden a happy birthday.  Brayden requested a cookie cake which I picked up at a cookie store and decorated according to Brayden's specific request- Clowns playing basketball. 

This year we phased out the friend party.  We let him instead pick one fun activity and one friend to bring along.  He chose to go to a new trampoline place called Defy Gravity with the Williams twins Jake and Zack.  They are moving soon so it was nice to spend some time with them before they leave.  It was a great celebration all around and it is so fun now to have a 10 year old in the house!
