All on our own (Everett week 2)

Daddy left us for a weekend to go to California for a baby blessing this was a challenge but also a fun adventure for the boys and I. We were able to go to my parents a lot for Brendon to have a chance to run around get worn out so he would go to bed at night really easy. This also gave me a break off and on with juggling both boys. Here are some fun photos of the weekend and the week following after daddy got home. 

 
 
 Brendon was determined to read to Everett and to show him pictures of daddy all weekend. He said we couldn't forget daddy. Every day he would wake up and ask how long till Daddy would get home and then he would tell baby brother.
 My biggest shortfall for the weekend was I let Brendon have my tablet for his games and to watch his shows way more than we normally do. But a moms gotta do what she can to entertain and contain a energetic 2 year old. 

 Here are some fun shots of Everett sleeping

 Aunt Kat had her Fair well dance while Daddy was gone and we went over to help her get ready. Brendon was determined to get a kiss or 2 from her because she looked like a princess.
 So sweet, I love watching my boys sleep and getting to cuddle with them.

 Brendon went fishing and caught a Kat. He ran around my parents house with the net for an hour trying to catch Aunt Kat. His laugh was so fun to hear when he'd get her. She would then escape and they would start again
  
One of Brendon's calmer moments is whenever he is near the puppies. He loves to just sit and pet them. This new set he got to name and says they are his puppies. He loves to watch Anna, Elsa, and Sven play when we go over.  
 A few fun Selfie pictures we took to send to Daddy while he was gone.
 Everett got to meet Great Grandpa Rivers for the first time. Brendon was not happy that he was holding his baby brother and kept telling Great Grandpa to give baby brother back to his mommy. It was fun to watch them talk back and forth as my grandfather explained he wasn't going to take him away.
 
Daddy's home!
 We attended my sister Kathleen's 8th Grade Graduation, that should have been held in the High school if you ask me. We ended up in the standing room only over by the handicap section with my mom, and that was a good spot, a lot of people were in the halls outside the gym and standing outside with the gym doors propped open. My dad was clear across the small gym standing along the bleacher wall. (We all drove up separate and it was hard to get all together with the crowds) Anyway it was a lot of fun to watch and Brendon loved playing Eye Spy Aunt Kat. The principal ended the ceremony with great statement 

" Believe in yourself and surround yourself with people who believe in you"
