Brooklyn's Fifteenth Birthday

 My baby turned Fifteen!



No party this year, she just wanted a day at home with good food, presents and to watch Gilmore Girls.  For breakfast she requested cinnamon roll pancakes made by her dad.





Gilmore Girl pajamas


and tickets to go see Stephen Sanchez the following weekend.


We set up snacks later in the day to enjoy while we watched Gilmore Girls.


Her requested pasta for dinner



and her favorite chocolate on chocolate cake for dessert!





Happy 15th Birthday Brooklyn!

Brooklyn's 8th Grade Graduation

 

Brooklyn finished her years as a middle schooler and is officially off to high school next month. I'm not ready for this next school year for so many reasons. 


Here is my 'little' girl all ready for her ceremony.



Kayla drove and met us at the middle school after she got out and immediately got to work on finishing her card to her sister while we waited for the ceremony to begin.


It was HOT, 100 degrees and sitting in direct sun for hours was not fun at all!  We were melting and not quite sure why it was not held inside.


After all the kids got their name called for graduation they announced the Principal Awards.  Brooklyn got it!!!!
It was so hot and hectic at the end that I felt bad because people were leaving and just trying to get out of their so it kind of took away the excitement but I don't think she noticed.  We were still super excited for her!!!


She received this award her 6th grade year so we didn't think she would receive it again and it was cute that the boy who received it was also her boyfriend, power couple! lol


His family and us with the two recipients and their principal.


Pictures with some friends.



Their favorite teacher!
He was their science as well as one of their ASB teachers.



We came home after, we all agreed we just wanted to shower after being soaked in sweet.  Chris and Kayla dropped Brooklyn and I off and went to grab us In N out for dinner.  I took some pictures of our graduate before we hoped in the shower.


So incredibly proud of her!!!



All clean and cooled off we celebrated our girl and enjoyed the rest of the night together at home just as she likes.



High School here she comes!

Graduation Dance

 

Brooklyn received the prettiest yellow roses from her boyfriend the day of their 8th grade graduation dance.  He's always so sweet and thoughtful.


I can't believe she is off to high school!
Look how beautiful and grown up my baby is now.
She looked beautiful!





The school sold the cutest boutonnieres and corsages for the kids to buy.  They were fake flowers so it is nice they get to keep them forever. 




Their principal jumped in for the pic. 


They had a great time.  They both like to dance so they were out on the dance floor the entire time having a blast.

8th Grade Catalina Trip

Brooklyn left very early one Friday in May to go to Catalina for the weekend with her schools Science club. She was very excited to spend the weekend snorkeling, dissecting sea creatures, hiking. learning all about the ocean and of course just being with her friends.  Her school did a great job of taking lots of pictures and sharing them with all of us parents waiting back home hoping they were having fun.

























So many fun memories were made!
