It's Finally Summer Break!!!

After 33,300 miles of driving, Bryson's 2 1/2 years of preschool are finally over!!  Bryson's t-ball games also ended Monday night.  He loved playing and I know he'll be asking us for a while when his next game is.  I was pleasantly surprised with how it all went and I really think Bryson enjoyed it.  If these photos we got aren't proof enough, then I don't know what is!:
And everything is better when a trophy is involved at the end!
 Go Seminoles!:
School is finally over.  Zane and Bryson both finished on Friday (minus a few work days for Zane next week).  We were so excited that Zane got to come with us to Bryson's preschool graduation this year.  The previous 2 years I've always recorded parts of it for Zane to see because he's always had to work so it was nice that he got the morning off to come watch.  I wasn't so happy that this happened to Bryson's face just a few days before:
See these little red dots down the side of his face (you might have to click the picture to see it bigger)?  Any guesses what it's from?
 Bryson and Ashlyn teamed up and we heard the same story from both.  Basically Bryson wanted to walk on the treadmill and Ashlyn watches me do it everyday so she showed Bryson where the key was.  Since it was up high, Bryson stood on his drum stool to reach the key.  Ashlyn used her fine motor skills to put the key in the treadmill and then turned it on the slow setting for Bryson.  Then Ashlyn told us "I turned it on, but Bryson is the one who turned it up fast!"  Apparently Bryson turned it up as fast as it went and when he fell, Ashlyn turned it off for him.  Those little red dots are the burns from the treadmill belt.  Anyway, it's healing quickly but is still not fun to see on his chin!  Luckily it happened before his graduation and not right before class pictures. :)  And I'm also glad that it was after his graduation that he decided to fall down the slide at church and scratch up the other side of his face:
Back to graduation...Ashlyn was very excited that we had an hour and a half to waste before we had to be back to Bryson's school so she got to go to Waffle House with Mommy and Daddy!:
And Bryson was so excited when it was finally time to sing for all the mommies and daddies!
(Sorry for the finger covering the microphone on the first two performance songs and the blurriness from converting the videos)
And who can resist cake, cookies, chips, and punch?:
And they even awarded him his own little diploma that he is so proud of (as you can see by his little fingerprints all over it already)!:
 Bryson has grown so much in preschool and his teachers have been amazing!  We are excited (although a little nervous) to see how Kindergarten goes!  He will for sure miss his teachers who he was been with for 2 1/2 years!  Ms. Sharon has really expressed how much she'll miss Bryson.  Bryson and Ashlyn both have loved her!:
It's been a great school year, but we are very excited for our summer!!!

Yay Bryson! Good job! It's good he didn't cry this year when it was time to sing about the babies on the bus crying. The best part was definitely listening to him talk to Ashlyn! I was cracking up then.

GOOD JOB, Bryson, you are such a sweet little guy. I loved your songs and you were such a big boy when you went up to get your certificate. I am sorry Bryson's little face was hurt. I don't have much luck on a treadmill either. LOL Your diploma looks like the big kids diploma. I would probably have my fingerprints all over mine too. (Cute)
I love you,
Nanna

I forgot to tell Bryson how proud I am of him with his T-ball team. I loved his trophy for doing such a great job. (hugs)

Way to go Bryson!!! Awesome post. I laughed when Bryson told Ashy she was doing it wrong. Guess he has a mind of his own, huh?? How fun!
