Braxtons Friends

So living out here in little Tipton where the entire town is Catholic (pretty much all) has sure helped us appreciate the Gospel soooo much more. We had the opportunity to go to Braxtons friends First Communion and from what I gathered while being there it is kinda like their first time partaking of the Sacrement but in a totally confusing way. We were invited and because Braxton loves his little buddies so much we thought it would be a good chance for us to show our support to them. I think it is also neat to show Braxton what types of different Religons are out there and he usually comes back and says "Mom I like our church way better." We are also excited to use this experience as a Missionary tool because we let his friends know that Braxton would be Baptized this summer and they all wanted to come. So this has been such a neat experience for all of our family. The one boy closest to Braxton is Ben. They are such good buddies!!!!

Big Sister

Brinlee is such a good big sister!!! She is always trying to make Braysen happy and she does such a good job!!! She is just my little helper. The other day when we got back from somewhere I set Braysen down in his carseat and while I was putting things away she got him out of his carseat and layed him on a blanket. Yes, I was a little nervous but she was trying to help and he was fine. They are such good little buddies and it is so fun to see them together. I can't believe that Braysen will be five months in a week it has gone by way to fast!!! We went to his check-up the other day and he weighs 14lbs and he is 25 inches long. He is eating cereal now and loves it!!! I am so happy that he is part of our family and we all love him soooo much!! Lance thought it was so funny to put some rock music on for Braysen. He just sat there and listened did not even move, how about the ear phones so cute!!!!

Make-up Girls

So here are a few pictures I have been hanging on to!!! Sorry I am soooo behind but I can't believe how fast time goes by. We had Kevy and Binny and the girls over one day for dinner and the girls decided they needed to do make-up!!! Lizzy's and Nellie's looked cute but can you see my daughters blue face??? What in the world and all I could say was how beautiful Brinlee!!! That same day I forgot my make-up bag at Kevy's so I had no make-up on but I loved how cute Braysen looked in the picture and wanted to share it with you. The last silly picture on this is of my daughter!!! I tell you she keeps us laughing. She wanted to try on her swimsuit but it was kind of a cool day. So she decided that she had to wear it all day and the slippers too!!! Gotta love it!!! The last one is Braysen just chillin in the recliner!!!

Easter

We started out by going the weekend before Easter up to Concordia with Kevy and Binny and the girls. We had so much fun!!! We went to the Concordia Easter Egg Hunt and then we went back to Kevy and Binny's and the kids colored eggs!!!The kids had such a good time together. Thanks guys for letting us spend the day with you we had such a great time!!!! Then on Easter Day we had Stake Conference and since that invovled driving an hour and a half we decided to stay home and do our own thing. Lance gave the family a really nice lesson about Easter and the kids colored Easter Eggs and we made cookies. We also had Whitney and Mike over that night for dinner!! We had soooo much fun!!!!!
