First Day of School!!!!!


Braxton was soooo excited for school he could hardly sleep last night. He has 5 kids in his class, and this year he is in a new classroom over at the high school which is right next door to the elementary. I am so excited for him he does so well and being in a smaller classroom sure makes a difference for him. He is not taught by nuns which some people thought because it is a Catholic Christian school he has a very sweet teacher and he has the same one that he had last year which is nice. He has about 35 kids in his entire elementary and they go from Kindergarten to 5th grade. I hope that answers any questions, we are in a small town!!!!

Braxton looks so grown-up I can't believe he is in second grade already!!! Time flys!!

It's a BOY!!!!!!


We are so excited that we are having a boy!!! I think Braxton was more excited than the rest of us!!! Brinlee wanted a girl in the begining but I think that it was ok because she acted really excited!!!! He is growing big and weighs 1 pound, all of his measurements were right on so he is doing really good!!! I can feel him move like crazy especially when I eat he loves that time!!! I am so excited also to shop because I have nothing for a boy so that will be lots of fun!!!!

Braxtons Birthday Weekend

We took Braxton to a Kansas City Royals Baseball Game and Worlds of Fun for his Birthday!!! We had a great time!!!! It was fun to be with Grammie and Papa and Mike we loved it!!!! I can't believe that Braxton is 7 already boy does time fly!!!! I love him so much he is such a sweet boy and so loving to his sister it makes some days just wonderful!!!!

Braxton, Brinlee, Dad and Grammie at the Ball Game!!!

We had to hurry and get to the game it was Ladies night and every girl got a pink hat Brinlee just thought that was the coolest thing ever and she had it on the entire time!!! At the end of the game it started to rain and she looked at everyone and said "Hello (with her hands out) it is raining we need to go!!!" Papa thought that was so funny she says the cutest things!!!!

Right when we got to Worlds of fun we saw Snoopy and Brinlee just loved him, Braxton wanted to get to all the rides but she wanted a hug from snoopy!!!

Braxton was so cute with Brinlee on each and every ride he would help her on and make sure she was buckled and safe. It is so fun as a mom to watch them together!!

We are so thankful that Grammie and Papa got to come with us it was one of the best trips we had before they left to go home. We are so thankful that they let us move into thier big house out here in Kansas. We are grateful for all the hard work they did in helping us move in. We love them soooooo much and we are missing them already!!!

Kansas Sunset


We have the most beautiful sunsets here!!! We do get some pretty STRONG thunderstorms.I am a complete baby when it come to thunder and lighting and boy we have some nice loud storms out here!!! We had a lot of tornado's pass by us this spring but all in all the sunsets and nice days make it all worth it.

Frosting Cookies

One of my kids favorite things is Grammies sugar cookies!!! They love to frost them and eat them!!! After the 4th we did star cookies, Carson and Conner were there too with Kiki and Nandy(as Brinlee says) We had so much fun with them here I was sooooo glad they came to visit!!!

Braxton is a perfectionist like me just enough frosting on everyside!!!

Brinlee eats more frosting then ends up on her cookies she loves it!!!

Salina Zoo!!!

Since I am still feeling like crap I didn't get to take me kids to the wichita zoo with Sandy and Kiki and the boys. So we decided to take them a little closer to the Salina zoo. It was a nice day low 80's and overcast it was perfect!!!! The kids got to feed a giraffe it was a fun day and it was only an hour and Lance pushed me in a wheelchair!!! He is such a good guy!!!!
