Our Trip to Utah!!!

We really had the kids fooled about this whole trip. We stayed in a hotel the night before we left and we didn't even tell them we were going until we got to the airport. Brinlee kept asking questions about why I was talking about airplanes but Braxton was clueless!!!! Here is the kids in the hotel lobby waiting for dad to bring the car around, Stylin in thier shades!!!

We stayed at Lances moms and she has a pool so for Labor Day we had my family over to swim and have a barb-e-que. It was fun to see my Dad, Mom, brothers and sisters cousins, Annie and Ralph my grandparents. I was sooo glad that Grandma and Grandpa Richey came down from Salt Lake to see us we just love seeing them!!!!

Aunt Sandy and Brinlee

My kids are the biggest nerds when it comes to handheld games!! I am thankful for them though because we have to drive so far to places out here it sure keeps them happy!!!! Brinlee on grandmas couch playing her gameboy.
Well I guess not just my kids!!! We went to Olive Garden for Sandy's birthday I was so glad I was there for that we had such a good time!!!

Carson and Brinlee being silly!!!!

ME and my little princess!!! I usually don't put pics of me on here but I loved this one of sissy. Yes I am pregnant and you can tell AHHHHHHH!!!!

Lances sister Ashlye does nails and gives pedicures so while we were there I took sissy and I in for a pedicure. It was so fun to see how big she was and how excited she was to get it done.

My big girl I love her so much!!! It is fun to have a mommy daughter thing to do together!!!!

Brinlee and Aunt Ashlye, She loves her Aunt Ashlye she always talks about her black hair but I think this last time we went she had highlights oh well she will always be the Aunt Ashlye with the black hair to Brinlee.!!

The kids put on a show for us downstairs at my moms it was pretty silly, Braxton, Brinlee Carson and Conner. They were presenting each other and dancin like crazy it was pretty funny. They also had pillows and blankets all set up for us to sit on.

Napkin head friends!!! We also got to see the Shaw family while we were there we had such a good time!!! Thier kids are getting so big and are so cute. The kids loved playing together. Thanks Jer and Lish for taking time out for us!!!!!

Little Miss Paige what a cutie she is!!!!

We had to take a trip to Lances favorite resturant Samuri 21 it was sooo good the kids even ate Lances sushi that was pretty cool.

Lance would not smile for me because of his missing tooth!! He had to have a front tooth pulled and an implant put in while we were out there. He did really well but I am married to him and so I won't put my picture of him on here but if you want a good laugh go to Sandy's blog there is one on there!!!!!
We also got to go to a really fun place called Jumpin Jacks, the kids had a BLAST!!! I was soooooo thankful for Aunt Kiki and Uncle Mike they were so good with the kids and helped them up the slides, Thanks guys!!!!

Braxton going down one of the slides, He was so good to help sissy and his cousins also.

Brinlee going down the slides. I was pretty impressed with her she dares to do anything!!!

This was our last night there. We didn't get to see Lances family very much except for at night because everyone had to work. But when we got together it was alot of fun. All of our nieces and nephews are getting so big and it was fun to see them all play together!!!

Brinlee and McKaye were so cute together they had such a fun time helping grandma cook!!!

I use to tend Jameson before I left and when he was a baby I would bring him into bed with me until the kids got up for school!! Now he is huge I can't believe how big he is!!!

Byron is the baby of the family until ours gets here. He us such a good baby and he never cries!!! He is also at that fun stage he just laughs and smiles at you. I was so excited to see him so I can remember what it is like to have a baby around!!!!
Well that is all thanks to everyone that put us with us in Utah we had such a great time and we will be back in February to bless the baby and show him off Love you all!!!!!

Build-a-Bear Adventure

We surprised the kids and took them last week to Utah but to distract them we told them we would take them to Build-a-Bear workshop in Wichita. It was the cutest thing ever I highly recommend it, They got to pick their bear its clothes and shoes. They even got to name them.

Sweet Little Cousins

We had Lizzy over the other day to play it was so cute to watch the girls play. They are all girls they both want Hanna Montana dolls and Lizzy wants long blonde hair like Hanna Montana. I have to add though Brinlee has never seen the show and only seen the doll on t.v. I think Lizzy is the same. They just are such little girlie girls and I am so glad that they love to play. After lunch we went over to see thier Dads at the school and Brinlee had to grab Lizzy's hand to go I grabbed the camera fast on this one!!!

My little Preschooler!!!!

Brinlee loves going to school!!! It is her and another little boy in the class. She gets a LOT of one on one and I am soooo thankful for that. She is getting so big and I am so proud of her!!!

She had to take a picture with "Broder"!!!

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!!!
