Braysen 9 months!!!

I can't believe that Braysen is 9 months already!! It has gone by soooo fast!!! He is such a sweet baby and is doing so much better at night. The kids all share a room in this house and I think that he is such a light sleeper every sound they make in their sleep would wake him up. So yes I know this sounds silly but if I get to sleep through the night I will do anything. He sleeps in his port a crib in the dining room. He wakes up cries for a few minutes and goes right back to sleep. But if he is in with the kids he wakes them up so this works out so nice!!!! He is the fastest little crawler ever. He pulls himself up to everything. The other day he took a few steps. He loves to clap his hands and says Mama and Dadda. He loves his older brother and sister and they are so good with him. He loves Grammie and Papa and yesturday at Braxtons football game he loved being on Papas shoulders. We go for his 9 month check-up tomorrow and I bet he is at least 20 pounds. We call him our little chunky monkey!!! We are so excited that he is in our family!!! Oh by the way he is HUGE Daddy's boy!!!

Little Miss Brinlee

What can I say about my little sweet Brinlee!!! The other day her Kindergarten teacher asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up she said "A Princess." And that she is!!! We love her so much!! She can make Braysen laugh when he is fussy. She is so sweet and kind to Braxton. I decided one Saturday night to put curlers in her hair, she loved it!!! It turned out so cute!!! She loves to wear her new princess sunglasses and she loves to go to school!!! We are so glad that she is in our family!! We love you Brinlee!!!

Bike Race at Pahls Farm

Sorry I have not updated for awhile I have been busy with all the fun things going on. My music class at the elementary school has been really fun, but lots of extra work!!! I have had some questions about the kids school and so I thought I would tell you a little bit about it. It is here in our little town of Tipton just up the street the kids walk to school every morning. It is a private school but they do not have to wear uniforms or anything. The music class I teach is only in 20 minute sessions so I am at the school for about an hour in the afternoon and 20 min in the morning. I am so thankful that my mom is out here and has been able to watch the kids it is so nice to be invovled over at the kids school. We have met another couple here in town that has been so kind to our family, the Towner's. Our kids are in pictures here with their kids. Brinlee is with Anna and Braxton is with Ben. We are so glad that the Towner family has taken us in and they are such good friends to us. They try and include us in things going on around town it has been great!!! Here we went to a farm for a Bike Race and a really yummy dinner!!! The kids had alot of fun!!!

First Day of School!!!!

I don't know who was more excited for the kids to start school them or me!!!! It was so cute Brinlee was so excited to get to Kindergarten and she just loved her first day!! She is just my little social butterfly and is so loving and sweet. She has 7 kids in her class 4 girls and 3 boys. Her teacher is Mrs. Towner one of my really good friends!!! Braxton also loved 3rd grade, he has 11 kids in his class including him. One of the pictures is of him and his teacher Mrs. Bummer. The silly thing about the kids teachers is that they are twin sisters and I am really good friends with them they are the sweetest gals!!!! Braxton had a wonderful first day also he was so excited to get up and go again today. He is such a smart little stink and just does so well!!! The kids were so excited that Grammie came over to go with them to thier first day. I think they wanted her to take them not me!!!! We love both our kids soooo much and we are (mainly me)so excited that they are back in school!!!

My laughing Baby Boy!!!

I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!!! We haven't seen him ever laugh this much!!

I am way excited, nervous and very overwhelmed!!! I don't know how you teachers do all the lessons. It might help if I wasn't such an organized freak!!! Which brings me to the next thing that happend in my life. I just got called as the new YW President!!! Which I am way excited for but now ORGANIZE mode hits me!!!! Next, I am still doing my online billing job!!! Not a whole lot of work but enough to keep me going!!!! Last but not least by an means I am a mom!! Of very busy beautiful fun kids!!! I am way excited for school to start and I know they are too they keep counting the days down!!! A VERY MOBILE BABY!!! Braysen is into EVERTHING wait did I say EVERYTHING!!!!!!! I love him tons but he is a busy little man crawling, pulling himself up, and he even is being daring and lets go of the couch once in awhile!!!! SO anyhow cut me some slack I will try and keep caught up!!!! Love you all family and friends we miss you!!!!
