My little Dunker

So Brinlee loves to dunk everything into milk!!! Cookies especially the double stuff oreos, graham crackers and my favorite the golden oreos. Just like Papa she is going to dunk it all!!!! She also washes her hands 50 times a day another trait I think she got from her Papa!! Gotta love them!!!!

Big Brother and Little Sis

Braxton loves to read to his little sister I think it is the cutest thing ever!!! I mostly think he does it so he can stay up later but I know he loves her!!!

Thanks!!!!

Thanks so much for all the input on the Baby's name it has been helpful!! I think we are down to Braden and Jacob. Lance brought up the name Jacob the other day and he really likes it!!! So we will see maybe when he comes out what he looks like. I hate to do that I love to be all planned, but until I get a definate from Lance I have to be patient. After all he is the one that will bless it and can change it. But all I know is that if it is Jacob I will want another just to even out the different name, I always wanted 4 anyhow!!! But this pregnancy has been harder than the other two so we will have to see!!! I just found out also that I have a tiny bit of Diabetes but not too bad so that made me feel better. I just have to watch a little of what I eat. But only 2 months to go and then it goes away YEAH!!!! The baby had the hiccups for the first time yesturday that I could feel which was really neat!!! I am getting way excited for him to get here!!!!

Any ideas?????

So Lance and I are having the hardest time deciding on a name for this little baby boy!!! I think it is part our fault because I don't want him the odd man out so it has to be a name that starts with BR. Brax Brin that was soooo our fault!!!!! Anyhow if you have heard any cute BR names I am open to suggestions I have looked online and in books I am at a total loss!!! The only name Lance will give me is CHUCK!!!!! YEAH RIGHT!!!!! Anyhow let me know what you think!!!!!

Funny things my kids say

One day Braxton came home and said Mom I HATE kickball some of the kids throw so hard see my ear it has blood on it. So I told him that is how the game is played sorry. A couple days later he came home and told me how he got one of his classmates out by throwing the ball at her. She was bugged at him and I guess got upset, so he tells me that he just wanted to say to her "Welcome to my World!!!!"

The other day I was getting Brinlee ready. She goes to put her pants on and says, "Mom these pants are so marvelous!!!"

All the kids at Braxtons school drink caffine and one day Braxton asked well why can't I. So I explained how we have been asked not to by the church and he said well Dad does. I said I know we need to keep bugging Dad so that he won't do it anymore. So the kids have been really good at keeping Dad on track. The other day we were at Sams and Lance went to get some Red bull or something and Brinlee says to him "Daddy you don't need Caffine!!!!!" I am glad they harass him now!!!!!!

I am so happy to have such fun kids!! They say the funniest things sometimes and no better way to share them than over my blog!!!!!

If I had pictures to update with Trust me I would!!!!

I am being harassed for not updating but I am telling you we live the simple life remember we are out here in a simple little town!!!!!! I guess I can tell you what goes on each day out here in our little town of Tipton!!!!! Lance works at the school everyday and loves every minute of it. He tells me everyday that he comes home how much he loves his job, I tell you the boys love him also. He is also the Ward Financial/Membership clerk which he does a fantastic job at. He loves to read and I think since we have been out here he has burned through like 20 books!!!!! I am just a stay at home mom. I do some insurance billing for a billing company but mostly I take care of the kids. I am the Relief Society 1st counselor, I also teach Seminary once a week which has been a HUGE challenge but I am sure I am being blessed in return. I have to drive one hour to teach so that has been a struggle also. But I know the Lord watches out for me. I know I am where I am suppose to be right now if my life. The baby boy inside of me is growing healthy and strong I am the smallest with him unlike my other two. I am being induced if he doesn't come early on December 8th I live about 1 1/2 hours from the hospital. We are so excited for him and we are pretty well ready with the things that we need, now all we have to do according to Brinlee is go the "hostible" and get him out!!!!!! Braxton is doing soooo well in school and I am very proud of him he loves to play basketball but most of all play the playstation 3. Brinlee is the sweetest thing ever most of the time I don't know she is there because she is so good at playing by herself. She loves school and is also doing really well. Our days are pretty simple but most of all we get to spend alot of time together, and I know that it has helped our family a ton. I really believe that being here and slowing down has brought us closer together. I am thankful for the opportunity to be here and I know that my kids have grown from it also!!!! So that is the day and the life of the Leavitt Family in the little town of Tipton Kansas!!!!!!

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!!!!!
