Since I can't send everyone an invite to Braxtons Baptism I thought I would post it on my blog. I can't believe he is going to be eight that is so nuts!!!! Thanks so much Aunt Sandy for making the invite you did such an amazing job!! Can't wait to see you there!!!The picture underneath the invite is one that I sent also. My cute kids!!!!!

Six Months Old!!!!

What can I say about our Braysen. He is such a good baby and sometimes I forget he is here because he can be soooo quiet and play by himself. He is always happy and smiles at everyone. He is very busy and always moving around. His brother and sister love him very much and he is always sooooo excited when they play with him. He weighs 17lbs and he is 26inches long now. He is growing soooo fast but is such a great addition to our home. He loves his Daddy and will just stare at him until Daddy talks to him. He is not a very good sleeper. Sometimes I have to remind myself to be patient after getting up every two hours to give him his bink. But during the day he sleeps like a champ for 2 sometimes 3 hours at a time. We love him and we are so blessed to have him in our home. We love you little guy!!!!

I know its about time HUH!!!!

We have had ALOT going on the last few months and time has jut sped by!!! We are sooo excited Aunt KiKi and Uncle Dave moved out here by us and that is sooo much fun having them close. The kids got out of school for the summer so we had field day and Braxtons little end of the year program. I am so excited they offered me a job over at Braxtons school to be the new music teacher!!!!! I am excited to get started next school year!!!! The picture of Brinlee and her little friend Hayden so cute!!!!

We have a really nice bowling alley close by and one night we all went it was alot of fun. The little girls are so fun to watch bowl. Also that day the little girlies wanted to go run through the sprinklers so that is them in their suits.

We also had Uncle Mikee move out here too. He is working on the farm. One night him and KiKi took the kids up to see the baby goats, they loved it!!!

The town library had a creative day and had a cake decorator come and talk to the kids they loved it!!! After she was done they got to go and decorate their own cookie it was alot of fun. After that we brought home friends with us to play that day. Brinlee had Leah over and Braxton had Ben over. That day has been the best of the summer for me. The kids were entertained all day and I didn't have to think of things for them to do all day. We have a blow-up waterslide and they got to go on it later in the afternoon because it had been so cold that morning. Braysen loves to sit in his swing and watch the kids through the back door. What a great summer so far!!!!

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!!!!!
