Lance and I getaway!!!!!

A few weekends ago Lance and I had the chance to run a boy to the airport to go home and then we stayed in Wichita overnight. We kinda called it our 10 year anniversary getaway!!! It was so nice to have a night to ourselves!!! Except the really pathetic thing is and this will show how crazy our lives can be, right after we checked into our hotel room we both feel asleep for like 3 hours!!!! Boy we are alot of fun!!!! We went to dinner at a yummy steakhouse, and since I have lost a little weight Lance bought me some new clothes and yes everyone he does pick them out for me because I suck at it!!! We had a really nice night away and thank you sooooooooo much Grammie and Papa for watching the kids it was nice to have some fun by ourselves!!! This picture kinda sucks also but at least I got one huh!!!!

Braysen's Haircut

This is a pic of Braysen after his little haircut. He has thick, coarse hair just like his daddy's. He looks so big and grown-up!!! He loved Lisha's water bottle and was such a good boy!!! I forgot to take my camera in but here is an after shot!!!

Brinlee and Braysen

I am so thankful for Brinlee she is such a big helper with Braysen. If I need to get things done I always tell her to entertain him. She runs around the house and he crawls as fast as he can after her. These pics she was reading him books it was so sweet!!! I am so lucky to have such sweet, darling kids!!!

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!!!
