Night at home!

One night a couple of weeks ago we were able to have a quite night at home. It was nice and relaxing. I found the two older boys working a puzzle together. They were working so good together. This mom was so proud.

Working hard.

Braxton and Brazos are good puzzle workers.

I found dad and Brayson working hard in the office, Brayson was being a big help to dad.

Look what I can do mom.

So good, and we all had a wonderful evening.

Fun Times with Friends

While we were in Iowa we got to spend some good quatily time with some friends and family. While we would have loved to spend more time with them, we enjoyed what we did get. Here are some pictures from our adventure.

Brayson and Kaden found a puddle of water in the parking lot. They decided it would be a lot of fun to play. It was great.

More water fun.

Kaden (the ring leader) not taking time to slow down!!

Look at him go - he was literally covered in water from head to toe before he was done. All that from about an inch of water.

Going Strong.

What??? I was suppose to stay out of the water?

Brazos, taking a little time to sort of smile at the camera.

Kaden, Mr. Serious!

Look, I am smiling at you, can you please just take the picture.

A mouth full of something.

Oh, that was so funny!!!

What ever it was I know for sure that Kaden did not do it . . . I think.

Time to clean up, everyone in.

I am ready to get down, thanks for the sushi, it was wonderful!

Thanks everyone, we had a great time and look forward to seeing you all whenever we can.

Braxton's 5th Birthday Party - Round 1

My bug boy turned 5 last month. He is getting so big and most days I wish I could stop his growth. I am glad he is growing and learning, but that means that he is getting big, and it makes my heart hurt. We made another trip to Iowa and Braxton said he wanted to have his party there. So, we had a party at Incredible Pizza. We had a great time and he loved every minute of it. He did great. He wanted to see all of "his friends" so that is just what we did.

Making the big entry.

Getting a special package and a birthday sticker.

Special board with his name on it.

Party room. Look at that big boy.

Getting ready to sing happy birthday to the birthday boy.

Happy Birthday to you!!!!
