Braxdon with is little brother Branson.. Branson always loves when he gets to go to the school to see his brothers.

Braxdon had a great time getting his face painted for the big Performance!

Thank you to all our Friends who made it a special day for both Braxdon and Braydon!!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!

Braydon School Work

Braydon has always been excited for school ever since he was little and watched his older brother go.  Braydon has so much energy and is always excited about his projects. So today he shared with me a journal they had done in class. Here are a few of the sentences and pictures..

Braydon is learning how to read and his favorite books are Dr. Seuss! 

He will read this same book over and over. 

Braydon always bring joy and laughter into our home!!! He is such a good brother, always making sure if he gets a treat at school he saves just enough to bring home and share with his two brothers.  

He loves to be the class clown and he likes to make sure all his friends are happy.

Braxdon School Work.....

Today Braxdon brought home some of the projects he has been working on in school. I was so proud and impressed at his Painting, drawing and writing I had to share...

CHINAMAN'S HAT

Also in his class they have been writing Autobiographies. (I had no idea) And each child was given a bound copy to take home. It has a self portrait drawn by each child and an autobiography.  Braxdon has a great teacher, but after reading the autobiography I am thinking maybe the parents should have had a chance to proof read!!

808 Bounce

Last week it rained almost everyday so we were trying to get creative in our activities. Since every Wed. school gets out at 12:30 I decided to take the boys to 808 Bounce! It is a new activity in the mall. They had so much fun running, jumping, bouncing and smashing. There was a little boy and his mom visiting family from Columbus, and his mom and uncles thought it was so funny when Braxdon or Braydon would hit him so hard with the joust and knock him over. The laughed and laughed, good thing the boy never got hurt.. But they had a great time. Sorry the pictures are not to clear, but you get the point.

Can you believe a FREE merry-go-round...

Of course we cannot ride on the horse we have to climb the pole.

(Braxdon was running around to fast and would not stop for a picture)

10 years!!!!

This last Saturday Brandon and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary. 

We flew over to Maui, stayed at the Grand Wailea Resort, ate at Melting pot and of course Krispy Kream!!! The resort had fun water slides, and great pools. Thanks to my great husband we had a great weekend.  Love you!!

Here we are at melting pot.. We had asked two different waiters to take our picture so we could have a nice one to remember the whole event, but they were terrible so we took our own!! haha

While we were at dinner Brandon had the room decorated for when we came back.. 

So SWEET!!!

Branson

With Branson being the only child home during the day we get to have so much fun!! The other day I was loading the dishwasher and out of no where I hear... MOM COME FIND ME!!!! So immediately knew it was time for hide and seek! And Branson being very clever found a great spot and he did not say a word....

 

Can you spot him??? The only basket in the middle of the floor.. haha

So clever!!

Also we were given a family statue from papa Terry and Julie for our Sealing about 2 years ago, and this little man packs it around every where he goes... Then he will point to each person and name them.. Dad, Mom, Braxdon, Braydon, Branson.. So cute!!!
